Brazil

Brazil is a very large country with some specific range areas. In anticipation of continued membership growth and large numbers of sightings, I will begin to create state by state checklists for Brazil.

This should help with identifications of many "look-a-like" species.

Sometimes people send me images of moths and/or their larvae from various countries. It is usually very helpful to know the collecting/sighting data as many species have specific ranges. Hopefully these provincial checklists, supported by Claude Lemaire's major Saturniidae works will help me and others with identifications.

I have not seen such checklists in Lemaire's publications, and the checklists are derived by going through his species accounts, one at a time.

I, William Oehlke, have added some interpolations, designated by my initials (WO). Please note, my interpolations are not confirmed and may or may not be present. Please send sightings/images to Bill Oehlke.

Dr. Lemaire's confirmed reports are indicated by his initials (CL). Additions beyond that will receive a special note.
