Abstract

Abstract Cercophana frauenfeldii Felder (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), also known as the “Andean Moon Moth”, is a Neotropical species native to continental Chile whose larvae feed on species of the families Gomortegaceae, Laureaceae and Winteraceae. We describe and document C. frauenfeldii immature stages, namely, egg, its four larval instars, and chaetotaxy of the last instar, pupa and cocoon for the first time. In terms of its phenology, we extend its larval activity, originally described to occur between November and mid-December, to June until the end of January. We report the adult flight period depends on the species’ distributional range following two well-differentiated patterns: February to mid-April in Central-North Chile and April to June in Central-South Chile. Furthermore, we provide a unified view of its current distributional range and host plants (including the endangered tree Gomortega keule) through bibliographic data, field observations and laboratory rearing. Finally, we discuss aspects of the species’ conservation as part of the unique ecosystems found in the temperate forests of southern South-America.
安第斯月蛾(Cercophana frauenfeldii Felder)的未成熟期、物候、分布和寄主植物,1862(鳞翅目:月蛾科)
摘要蛇床蛾(鳞翅目:月蛾科),也称为“安第斯月蛾”,是原产于智利大陆的一种新热带物种,其幼虫以蛾科、月桂科和冬科的物种为食。我们首次描述并记录了弗劳恩费尔氏C.frauenfeldii的未成熟阶段,即卵、四龄幼虫以及最后一龄、蛹和茧的毛化。就其表型而言,我们将其幼虫活动(最初描述为发生在11月至12月中旬)延长至6月,直到1月底。我们报告说,成年飞行期取决于物种的分布范围,遵循两种截然不同的模式:智利中北部的2月至4月中旬和智利中南部的4月至6月。此外,我们通过文献资料、实地观察和实验室饲养,对其目前的分布范围和寄主植物(包括濒危树木Gomortega keule)提供了统一的看法。最后,我们讨论了物种保护的各个方面,作为南美洲南部温带森林中独特生态系统的一部分。
