Argentina: Salta Province Checklists

Copiopteryx virgo, courtesy/copyright Ulf Drechsel.

This checklist has been assembled by going through the individual species notes in Dr. Claude Lemaire's great works: Attacidae, 1978, Arsenurinae, 1980, Ceratocaminae and Hemileucinae, 2002. Those species recognized by Dr. Lemaire from Salta are followed by his initials (CL).

Please note: Those species followed by my intitials (WO?) are speculative. I have no confirmed reports of them in Salta Province. However, I feel they may be present based on reports in surrounding areas.

Please help me improve the accuracy of this page by sending electronic images with data to William Oehlke.

Many thanks to Fernando Cesar Penco (FP) for his report and images of Gamelia abasia from Salta.
