PRADA LARA, Liliana; AMARILLO-SUAREZ, Ángela R. and FAGUA, Giovanny. Podalia orsilochus (Lepidoptera: Megalopygidae): Confirmation of its presence in Colombia, and first record in Chocó.

We made moth collections in the Utria National Natural Park, Chocó, during in 2017, using a light trap, and collected five males of Podalia orsilochus, representing the first record of this species for the department of Chocó, and the first specific location for Colombia. The records of the species were complemented with identification of photographed specimens, which confirmed records from the departments of Antioquia, Caldas, Huila, Quindío, Santander, and Valle del Cauca.
