Abdomen above entirely black with bright blue intersegmental lines, difficult to see on dried specimens Forewing length 21 – 24 mm (n = 13). Forewings transparent and entirely bordered by a thin black line (around 0.3 mm) with a small indentation on vein CuA 2. Base of the wings largely black. Black line at the end of the cell reaching the costa. Hindwings reduced, entirely transparent, with termen bordered with a thin black line.

014B8784FF83FFA6FF31FC68FEE1F947.taxon	distribution	Distribution and biology. As far as is known, H. gigantea is distributed from Guatemala to Costa Rica, generally at high altitude in very humid biotopes. It is not presently known from Nicaragua possibly because collecting at high altitude is difficult due to the topography of the country. The biology is unknown.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF83FFA6FF31FC68FEE1F947.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Specimens from Guatemala and Honduras exhibit wider black wing borders compared to Costa Rican specimens, but the genitalia are similar. DNA barcode divergence between H. gigantea and H. georginas samples is approximately 3.8 %.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF84FFA4FF31FF3BFDC4FCD7.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name is a reference to the type locality: Fuentes Georginas, a popular spot with hot springs high in the mountains on the Pacific slope.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF84FFA4FF31FF3BFDC4FCD7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Similar to gigantea but less robust species with a yellow cast on forewings and very characteristic deep crimson red legs. By comparison H. gigantea is a larger and more robust species well characterized by the wider black margin of the fore- and hindwings. There is no yellowish cast on the forewings, the black indentation in space 2 of the hindwings is more pronounced, the abdomen upperside has a bluish hue with blue intersegmental lines (very difficult to see on dried specimens), the tip on the antennae below are not white, palpi are red not black. In H. gigantea, the uncus is shorter and wider, the lateral protuberances are longer, wider and rounded (tapered in georginas) in lateral view, cylindrical in ventral view. The valvae are asymmetrical, the left one being slightly longer than the right one which reaches the base of uncus. The tegumen is a little wider, the concavity more pronounced and always without saccus. In the aedeagus, the ventral process is less than half the length of the upper process (greater than half in georginas), narrower but more sclerotized (almost black), and the apex of the ventral process is abruptly cut, not tapered as in georginas.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF84FFA4FF31FF3BFDC4FCD7.taxon	description	Description. Female unknown. Head, collar, tegulae, thorax and antennae deep black. Abdomen above entirely black with yellow intersegmental lines, difficult to see on dried specimens. Forewing length 18 – 20 mm (n = 10). Forewings transparent with a slight yellowish cast and entirely bordered by a thin black line (about 0.5 mm) with a small indentation on vein CuA 2. Base of the wings largely black. Black subrectangular spot at the end of the cell reaching the costa. Hindwings reduced, entirely transparent, with termen bordered with a thin black line but without the yellowish cast. Border wider along anal angle and with a small indentation just above the anal angle. The immediate basal area black. The underside is almost identical to the upperside, except the tip of the antennae which is white, palpi are entirely black, there is a milky white iridescence just inside the anal border on the hindwings and all legs are deep crimson red except the claws which are dark-brown. Male Genitalia (Fig. 3 g – i): Uncus long, pointed and curved downward, like a bird beak with a protuberance on each side. In lateral view these protuberances are very slender with a total length less than half the length of uncus. In ventral view, these protuberances have a rounded and almost cylindrical appearance. Valvae are symmetrical slighly curved inward and slightly spatulate at tip, reaching the middle of uncus. Tegumen slightly concave and without saccus. Adaegus very characteristic, divided into two distinct parts: an upper one, long, thin, slightly curved upwards and bearing a small smooth vesica and a lower part slightly longer than half the upper one, wider and strongly sclerotized, corrugated and with a bevelled extremity.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF84FFA4FF31FF3BFDC4FCD7.taxon	distribution	Distribution and biology. For the moment, known only for a restricted area in Guatemala, on the Pacific slope, at high altitude. Biology is unknown.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF84FFA4FF31FF3BFDC4FCD7.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Although sample size of barcoded specimens is small, the relatively large genetic divergence between gigantea and georginas, at about 3.8 %, fully support the recognition of these taxa as separate species.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF87FFA5FF31FCFBFCFCFCD7.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name is a reference to the type locality, Concepcion Papalo, a small city in north east Oaxaca state. The name Papalo means butterfly.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF87FFA5FF31FCFBFCFCFCD7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Similar to gigantea but a less robust species with elongated forewings and orange red legs. H. papalo sp. n. is intermediate in size between gigantea and georginas, but the forewings are obviously narrower and elongated. There is no yellowish cast on the forewings as in georginas, however the underside tip of antennae is white as in georginas. Palpi and legs are orange not deep crimson red as in georginas and gigantea. The genitalia of H. papalo are also very distinct from the two other species. Here, the lateral protuberances of the uncus have a very different shape, the symmetrical valvae are very short, not reaching the base of uncus. The adaegus has two long lobes of similar length, whereas the lobes are very obviously of different lengths in gigantea and georginas.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).

014B8784FF87FFA5FF31FCFBFCFCFCD7.taxon	description	Description. Female unknown. Head, collar, tegulae, thorax and antennae deep black. The collar displays a metallic bright blue cast. Abdomen deep black upperside with bright line at the end of segments. Forewing length 20 – 21 mm (n = 2). Forewings elongated, transparent, entirely bordered by a black line wider than in H. georginas sp. n. specially at apex where it is enlarged and presence of a small indentation on vein CuA 2. Base of wings is largely black, the subrectangular cellular spot at the end of the cell is large and conspicuous. Hindwings transparent, black border wide except on costa with an indentation on vein CuA 2. The extreme base black. Underside similar to upperside, tip of the antennae white, palpi and legs orange. A milky white iridescence just inside the anal border on the hindwings. Male Genitalia (Fig. 3 j – l). Uncus conical, stout and pointed, with a protuberance on each side. In lateral view these protuberances are very slender with a total length exceeding half the length of uncus. In ventral view, these protuberances are semi-circular not unlike “ ears ”. Valvae are symmetrical, slighly curved inward and spatulate at tip, not reaching the base of uncus. Tegumen rounded and without saccus. Adaegus very characteristic, divided into two distinct parts: a dorsal long, thin, rectilinear process with the apex slightly curved downward and bearing a small smooth vesica and a ventral thin, pointed process reaching about ¾ length of the dorsal one.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2010): Description of two new Homoeocera Felder from Guatemala and Mexico (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini).
