Antheraea brunei Allen & Holloway
Antheraea brunei Allen & Holloway, (1986), Brunei Mus. J. 1985 *, * 6(1): 131-134.
Diagnosis
The species is distinguished by: the yellow ground colour, the straight margin (cf. concave) of the female forewing: the lack of post- and antemedial fasciae in the female; in both sexes, the broken lunulate submarginal of the upperside, reflected on the underside by more extensive rows of black triangles.
In other species the submarginal is entire, straight on the forewing, crenulate on the hindwing, and much less intense on the underside.

This species belongs, with the previous two, to the frithi Moore group.
