SUBFAMILY DESCRIPTION
The Subfamily CERATOCAMPINAE is the most
Hawk Moth-like subfamily of the Emperor moths, with long, relatively thin
wings and stout bodies in proportion to their wing size.
BELIZE SPECIES
Meerman (1999) lists 18 species of Ceratocampinae from Belize in his
comprehensive catalogue of species found in Belize to date. With his kind permission I
list all of these species here and illustrate from other sources any species not
in my collection. Please click on any underlined species names to go to a colour
illustration of the adult
(and sometimes its genitalia) where available, and brief information on
the species.
