Name

Epia domina (Cramer, [1780])

Type locality: Surinam.

Holotype: Male (?) figured in plate 304 (fig. B) of vol. 4. No physical holotype found.

Note: Caterpillar figured in plate 24 (figs 1A,1B) of supplement: BHL with corresponding text pages 116/117 BHL. But this does not correspond to what we know of Epiinae caterpillars (should be a caterpillar with no hair).

original combination

Phalaena domina Cramer, [1780]
