Resumen

The genus Tamphana Schaus, 1892 is revised. The transfer of Tamphana from Bombycidae to Apatelodidae is confirmed. The study, based on examination of habitus, genitalia, and barcoding, leads to the separation of the various species currently placed within Tamphana into two distinct genera. Examination of genitalia of specimens supposedly belonging to the species T. marmorea Schaus, 1892 revealed strikingly different characters leading to description of nine new species: T. awa n. sp. from Maranhão, Brazil, T. ampliata n. sp. from Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela and Ecuador, T. picobonitensis n. sp. from Honduras and Costa Rica, T. furtadoi n. sp. from Mato Grosso, Brazil, T. lauriei n. sp. from Belize, T. lucifer n. sp. from French Guiana, T. paranensis n. sp. from Brazil (Minas Gerais and Paraná), T. tikuna n. sp. from Colombia, Peru and Brazil (Amazonas), T. tripertita n. sp. from French Guiana. The adults and genitalia of all the new species are figured. A lectotype for Tamphana marmorea is here designated and figured. In the genus Tuyvae Orlandin, Piovesan & Carneiro, 2024, recently published, to the two already described species: Tuyvae maoma (Schaus, 1920) and Tuyvae orion (Dognin, 1916), two additional new species are described: Tuyvae douglasboyesi n. sp. from Colombia and Tuyvae carabaya n. sp. from Peru. A lectotype for Tuyvae orion is here designated and figured.
