M. Guerin-Meneville observes that A. Pernyi may be dis- 

 tinguished from A. Mylitta by the form and texture of its cocoon. 

 In his figures of the males A. Pernyi differs from A. Mylitta bv its 

 less falcate fore wings and by the exterior band, which is different 

 in colour, more straight, and in the hind wings is contiguous to the 

 Dcellus. A. Mylitta varies much in the distance of the band of the 

 bind wings from the ocellus, and the fore wings of the male are 

 nore or less falcate. Cocoon tawny-yellow, oval and rugose, like 

 :hat of Bombyx Mori.
