This checklist is a compilation from a cd sent to me by Jean-Michel Maes and the data from Lemaire's Hemileucinae: 2002, Arsenurinae: 1980, Attacinae: 1978. Those species indicated by a * are in Lemaire's books as flying in Nicaragua. JMM has made numerous additions; all the Ceratocampinae and Hemileucinae are courtesy of Jean-Michel Maes.
