| Title: | Arsenura and Titaea (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Arsenurinae): new records for the Cerrado of Northeast Brazil |

| Abstract: | The Northeast region occupies 18.27% of the Brazilian territory with phytophysiognomies of the Amazon Forest, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado and Caatinga (exclusive to this region) biomes (Santos et al., 2020). About 46% of the native area of the Cerrado, one of the main biodiversity hotspots in the world, are converted to pasture or agricultural crops (Hofmann et al., 2021). The area protected of the Cerrado is only 2.2%, increasing the risk of species extinction, including those endemics to this biome (Ferro et al., 2010). Arsenura and Titaea (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Arsenurinae) are exclusively Neotropical with 35 species described (Furtado, 1999; Camargo et al., 2011; Brechlin and Meister, 2013). Three species of the genus Arsenura (Camargo and Becker, 1999; Miranda et al., 2015; Brechlin and Meister, 2013) and three of Titaea (Lemaire, 1980; Camargo and Becker, 1999; Câmara et al., 2011) are reported for the Northeast region of Brazil. Two species of Arsenura and two of Titaea are reported for Maranhão state, Brazil (Câmara et al., 2011; Camargo and Becker, 1999; Brechlin and Meister, 2013). The number of species of these genera may be higher in this state, due to its size (2nd largest state in the northeast region) and its proximity to the Amazon biome, where more species are found. The objective was to report new records of moth species of the Arsenura and Titaea genera for the Maranhão state and the northeast region of Brazil in the Cerrado biome. |
