CERCOPHANA OF THE WORLD

Cercophana belong to the Subfamily Cercophaninae (Cercophanidae) of the Family Saturniidae.

Some taxonomists consider Cercophanidae to be a separate Family, distinguished from the Saturniidae due to different wing venation and larval morphology and behaviour.

These small to medium sized moths fly in Chile.
