Arctiinae moths (Lepidoptera, Erebidae) of the Emas National Park, Goiás, Brazil

A comprehensive survey of Arctiinae moths in Emas National Park, Brazil, revealed 149 species, with 67% being new records for the park, 31% for the state of Goiás, and 9% for the Cerrado biome. The study, conducted over three years across four vegetation types, highlighted semideciduous forests and Cerrado sensu stricto as hotspots for species richness, with the former hosting the highest number of exclusive species. These findings underscore Emas National Park's significance as a biodiversity center for Arctiinae moths, emphasizing the need for conservation efforts to protect surrounding areas and establish ecological corridors.
