 Armenia and Asia Minor. The Amur and Japan forms are referable rather to exigua Btlr. (= salurata 

 Stgr.). Larva yellowish green, with a white darker-edged dorsal line and narrow white subdorsal lines; 

 spiracular line pale, dark-edged above; feeds in spring on oak, sallow, sloe, and various other trees and 

 shrubs, spinning a slight cocoon among leaves or moss for pupation; it is noted for its cannibalistic propensities.

 snow white costal spots; a small one before subbasal line; a large blotch before inner line, followed by a 

 smaller one below orbicular; an outwardly oblique comma-shaped mark beyond outer line, and a slight 

 one, followed by two black spots, before submarginal; hindwing blackish, paler towards base, with the 

 fringe yellowish. Originally described by Walker from India; the ab. picta Stgr. (= dieckmanni Graes.), picia.
