Abstract:

"Two Hemileucinae (Saturniidae) species from southeastern Brazil are described as new. One Periphoba Hübner, [1820] species from southwestern Minas Gerais: Periphoba campisi sp. n., differing from the most similar species, P. hircia (Cramer, 1775), mainly by the male wing shape, ornamentation, and male genitalia, and one Catacantha Bouvier, 1930 species from eastern São Paulo State: Catacantha zemaria sp. n., differing from the most similar species, C. ferruginea (Draudt, 1929) as well mainly by the male wing shape, ornamentation, and male genitalia. The male holotypes of both newly described species are deposited in the Entomological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil."
