These provisional checklists of the different Saturniidae subfamilies have been largely created by going through the information provided in the
four great Saturniidae works by the late Dr. Claude Lemaire of France: Attacidae (1978), Arsenurinae (1980), Ceratocampinae (1988) and Hemileucinae (2002).
Dr. Lemaire's confirmations for Sao Paulo are indicated with *.
I have made many of my own interpolations from those works, particularly if a species was described from both Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro to the north and
Santa Catarina to the south. Those interpolations are followed by "?" to indicate I have no confirmed reports, but I anticipate the
species might have a range including the state of Sao Paulo.
Many new species have been described since the publications of Dr. Lemaire works and much effort has been made and continues to be made with revisions to the lists.
