“…Schinus molle L. (Anacardiaceae) is the first registered host plant for Amastus walkeri (Rothschild) and the first family record for the genus Amastus. Only two species of hemipteran insects harmful to Schinus molle L. have been reported (MÓSTIGA & LOZADA, 2019) and, among the Lepidoptera, three species are known to use it as a hostplant: Leurocephala chilensis Vargas & Moreira, 2017 (Gracillariidae), Iridopsis hausmanni Vargas, 2007 (Geometridae), and Eupithecia yubitzae Vargas & Parra, 2004 (Geometridae) (VARGAS, 2014;VARGAS et al, 2015;PEREIRA et al, 2017).…”

The hostplant, Schinus molle L. (Anacardiaceae) and the last instar of the Arctiinae Amastus walkeri (Rothschild, 1922) are reported for the first time. Several caterpillars with abundant setae and gregarious behavior, were observed feeding on the leaves of Schinus molle L. in the department of Arequipa, southwestern Peru. Ten caterpillars were collected and raised in laboratory condition. Two adults were recovered. According to the external morphology of the adults, they correspond to the species identified as Amastus walkeri (Rothschild).
