Periphoba

 

The 25 members of the Periphoba genus all occur in Central and South America. Most of them are fairly large for members of the Hemileucinae subfamily. Correctly identifying the species can be challenging. Many look very similar. Exact data can help to narrow it down.

The caterpillars of most species look almost the same, with only subtle differences. Periphoba are, in general, easy to rear and fairly polyphage.
