Saturniidae: Tentative Checklist

NB: Those species followed by ? are unconfirmed. Many are low elevation species found in surrounding areas. If present, they would probably be from lower-lying areas in Chuquisaca.

Those species followed by ? are purely speculative. I have made this tentative checklist primarily as an identification tool for myself should I begin to receive additional electronic images from Chuquisaca Department.

My intitial attempts at determinations would be to compare the images with those I suspect are in Chuquisaca.

Quite a few of the species listed below may not be found in Chuquisaca, and there are probably quite a few species that do fly in Chuquisaca that are not on my tentative lists.

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 department 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 a question mark (?). Please note, my interpolations are not confirmed and may or may not be present. Please send sightings/images to Bill Oehlke.

Those species followed by * are confirmed by Claude Lemaire. There are some additions by Thibaud Decaens, Henrik Bloch and by All Leps Bar Code of Life. Additions of recently described species in the Entomo-Satsphingia journals from 2008-2015 are also included.
