Biology and morphology of Molippa cruenta (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) in the laboratory

Abstract: The goal of this contribution was to study the biology and morphology of all developmental stages of Molippa cruenta (Walker, 1855), a member of Hemileucinae (Saturniidae), endemic to southern Brazil and northeastern Argentina. Daily observations were carried out on individuals reared under controlled temperature (25 ± 1ºC), relative humidity (70 ± 10%) and photophase (14 hours of light). The duration and viability of each developmental phase, as well as morphological and behavioral aspects of each stage, were… Show more

“…In addition, after the behavioural reaction is triggered, the larvae regurgitate a greenish substance and disperse throughout the cage, impairing their ability to return to their original state of aggregation. This aggressive behaviour, followed by dispersion, could be responsible for the low larval viability (Table 2) in comparison with previous reports for A. illustris (91.6 %; Specht et al, 2006a), A. naranja (97.3%) (Specht et al, 2007) and Molippa cruenta (Walker, 1855) (91,6%) (Specht et al, 2010). We strived to interfere as little as possible with the larvae during the maintenance activities, at least until the prepupal period.…”

“…Likewise, the pupae showed reduced viability (Table 2) in comparison with previous reports for A. illustris (98.7%) (Specht et al, 2006a), A. naranja (95.1%) (Specht et al, 2007) and M. cruenta (100%) (Specht et al, 2010), but superior to the viability of L. obliqua (71.4%) (Lorini et al, 2007).…”

“…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).…”
