Amata edwardsi (Part), Hampsn. (nee Butl.) Cat Lep. Phal. 

 Suppl. l,p. 39 (1914). 

 I have examined the type specimen of the present species which was 

 in a rather poor condition, so that I could not distinctly settle the 

 specific value of it. Eecently, however, a specimen that had a close 

 resembrance to the specimen has been sent to me by Mr. Hirayama, 

 an enthusiastic collector. »Since this specimen has been in a very perfect 

 condition, I have been able to make through study and conclude that 

 this was no other than amata taiwana which is a distinct species and 

 stand nearer to cyssea, Stoll. .Rather than to edwardsi, Butl, according 

 to Bampson's diagonosis. Above all the remarkable difference of the 

 present species from A. eduardsi is the absence of the lateral series < >f 

 orange spots between the orange bands of abdomen. Besides the cilia 

 below apex of fore wing in this species are also white as was stated 

 in the orginal description and this may likewise be recognized as 

 one of distingushing characters of the present species from edwardsi 

 and cyssea
