Abstract

CORRALES, Jorge F.  and  EPSTEIN, Marc E.. Revision of the Natada fusca complex and description of six new Neotropical species (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae). Rev. biol. trop [online]. 2003, vol.51, n.2, pp.445-462. ISSN 0034-7744.

Six new species in the genus Natada, which have been hidden under Natada fusca Druce, are described and defined primarily by genitalia. New species include N. burnsi, N. truncata, N. singulara, N. chaconi, N. covelli, and N. confusa. Five of eight species in the Natada fusca complex, which also includes N. fuscodivisa Dognin, occur in Costa Rica. Distribution of the complex ranges from Mexico to the upper Amazon Basin and Guianas. Detailed geographic information and multiple genitalic drawings of males of one species, N. confusa, are provided to help define and separate species. The lectotype and paralectotype of N. fusca are designated.

Keywords : Limacodidae; Natada fusca complex; Natada; Costa Rica; larval host plants; defoliation.
