The Arctiini tribe comprises a diverse taxonomic group, relatively well represented in Brazil.
In addition, they are among the main Lepidoptera used as bioindicators in monitoring natural
ecosystems. Currently, Arctiini encompasses the current subtribes: Arctiina, Ctenuchina,
Euchromiina, Callimorphina, Phaegopterina, Pericopina and Spilosomina. The Phaegopterina
subtribe includes about 151 genera distributed in 1,720 species for the Neotropical region. The
Phaegopterina moths includes approximately 750 species registered in Brazil, for the Cerrado
254 species are registered and for the Amazon 469. In the present study I present an inventory
with an annotated list of Phaegopterina species and distribution recorded for Maranhão. The
material examined comes from two biological collections: the Maranhão Zoological Collection
(CZMA), and the Victor O. Becker Collection (VOB), from collections in 10 municipalities in
Maranhão. After analyzing the material in this study, I have a list of 116 species of
Phaegopterina, distributed in 57 genera for Maranhão, with 25 species being new records.
Updating the number of Phaegopterina records for Maranhão, after this study, I totaled 116
Phaegopterina species recorded for the state. Ongoing inventory efforts for Arctinae in
Maranhão will contribute to an increase and understanding of the diversity of Lepidoptera in
the Cerrado and Amazon facilitating future work on spatial ecology and species identification,
which can help in the conservation of Phaegopterina.
