joint). One-third of the apical part of each antenna is destitute of 
rays. 
The antenne of the female are slightly pectinated for two-thirds of 
the base, the two apical rays of each joint being almost obsolete. The 
tips are serrated. 
The palpi are deflexed, and the tips appear just beyond the hairs 
of the lower part of the face. 
Var. Smaller, with the fore-wings and body destitute of the red 
colour, and the hind-wings fulvous with the outer margin purplish-

Male with the fore-wings very slightly emarginate along the outer 
margin; hind-wings produced into a strong angle in the middle of 
the hind-margin ; all on the upper side of a silky, pale brownish-grey, 
uniform colour, traversed by a slightly distinct, slender, brown striga 
beyond the middle. The hind-ones marked moreover in the middle with 
a small, round, dusky spot, having an indistinct vitreous lunule in the 
middle, and surrounded by an indistinct whitish circle. The antennee 
are dark brown ; those of the male are moderately bipectinated, each 
haying about thirty-six rays on each side, a few of the apical joints 
being destitute of rays, and some of the preceding having the second 
ray gradually becoming obsolete. The female antenne are only 
slightly serrated, the second spur on each side of each joint bemg 
obliterated. The veins are those of the typical Saturnia. 
The female has the body and wings of a pale reddish buff, with the 
dusky striga beyond the middle almost obliterated, and the dusky 
spot in the middle semicircular. On the underside the hind-wings 
have also a small oval dark spot towards the base.

Isabelle-colonred or pale rufous brown, with an irregular pale 
greyish bar before the middle, followed by an oblique darker fascia, 
on the outside of which is a small semi-oval talc-like spot ; beyond this, 
extending from near the tip of the wings towards the middle of the 
inner margin, is a nearly straight, slender, darker line, edged with 
greyish on each side; the apical margin of the wing beyond the dark 
line becoming grey, shaded off to the ground colour of the wing. The 
hind-wings have a large ocellus, black in the centre, with a minute 
vitreous dot in the middle, with a red lead-coloured ring outside the
