The genus Ernassa Walker currently consists of five species: Ernassa justina (Stoll), E. sanguinolenta (Cramer), E. ignata Travassos, E. gabrielae Travassos, and E. cruenta (Rothschild). For about 40 years, the genus has been treated with these
species. However, a large series of specimens and the study of the characters of the male genitalia, make...
Crastolliana n. gen. (Apatelodidae) is described as new, with Crastolliana nina (Stoll, [1780]) n. comb. as its type species. Investigation of specimens from various geographical localities revealed numerous cryptic species resulting in the recognition of the following new species: C. belyiorum n. sp., C. bonillai n. sp., C. caucensis n. sp., C. gi...
Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie, Ochrodota camposorum Grados, sp. nov. del Santuario Histórico de Machu Picchu. Se presentan las diferencias con Ochrodota marina Schaus, 1910 especie que presenta similar habitus y que ocurre en Centroamérica.

Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) show impressive environmental adaptation, having high dexterity and flexibility. To design robots that mimic these abilities, a novel bioinspired robotic design (BIROD) method is presented. The method is composed by an algorithm for geometrical kinematic analysis (GEKINS) to standardize the proportional dimens...
Introducción El dimorfismo sexual se ha observado en muchos taxones del reino animal: mamíferos, aves, anfibios, insectos (Ralls 1977; Parker 1992; Owen y Hartley 1998; Stillwell et al. 2010; Bell y Zamudio 2012). En el orden Lepidoptera, algunas de las especies de la familia Psychidae quizás sean las que presentan mayor dimorfismo sexual, las hemb...
The genus Epanycles Butler (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Ctenuchina) has been considered as monotypical for 145 years, including only Epanycles imperialis (Walker). Herein, we propose a new combination: E. satania new. comb. based on external morphology, genital morphology of males and females, morphological phylogeny, DNA barcoding, and geogr...
A new species Rhodorhipha dalyi sp. nov. from Peru (Tambopata river, Madre de Dios, Peru) is described and illustrated. The species is part of a complex of similar species related to R. subflammans (Rothschild).

Polylepis forests are home to endemic species and are of great ecological importance. The degradation of these forests, a remarkable and unique biome in the Andean region, might cause severe consequences for the yet poorly studied high-altitude biota. In the context of Global Climate Change and other anthropogenic impacts, such as habitat loss and...
We explored the concentration patterns of the bioactive metabolite plumericin produced by Himatanthus tarapotensis (Apocynaceae) under different edaphic conditions and variations in rainfall intensity, as well as its potential role in the chemical defense against insect herbivores. Values of plumericin concentration from leaves were obtained by Hig...

Ten caterpillars were col...
The genus Episcepsis Butler, 1877 is widely distributed in the Neotropical region and currently includes 43 valid species many of them described solely based on external morphology.

Por primera vez se da a conocer la hembra de A. cellularis. Se revalida la especie Magnoptera watsoni, que fue sinonímizada hace pocos años con Amastus walkeri. Se recolectó durante el...
Presently, the Neotropical genus Parascepsis Dognin, 1923 is considered monotypic within the Ctenuchina. There are no reviews of a large part of the genera in this subtribe or an approximation to its phylogeny. The material worked with is deposited at the Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (MUSM), and was compared w...
A series of different-looking tiger moths was collected at pyrrolizidine alkaloid baits in the daytime in Peru. They proved to be variants of a new genus, Vanewrightia gen. nov., and a new species, Vanewrightia kiesela sp. nov., both described here. This species presents a striking example of extensive intraspecific variation within a population. I...

This study presents a catalogue w...
A new species of the genus Watsonidia Toulgoët, from the Amazon region of Peru, is described, with two morphotypes.
