Lophocampa secunda

Lophocampa secunda is a moth of the Arctiidae family. It was described by Walter Rothschild in 1909 under the name fasciata. It is found in Brazil and on Cuba.

Wingspan is 28 mm.

Taxonomy

Since L. fasciata is preoccupied by Euhalisidota fasciata, described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1867, Lophocampa secunda was proposed by BenoƮt Vincent in 2009 as the replacement name.
