Abstract
The giant Crambid moth Myelobia smerintha (Hübner, 1821) is a distinctive species that is widespread in the Neotropics, but has apparently never been reported previously for Paraguay. Specimens and a photograph record from Itapúa department are documented here to confirm the presence of the species in the country. El Crambido gigante Myelobia smerintha (Hübner, 1821) es una especie muy distintiva y con distribución amplia en la región Neotropical, pero aparentemente nunca antes ha sido reportado en Paraguay. Se confirma su presencia en el país con ejemplares y un registro fotográfico del departamento Itapúa.
