Dunama is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae described by William Schaus in 1912.
Schaus established the genus Dunama in 1912 for a group of small, relatively drab, mottled and tree-bark patterned, brown notodontid moths with a black orbicular spot. Edward L. Todd revised the genus whose distribution extends from Mexico to Amazonian Brazil in 1976. He described two new species and listed two species, D. angulinea and D. tuna from Costa Rica and D. angulinea was reared in Panama for study in 1976. [2] One additional species was recently described by James S. Miller and Paul Thiaucourt from Ecuador in 2011. The genus traditionally has been placed in the Nystaleinae, but that placement remains provisional because species of Dunama lack the characteristic morphological traits of most nystaleines. Additionally, all known caterpillars of Dunama feed on monocots (Musaceae, Marantaceae, Heliconiaceae, Arecaceae), a trait rarely encountered in the Notodontidae. [3]
The genus includes the following species:
Disphragis is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1820. The genus is confined to the New World and it contains about 137 species.
Dunama angulinea is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica, where it is found in the Limon Province. The distribution follows the Caribbean coast and there are no records farther inland.
Dunama jessiehillae is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica, where it is only known from the east slope of the Cordillera Volcanica de Guanacaste and Tilaran, and in the Sarapiqui lowlands, at elevations ranging from 40 to 1,500 meters. Larvae have only been encountered at mid-elevations on the same slopes.
Dunama jessiebarronae is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica, where it is only known from the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Volcanica de Guanacaste, Cordillera Volcanica Central, Cordillera de Talamanca, llanuras de Sarapiqui, and the lowlands of the Caribbean, at elevations ranging from 50 to 1,115 meters.
Dunama janewaldronae is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica, where it is known from the eastern side of the Cordillera Volcanica de Guanacaste at elevations ranging from 400 to 680 meters.
Dunama jessiebancroftae is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica, where it is known from the Peninsula de Nicoya, and the lowland of central Pacific Costa Rica, at elevations ranging from 50 to 1,286 metres.
Dunama janecoxae is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica, where it is known from the Cordillera Volcanica de Guanacaste and the eastern slope of the Cordillera de Tilaran and Talamanca, occurring at elevations ranging from 1,090 to 1,185 meters.
Dunama biosise is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica, where it is known from the Osa Peninsula, Area de Conservacion Osa at elevations ranging from 0 to 100 meters.
Dunama indereci is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica, where it is known from the Villa Blanca, in San Ramon, Alajuela province, at an elevation of 1,115 meters in a montane pass between Costa Rica’s Cordillera de Tilaran and the Volcanica Central.
Dunama tuna is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Colombia.
Dunama mexicana is a moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in Mexico.
Azaxia dyari is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica.
Disphragis sobolis is a moth of the family Notodontidae first described by James S. Miller in 2011. It is found on the eastern slopes of the Andes from Bolivia to Villavicencio in Colombia. The range includes north-eastern Ecuador.
Dognina veltini is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It has been recorded from Costa Rica south to Bolivia. However, genitalia dissections demonstrate that at least five cryptic species are involved.
Disphragis notabilis is a moth of the family Notodontidae first described by William Schaus in 1906. It is found throughout the Amazon basin from western Venezuela east- and southward to at least Bolivia. The range includes French Guiana.
Malocampa piratica is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in Costa Rica. However, a specimen was found in Guatemala.
Meragisa is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae. The genus contains about 45 species, distributed from Mexico south to Bolivia and Brazil.
Urgedra is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae. The genus contains about 20 described species occurring from Colombia south to Bolivia.
Elymiotis tlotzin is a moth in the family Notodontidae first described by William Schaus in 1892. It is found in Costa Rica, where it has been collected in the dry forest ecosystem of Peninsula de Nicoya, and in the dry forests of Sector Santa Rosa and Sector Pailas of at elevations between 0 and 800 meters.
Nystaleinae is a subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae. The subfamily was described by William Trowbridge Merrifield Forbes in 1948.
