"Someone to Watch Over Me" |
Determining Automeris species is becoming more and more difficult as there are a considerable number of very similar species, even some that are sympatric.
As of the end of 2011 there are now twelve Automeris species in the Egeus Group. I am hoping that the following keys on the Egeus Group Comparison Chart will help me and others with determinations. Location, wingspan, elevation can all be very helpful in making more accurate determinations. In some cases DNA barcoding analysis might be required to reach an accurate identification.
