Much resembles Saturnia Pyri, but the fore wings are longer 

 and narrower, and consequently more oblique along the exterior 

 border. Head and thorax reddish brown, the latter with two white 

 bands. Antennae testaceous. Abdomen pale brown. Wings 

 whitish, brown towards the exterior border, and with dark brown 

 zigzag bands. Fore wings with a large reddish brown spot at the 

 base ; whitish part speckled with brown ; costa very pale yellow, 

 speckled with black; a reddish mark and a larger black blue- 

 speckled spot near the tips, which are white ; ocellus lunate, alter- 

 nately red and white, bordered with black on its exterior side. 

 Hind wings purplish about the ocellus, which is much broader aud 

 darker than that of the fore wings, and has two dark brown borders, 

 one round the hyaline mark, the other outermost. Length of the 

 body 15 lines; of the wings 56—63 lines.
