Male genitalia (Figures 2 A-C) with distal margin of eight sternum bifid and sclerotized; elongated uncus, with rounded distal margin, with three strongly sclerotized projections. Valvae symmetrical, elongated, sub-rectangular, with a spiniform structure in the medial region of the inner surface. Juxta with two long falciform projections, strongly sclerotized. Anterior projection of the saccus wider than the length. Aedeagus cylindrical. Vesica membranous with cornutus is an elongated and strongly sclerotized spine. Female genitalia (Figure 2D) with papilla analis elongated dorsoventrally. Lamella antevaginalis wide, medially deeply notched with slightly serrated anterior margin; lamella postvaginalis narrower, represented by wide subtriangular sclerotization. Ductus bursae, a voluminous membranous pouch, fused dorsally to the lamella antevaginalis. Corpus bursae ovoid. Ductus seminalis arises from the left side of the anterior margin of ductus bursae. Anterior apophysis about one-third the length of posterior apophysis.</p><p>Biology. According to LEMAIRE (2002), only the first instar is known.</p><p>Distribution. Venezuela (Bolívar), French (Loreto), and Brazil (Amazonas) (Figure 3).</p><p>Guyana, Peru</p><p>Flight period. Based on specimens label, this species flies in March, April, May, August, September, October, November,</p><p>and December.</p><p>Remark. Most of the specimens were collected in light sources and in the primary forests, whose phytophysiognomy is evidenced by the classes of vegetation formations covered by a Dense Tropical Forest.</p><p>The occurrence of L. camox in Brazil was expected, considering that all its records were for the Amazon biome (e.g., LEMAIRE 1971, 1972; RACHELI &amp; CALLEGARI 1996; BÉNÉLUZ 2021). The relevance of this information contributes considerably to the knowledge of Amazonian biodiversity and the mapping of this species for future studies in the medical field.</p><p>Even though there are no available records of medical accidents for L. camox, it cannot be said that it has no medical importance, as the studies are scarce, and many cases may not have been reported. Furthermore, for many species of Lonomia, the immature stages are still unknown.</p><p>Material examined.
