Some taxonomists consider Oxytenidae 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 Central and South America.
Mature larvae descend trees to pupate in subterranean chambers.
See the Genus Asthenidia, as Therinia is a junior synonym.
