Updated as per ZOOLOGIA LEPIDÓPTEROS DE IMPORTÂNCIA MÉDICA OCORRENTES NO RIO GRANDE DO SUL. III. SATURNIIDAE – HEMILEUCINAE (flight months; foodplants; RGDS); Alexandre Specht; Elio Corseuil; Aline Carraro Formentini

Rio Grande do Sul, southeastern Brazil

A "?" indicates that I (William Oehlke) expect this moth might be present, but I have no confirmed reports. An "a" indicates presence is confirmed in work of Alexandre Specte et. al. publication. A (*) indicates a presence confirmed in Claude Lemaire's works.

This website is designed and maintained by Bill Oehlke who can be reached at oehlkew@islandtelecom.com. If you have additions, corrections, data, images, etc., please send to Bill Oehlke.

Many thanks to all those who have contributed images and/or information. I look forward to additional documentation in the years to come. Hopefully many people in Rio Grande do Sul will carefully photograph mature larvae they encounter in the wild and will rear the larvae through to adulthood, giving us a link to the species and its larvae. Many of the larvae of Saturniidae from Rio Grande do Sul are still unknown.
