Those species followed by CL are confirmed by Claude Lemaire; those species followed by WO? are interpolations/extrapolations by myself, with no confirmed reports as yet. There are probably some erroneous inclusions and probably many omissions. The page will be updated if/when new information and images arrive.

Most, if not all, of Asuncion is part of the Gran Chaco region, which includes wide plains, swamps, dry or seasonally flooded savannas, marshes, salt flats and a great variety of dry forests and scrublands. I do not expect there will be great Saturniidae diversity in Asuncion. Those species which feed on mimosa, locust, acacia and shrubs are most likely to be found in Asuncion
