Lobeza Herrich-Schäffer, 1854 is a poorly known genus
with about 30 Neotropical species, occurring from Costa Rica
to southeast Brazil. Besides the generic and species descriptions,
Lobeza has been briefly treated in only two works. SPITZ (1931)
described the morphology and behavior of the larva of Lobeza
dentilinea Schaus, 1901, and GODFREY et al. (1989) studied the
larval mouthparts of Lobeza suprema Schaus, 1894. Like many
other genera of notodontids, Lobeza is not yet undoubtedly
assigned to an available subfamilial name (GAEDE 1934). The
genus is thought to be part of Heterocampinae as recognized
in some well curated collections from the neotropics. However,
with the lack of morphological or biological evidence this
hypothesis remains controversial.
