Of N. mcnippe fWcstw.) I havo a series from Taveta, Clpiitral East Africa, 

 which are smoky brown all over instead of dull crimson ; this form I projjose to 

 name N. menippefumosa snbsp. nov.

ANTHERAEA. 



Here Anthcrnen rump/ii Feld. sinks as a synonym of A. paphia (Linn.). 

 Linn6's type is in the Museum at Upsala ; it is a male from Amboyna, and agrees 

 with riimphi Feld., which is based on a female specimen. The synonymy of this 

 species is therefore as follows : — 



Antheraea papliia (Linn.). 

 S. jana (.Stoll.). 

 ? . rinn]dii Feld. 



x\. roylei Moore is only a subspecies of A. permji ((iuer.), and ^4. confacl and 

 »herrHlci of Moore are mere aberrations of A. ro>jlei, every intermediate being 

 known. A. eingah'sa, Moore is only an aberration of .4. mylitta (I)rnry). A. 

 i^ergciilus (Westw.), A. morosa Butl., -4. kazina Butl., A. fentoni Butl., and A. 

 calida Butl. are all colour varieties of A. yumamai (Gudr.), but I cannot do otherwise 

 than treat them as synonyms only oi A. yamamai,hw,&\\%<i in this species no two 

 specimens are exactly alike, either in colour or nnxrking, and if these names wore 

 allowed to stand as aberrations we should have to name every specimen.
