Family Lasiocampidae

Nomenclature follows Becker and Heppner (1996).

Euglyphis albiochrea ( Kaye, 1923)

My identification is based on Kaye’s (1923) illustration and two named males in Sir Norman Lamont’s collection (UWIZM). The type is in NMSE ( Bland 2010).

Tobago: ♂ (rubbed) (E. Bourke) [OUNHM]

Euglyphis intuta (Dognin, 1916) ( Figures 9–10 )

The single Tobago specimen is a female, which I was unable to associate with the species known from males in Trinidad. This identification was made by V.O. Becker (pers. comm. 2017).

Charlotteville, Flagstaff Hill, larvae collected 4 Jul 2016, on unidentified plant: ♀ (M.G. Rutherford) [UWIZM.2016.33.15] ( Figures 9–10 )

Titya hirta (Stoll, 1782)

Identified by comparison with the NHMUK series (♀ apart from 1♂ which may not match). Englishman’s Bay, at light: ♀ Jun–Dec 2009 (J. Ingraham) [UWIZM.2015.15.1]
