Conteúdo: | The Saturniidae moths are representd in the Cerrado region of Central Brazil by 167 species (Camargo & Becker 1999; 696). Two of these , one belonging to Cicia Oiticica,1964, and the other to Dysdaemonia Hubner, [1819], are undescribed (Camargo & Becker 1999: 696). A third undescribed species, belonging to Rheseyntis Hubner, [1819], has been formerly mistaken for R. hippodamia (Cramer, 1777). These new species are described below. Their holotypes, and part of the paratypes, are deposited in the collection of the first author ((VOB), other paratypes in the collection of the Centro de Pesquisa Agropecuaria dos Cerrados (CPAC), Planaltina, Distrito Federal. Also, it was found that the series of speciments, included in the article mentioned above as Molippa sabina (Walker, 1855), in reality represents two sibling species, this and M. flavocrinata Mabilde, 1896 [= M. simillima jones, 1907], two species that are safely distinguished only by characters of genitalia (Jones 1907: 181). With the addition of these two species to the list, the Saturniidae include 168 species for the Cerrado region.
