Abstract

A lectotype from the Calkoen collection in Naturalis Biodiversity Center, The Netherlands, is designated for Histioea cepheus cepheus (Erebidae: Arctiinae) and the life history is described from the Brownsberg Nature Reserve, Suriname. A cluster of 26 eggs was observed on Olyra latifolia (Poaceae). The first instar larvae moved off the plant and were reared on Mikania cf. micrantha (Asteraceae). Dense A1 and A7 setal tufts, such as previously found in last instar Holophaea vesta, are present in H. c. cepheus from the fourth instar onwards.
