Abstract: Larvae of the subfamily Hemileucinae possess urticating bristles capable of inducing stinging in humans. The objective of this report was to describe Solanum lycocarpum Saint Hilaire (Solanaceae) as a natural host of Leucanella memusae (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Hemileucinae) larvae in Brazilian mountain grasslands. Individuals of L. memusae complete their life cycle feeding on leaves of S. lycocarpum, and have the potential to migrate to agricultural crops in the region of Diamantina, Minas Gerais State.
Abstract: Lagartas da subfamilia Hemileucinae apresentam cerdas na superfície do corpo capazes de produzir e inocular substâncias de ação urticante. O objetivo foi descrever Solanum lycocarpum Saint Hilaire (Solanaceae) como hospedeiro natural de lagartas de Leucanella memusae (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Hemileucinae) em campo rupestre brasileiro. Indivíduos de L. memusae completaram o ciclo biológico alimentando se de folhas de S. lycocarpum e têm potencial para migrar para culturas agrícolas na região de Diamantina, Estado de Minas Gerais.
