The Dalceridae are a small family of zygaenoid moths with some 80[verification needed known species encompassing about one dozen genera mostly found in the Neotropical region with a few reaching the far south of the Nearctic region.
These are generally small or medium-sized moths with very hairy bodies. The larvae are rather slug -like and, along with the larvae of the sister taxa Limacodidae and Megalopygidae , are often known as slug caterpillars . More specifically, they are also called jewel caterpillars due to the colorful bead-like gelatinous mass covering the exoskeleton of many species.
Female Dalceridae have "accessory glands" that apply a rapidly drying liquid to the eggs.[1] [1]

Taxonomy and systematics
[ edit ]
More than half the described species are in genus Acraga . Apart from this and Dalcerides , all genera have less than 10 known species as of 2016, and some are monotypic . Two subfamilies are usually recognized:
Subfamily Acraginae
Subfamily Dalcerinae
The genus Protacraga Epipyropidae whose caterpillars are usually parasites .
