This note reports the first record of Gorgonidia vulcania Toulgoët, 1987 and G. whitfordi (Rothschild, 1909) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae) in Brazil. The specimens were found in the Tapajós National Forest, Pará state, Eastern Amazon. The distribution of G. vulcania is enlarged 870 km south of its type locality; and the distribution of G. whitfordi is enlarged 820 km south of the nearest previously known record for the species.
