Abstract

Six generic and 65 specific names are synonymized, 26 species are transferred to other genera, 30 removed from synonymy or from subspecific status. Blazia Schaus is transferred from Lymantriidae to Limacodidae, Laruma Walker and Renada Walker from Limacodidae to Lasiocampidae and Arctiidae, respectively. Renada is a junior synonym of Paracles Walker. Several previously unrecognized Brazilian taxa described by Walker, for which types are lost, have been identified.
