Automeris louisiana (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) populations in the chenier plain habitat of coastal Texas, with new distributional and larval host plant records

Robert J. Nuelle, Jr. Aicezs, Kelsey Kralman, Robert J. Nuelle, III and Matthew Whitbeck

Evidence for a viable Texas population of Automeris louisiana, using historical collection records, and biogeographical analysis are presented. Results include new distributional records for the species and the first analysis to show it possibly endemic to Texas coast chenier plain marshes. A new larval hostplant Bolboschoenus robustus is identified in this study.
