Remarks

The Himalayan populations of Archaeoattacus malayanus and the extra-Himalayan populations of Archaeoattacus edwardsii should be reassessed for their correct identification. Archaeoattacus staudingeri (Rothschild, 1895) is distributed in Sundaland (Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, and Java) (Nässig et al. 2010); its Indian records need further investigation.
