Abstract
- Dryocampa kendallin. sp.—a diminutive North American saturniid—is described from buckeye-rich bottomlands of the Hill Country of Texas. Adults have subdued yellow and pink maculation and often a dusky aspect that distinguishes them from their eastern sister species D. rubicunda. While the new species COI barcode differs from that of D. rubicunda by only 1.3%, the adult, larva, and hostplant association differ from those of D. rubicunda. The adult, eggs, larva, and genitalia of the new species are illustrated and its life history briefly characterized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
