This list is updated twice a year. It contains all morphospecies for which we have at least a genus assigned as well as all current host plant data and the sample size for the putative host plant affiliations. Please note that not all of these species have web pages or images, also many of our species web pages have only common names. The best host plant information and other rearing data can be found on the individual species pages (not here). For simplicity, plant and caterpillar families are omitted here (but not on the individual web pages). For more information on any of these species, please contact Lee Dyer: ldyer@tulane.edu

At the bottom of this list is a link to a page with a long list of common names of caterpillars for which we have not yet assigned a genus.
