Abstract

An illustrated and annotated catalogue is presented of 156 species of Notodontidae confirmed to occur in Trinidad & Tobago.
Of these, 61 are new records for Trinidad. Four additional records are considered questionable, needing confirmation. Images of 67 species of living adults and three species of caterpillars are included. Very little has been recorded regarding food plants and early stages of Notodontidae in Trinidad, but what is known is reported.
