“…The mean growth rate of D. araucaraiae (i.e. 1.42) is very similar to other Hemileucinae moths [e.g., Automeris Hübner, 1819 (SPECHT et al 2006b(SPECHT et al , 2007b, Hylesia Hübner, 1820 (SPECHT et al 2006a(SPECHT et al , 2007a, Leucanella Lemaire, 1969(SPECHT et al 2009), Molippa Walker, 1855(SPECHT et al 2010 and Periga Walker, 1855 (SPECHT et al 2011)], and was consistent with expectation for Lepidoptera in general (~1.45) (DYAR 1890).…”

“…As observed for most Hemileucinae (e.g. Lemaire, 2002;Specht et al, 2006aSpecht et al, , 2006bSpecht et al, , 2007aSpecht et al, , 2007bSpecht et al, , 2009Specht et al, , 2010, larvae of P. circumstans, particularly in the first instar, have a gregarious habit. For this reason, it was not possible to rear each larva individually to estimate the duration of the instars separately.…”

The goal of the present study was to investigate biological aspects of Periga circumstans Walker, 1855 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Hemileucinae) whose larvae were fed on leaves of khaki-plant (Diospyros khaki Linnaeus -Ebenaceae) and Mate-plant (Ilex paraguariensis Saint Hilaire -Aquifoliaceae) leaves. The biological parameters were obtained from specimens kept under controlled conditions: temperature of 25 ± 1 °C, relative humidity of 70 ± 10%, and photoperiod of 12 hours. For each developmental stage, morphological and ethological parameters are described. The larvae passed through six instars with a growth average rate of 1.4 for each instar. The host plants influenced significantly only the total duration of the larval phase, which was prolonged for larvae fed on khaki-plant leaves. Several aspects related to the morphology and the ethology of P. circumstans are similar to those described for Lonomia obliqua Walker, 1855.Keywords: erucism, life cycle, morphology, medical importance.

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.
