An exceedingly variable species. The examples selected 
for my series range in colour from pale brown, through 
ochreous and reddish brown, to “rusty orange”; there 
are also specimens which are olivaceous in colour, while 
others are fuliginous-brown. There is some variation in 
marking, but, as I mentioned in my remarks on the 
species (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1888, pp. 633, 634), in no 
case is the aberration sufficient to justify separation of the 
specimen or specimens exhibiting it from A. pernyi. The 
“double submarginal line” referred to by Moore (J. ¢.) is 
not an uncommon character in this species.

8. Antherva hartit. 
Antherxa hartw, Moore, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., (6) 
ix, p. 450 (1892). 
This distinct species was described from Newchwang, 
N. China. 
Moore states that the natives rear the larva in a semi- 
domesticated state on oak trees, and that there are two 
broods in the year. 
Hab, NORTH CHINA.

9. Saturnia biett. 
Saturnia breti, Oberth., Etud. d’Entom., xi, p. 31, pl. vii, 
"fig, 58 (1886). 
Oberthiir’s type was from Western China, but the 
exact locality is not given. It appears to be most nearly 
allied to S. dindia, Moore from Kulu and Kashinir. 
I received a male specimen taken in a locality to the 
north of Ta-chien-lu. In this example the coloration is 
darker and the markings more pronounced than in 
Oberthiir’s figure of the type; further, the apices are not 
tinged with pink. 
Hab. WESTERN CHINA.
