Bill Oehlke, confirmed by Carlos Mielke
Pablo Wagner (PW) who lives, collects and sells specimens in/from Argentina has confirmed Neorcarnegia basirei from Misiones.
Please note: Those species followed by my intitials (WO?) are speculative. I have no confirmed reports of them in Misiones Province. However, I feel they may be present based on reports in southern Paraguay, southeastern Brazil and/or neighbouring provinces in Argentina.
Many thanks to Ezequiel Bustos who has begun to send me electronic images of Saturniidae species he encounters on his Sphingidae excursions. He has already confirmed Oz Rittner's sighting of Adeloneivaia subangulata with an electronic image of his own, and he has extended the known range of Dysdaemonia fosteri to eastern Argentina: Misiones. Ezequiel's report of Hylesia scortina in Misiones is a first time report for that species anywhere in Argentina.
