TL;DR: Several evidences suggest that Tolype ventriosa is an univoltine species, specially due to the fact that adults occurs only in the summer and begining of fall, overwinters as a diapausing eggs and the urticant ability of caterpillars and cocoons are detected.
Abstract: Este estudo objetivou contribuir com alguns aspectos biologicos de Tolype ventriosa Draudt, 1927. Os insetos foram criados em sala climatizada com temperatura de 25 ± 1oC, umidade relativa de 70 ± 20% e 14 horas de fotofase, sendo as lagartas alimentadas com aroeira vermelha ( Schinus terebenthifolius Raddi – Anacardiaceae). As duracoes medias, em dias, das fases de desenvolvimento foram de 65,2 para ovos, de 162,6 para lagartas, 58,5 para pupas e 6,8 para adultos. Varios fatores indicam tratar-se de uma especie univoltina, especialmente devido aos adultos, em ambiente natural, terem sido coletados apenas nos meses do verao e inicio de outono, passando o inverno na fase de ovo. O contato com lagartas e casulos provocou efeito urticante em pessoas que manipularam a criacao. Palavras-chave: Biologia, erucismo, importância medica, Lasiocampidae, Lepidoptera. ABSTRACT Biological aspects of Tolype ventriosa (Lepidoptera, Lasiocampidae) in laboratory
The objective of this work was to observe some biological aspects of Tolype ventriosa Draudt, 1927. The insects were reared in an acclimated room under 25 ± 1° C, 70 ± 20% UR and photofase of 14 h. The caterpillars were fed with brazilian pepper-tree ( Schinus terebenthifolius Raddi – Anacardiaceae). The average incubation period of the eggs was 65,2 days, the caterpillar and pupae
periods lasted 162,6 and 58,5 days, respectively, and the mean adult longevity was 6,8 days. Several evidences suggest that it is an univoltine species, specially due to the fact that adults, in the nature, occurs only in the summer and begining of fall, overwinters as a diapausing eggs. The urticant ability of caterpillars and cocoons are also detected. Key words: Biology, Lasiocampidae, Lepidoptera.

TL;DR: The Lepidoptera fauna at White Sands National Monument or Carlsbad Caverns National Park, both in the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico, before 2006 were little known, but moths recorded from New Mexico for the first time represent significant range extensions.
Abstract: . Little was known about the Lepidoptera fauna at White Sands National Monument or Carlsbad Caverns National Park, both in the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico, before 2006 when the National Park Service initiated studies of the Lepidoptera, especially moths. Many species of moths were captured in black-light traps. Cisthene perrosea (Dyar) (Erebidae), Schinia intrebilis (Smith) (Noctuidae), and Tolype meyelisae Franclemont (Lasiocampidae), recorded from New Mexico for the first time, represent significant range extensions.
