The first one is closest to Automeris melanops which is known from southeastern Brazil, and might be found in northeastern Argentina, but I have seen no confirmation of that range extension. Are you sure it is from Dos de Mayo, Argentina?
I wish permission to post it to WLSS, credited to you (please send me a private message or email with full name), as Automeris melanops.
I will have a closer look at the other one shortly.
I just checked the Entomo-Satsphingia and see that Automeris paramelanops was described in 2011 from Caaguazú, Paraguay.
Automeris paramelanops is a slightly better match by location and appearance for your moth.
The second one is probably Automeris naranja
