I have very little in the way of confirmed records for Amambay Department. The checklists below are highly speculative and may include species not present and probably omit some species that are present. The lists have been assembled based on what I feel are good reports for Concepcion Department to the west and Canindeyu Department to the south.

Amambay, however, has a more mountainous topography, and lower altitude species may not be present. It would probably be wise to check the Mato Grosso, Brazil, checklists if you encounter something that does not seem to be included below.

It is also my understanding that Amambay Department is not easily accessible, and it may not be a safe place to be out at night with a generator (2007).

Sergio Rios (SR) adds and/or confirms a number of species from La Nina, February 18, 2002.

Arsenurinae Ars. armida SR Ars. xanthopus WO? D. brasiliensis WO? Dys. fosteri SR Parad. thelia WO? Titaea orsinome UD

Attacinae R. e. erycina WO? R. hes. lutea SR

Saturniinae Cop. flavina WO?

Ceratocampinae Adelon. acuta WO? Ad. catharina WO? Ad. s. sabulosa WO? Ad. subangul. SR Aw. flavosign. WO? Cith. laocoon WO? Oit. luteciae WO? Oit. convergens WO? Psilo. walkeri WO? Pt. paraguayensis SR Pt. photophila WO? Schaus. arpi SR S. hypoxantha WO? Syss. molina WO?

Hemileucinae Aut. hamata WO? Aut. naranja SR D. avialtoparanensis Eubergia caisa WO? Hyperch. orodina SR Lon. obliqua WO? P. circumstans WO? Pseud. luteata WO?

Those species followed by CL are confirmed by Claude Lemaire; those species followed by UD are indicated on http://www.pybio.org/PyBio.htm where Ulf Drechsel has provided many images and done many of the identifications; those species followed by WO? are interpolations/extrapolations by myself, with no confirmed reports as yet. Those species followed by UD? indicate status is unclear.
