Saturniidae: Tentative Checklist

Tarija is mountainous in the west with much lower elevations in the east. There are probably many more Saturniidae species present than have been confirmed. When I have more time, I will make a much more inclusive tentative checklists, based on species reported from Chuquisaca, northern Argentina and western Paraguay.

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 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.
