    I think the genus name may have changed to Hypercompe. Posted 2 months ago, modified 2 months ago

    Turns out there is a Hypercompe theophila described by Dognin in 1902: Hétérocères nouveaux de l’Amérique du Sud, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 46 but I can't locate that document. However I've changed the title. Posted 2 months ago
