CABRERIZO, Silvia; SPERA, Marina e DE ROODT, Adolfo. Accidents due to Lepidoptera: Hylesia nigricans (Berg, 1875) or "mariposa negra". Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2014, vol.112, n.2, pp.179-182. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2014.179.
Lepidoptera (butterflies, caterpillars and moths) biologic features make possible the contact between different instars and humans. The moth Hylesia nigricans is responsible for epidemic outbreaks in our country. It is called erucism when the contact is with caterpillars and lepidopterism when the contact is with moths. We perform an update of these important medical lepidopters.
