The antennze of the females (I have seen no male) are 26-jointed, 
each joint after the second producing only a pair of rays, arising close 
to the base of the joint. The palpi are also as long as the head and 
deflexed, with the terminal joint long and pendulous. In these re- 
spects it will be necessary to separate this insect at least subgene- 
rically from the other Saturnie ; it may therefore be advisable to use 
Hibner’s subgeneric name Eudemonia for it.

The antennz of the male are rather small, with only 34 rays on 
each side, thirteen of the apical joints being destitute of rays. The 
palpi are small and distinct, rather dependent, but not extending be- 
youd the hairs of the face.

The palpi are distinct and slender, but do not extend beyond the 
hairs of the clypeus. The antenne of the males have 54 rays on 
each side, the two basal rays of each joint converging inwardly and 
being bent more obliquely, so that the tips of the rays form four 
distinct rows; all the rays are moreover set on more obliquely than 
in the typical species. The antenne of the female are moderately 
pectinated, the two apical rays of each joint being almost obliterated. 
A beautiful figure of this species is given in Mr. Angas’s plate of 
Zoolu Moths, fig. 15.
