Abstract

Three new species of Saturniidae from Central Brazil are described: Cicia norape Becker (Ceratocampinae), Dysdaemonia concisa Becker, and Rhescyntis reducta Camargo & Becker (Arsenurinae)

Arsenura and Titaea (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Arsenurinae): new records for the Cerrado of Northeast Brazil

“…Knowledge of Saturniidae subfamilies, including Arsenurinae in the Northeast region is lower than that in the Southeast and South regions of Brazil (Mielke et al, 2020). The last records published of Saturniidae in the Cerrado of Maranhão were the description of Paradaemonia balsasensis Mielke & Furtado, 2005 and Rhescyntis reducta Camargo &Becker, 2001 (Becker andCamargo, 2001;Mielke and Furtado, 2005).…”

A new species of Hylesia Hübner (Lepidoptera, Saturniidae, Hemileucinae) from Brazilian Cerrado

“…The male sample was collected in Gallery Forest before the beginning of the rainy period in the Cerrado Region. Because they presented a mild environment during dry season, Gallery Forests form shelters and dispersion way to certain groups of typical fauna from damper environments (BROWN 2000, CAMARGO 2001. The females were captured in typical Cerrado vegetation areas during the rainy season.…”
