Macadamia integrifolia Maiden and Betche (Proteaceae), a New Host Plant Record for Automeris zozine (Druce 1886) from a Cloud Forest at Veracruz State, Mexico

Automeris zozine (Druce) is a silk moth in the family Saturniidae whose larvae typically defoliate plants in the Fagaceae, Fabaceae, and Anacardiaceae families, but little is known about other host plants. We documented the species defoliating Macadamia integrifolia Maiden and Betche (Proteaceae) associated with a plantation of coffee (Coffea spp., Rubiaceae) in a mountainous mesophyll forest at Veracruz, Mexico.
