“…The genus Dirphia Hübner [1819] (Saturniidae: Hemileucinae) has a wide distribution in the Neotropical region, including 41 species, of which 21 occur in Brazil (Mielke and Moser, 2007). Dirphia moderata Bouvier, 1929 occurs to the Brazilian South, Southeast and Northeast regions (Lemaire, 2002;Mielke and Moser, 2007;Santos et al, 2011), is highlighted by several studies as a leaf eating caterpillar on different host plants of economic interest, among them A. occidentale, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, Spondia mombin (L.) (Anacardiaceae), Rapanea umbellata (Mart.) Mez (Myrsinaceae), Eucalyptus cloeziana F. Muell and P. guajava (Myrtaceae) (Dias, 1988;Pereira et al, 2008a,b;Marques et al, 2009;Santos et al, 2011).…”

Abstract The genus Dirphia Hübner, [1819] presents Neotropical distribution. This genus, besides causing accidents of interest in public health, is a potential defoliator pest of cultivated plants, among them the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale L.), a crop of great economic importance. This study describes the biology, external morphology of the immature stages of Dirphia moderata Bouvier, 1929 including the first instar larva chaetotaxy. The egg stage had an average duration of 15 days, larval stage 45 days and pupa 60 days, totaling 120 days in average temperature of 28.8 °C and 59.5% relative humidity. Six instars were confirmed by the Dyar rule, with a growth rate of cephalic capsule K = 1.4 times per ínstar. The results found in the first ínstar chaetotaxy follow the general pattern known for Hemileucinae.

“…Its species are distributed throughout most of the Neotropics, from Nicaragua to Argentina. This genus includes 40 species, of which 21 occur in Brazil, with seven endemic species (Lemaire 2002, Mielke & Moser 2007. For most species there are still no information on the biology and morphology of immature stages (Lemaire 2002).…”

Dirphia dolosa Bouvier, 1929 is an endemic moth from southern Brazil, with available information restricted to occurrence data, natural host plant and adult morphology. This study describes bionomic peculiarities of this species, obtained from observations of larval aggregations in the field and in the laboratory. Data on all developmental stages are presented and compared with those of other Hemileucinae. D. dolosa present a facultative pupal diapause and may have two generations per year under the climatic conditions of the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.
