Saturniidae of Brazil

As collection data arrives, I will begin to list specifics on the map page and will place specific locations on the map.
Brazil is a very big country and some species are limited to specific areas.

If you are attempting to do identification work and you know the location of your specimens regarding States, then you can substantially narrow your search by visiting Brazil States. Otherwise there is a complete checklist for all of Brazil below.
