Abstract

Attacus (Archaeoattacus) edwardsii WHITE, 1859, a kind of saturniid moths, was described from Darjeeling and was afterwards found from the Himalayas, Sikkim, Tonkin, Tibet and Yunnan. It has been monotypic, no subspecies or local race having been known up to the present. However, specimens of this beautiful large moth from the Cameron Highlands of the Malay Peninsula seem to represent a distinct new geographical race, and the authors are going to describe this subspecies in the following lines.
