Therinia lactucina is a species of moth in the family Saturniidae and the genus Therinia. It was first discovered by Pieter Cramer in 1780.[1]
There are, as of writing, two female specimens in the Natural History Museum, London. They were reportedly collected by a Mr. Spencer Moore, in Paraguay, however this is false, and they were collected during the Percy Sladen Mato Grosso Expedition (1891-1892), in Brazil.[2] Two Oxytenis moths were found in Paraguay in 2014, but the species was not listed.
