Species/Subspecies
Salassa lola Westwood, 1847 (Saturnia)
Type Locality
Sylhet (Salassa lola is not a lowland species and therefore, ‘Sylhet’ is a wrongly recorded type locality, it should be somewhere in Darjeeling [West Bengal, India] (Naumann & Lalhmingliani 2019)).
=Salassa kitchingi Brechlin, 2010b: 60–65 (TL. Nepal)
Remarks
Salassa lola is typically a Himalayan species (Naumann & Lalhmingliani 2019) and thus, the records from Assam, Meghalaya (India), and Bangladesh need further confirmation.
