Lophocampa herbini is a moth in the family Erebidae. It was described by Vincent & Laguerre in 2013. It is found in Bolivia (Santa Cruz, Cochabamba) and Peru (Cuzco).[1]
Description[]
The forewings are brown, irrorated with pale or deep brown. One whitish spot with one yellow and two small black dots are found at the base. There is also a series of bands formed by whitish spots and organized as follows: a broken antemedial band, a slightly curved medial band, and a sinuous postmedial band. The hindwings are whitish and slightly tinged with grey on the apex and along the costa. The ventral pattern is more contrasting, deep brown centered with yellowish-brown.[2]
Etymology[]
The species is named in honor of Daniel Herbin, specialist of Saturniidae.
