A rearing of Harrisinopsis robusta Jordan, 1913 (Zygaenidae: Procridinae) in Suriname is described. A cluster of 30–40 last instar, aposematically colored, larvae was found feeding on Hirtella paniculata (Chrysobalanaceae). Three females eclosed in April 2019 and two males in April-May 2020. The phylogeny of the Monalita-Harrisinopsis species group is shown, the habitus and genitalia of the species figured and the genus Monalita Tremewan, 1973 is synonymized with Harrisinopsis Jordan, 1913. Both sexes of H. robusta are described as are the last instar larvae and cocoon. The biology of the species is discussed.
