Some taxonomists consider Cercophanidae to be a separate Family, distinguished from the Saturniidae due to different wing venation and larval morphology and behaviour. Brechlin & Meister include them in Saturniidae Family.
These small to medium sized moths fly in Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador.
