Description:	Viticulture has been expanded to different producing regions of Brazil. Grape producers in the southeastern and southern regions of Brazil have consistently reported the incidence of a caterpillar damaging the trunk and branches of vine plants. Larvae were reared in the laboratory, and the species Roseala tessellatus (Herrich-Schäffer, [1854]) (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) was subsequently identified as responsible for the damage. This study presents information on the geographic distribution of this pest species in Brazil, the damage caused to vine plants, and images of the main development phases, suggesting management methods. Additionally, references and genetic sequences that could be used for molecular identification of the different stages of insect development are indicated.
