About Therinia lactucina Cramer, 1780
Therinia lactucina is a moth species belonging to the family Saturniidae and the genus Therinia. It was first described by Pieter Cramer in 1780. Two female specimens of this species are held in the Natural History Museum, London. While these specimens were previously reported to have been collected by Spencer Moore in Paraguay, this record is incorrect; the specimens were actually collected in Brazil during the 1891–1892 Percy Sladen Mato Grosso Expedition. A subspecies of this moth, T. lactucina lactandensis, was described by Brechlin and Meister in 2014.
