| description |
The Institute of Natural Sciences of Colombia’s National University, Bogotá is a repository of objects and organisms that are part of the general and natural history of this megadiverse South American country. During a recent curation of moths deposited in the entomology collection of the museum we came across a small group of giant butterfly-moths (Castniidae). These included eleven taxa in three genera, according to a recent taxonomy of this Neotropical family. Most specimens have detailed collecting information, and with some exceptions, they are in good shape and have been well maintained. We provide herein some historical background about the museum as well as general comments on the Castniid taxa under the museum’s care.
