\"The following contribution to knowledge the wild silkmoths deals in particular with a remarkable intergeneric hybrid of the tribus Attacini Blanchard, 1840: ♂ Archaeoattacus edwardsii (White, 1859) (Attacus) of the genus Archaeoattacus Watson in Packard in Cockerell, 1914 from Shillong, Meghalaya Province, India X ♀ Attacus atlas atlas (Linnaeus, 1758) of the genus Attacus Linnaeus, 1767 from Java I., West Java Province, Indonesia. The artificial hybrid was reared by the senior author in 2013/2014. The 2nd instar larva, the mature larva and the male hybrid are described and illustrated in color for the first time being. The male adults show characters of both parent species as well as intermediate ones, characters of A. atlas atlas predominate.\"

\"This paper to knowledge the wild silkmoths (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) deals with an interesting aberration of the antennae of a female adult of Attacus atlas (Linnaeus, 1758) from Thailand, which is a species of the genus Attacus Linnaeus, 1767 of the tribe Attacini BLANCHARD, 1840. Aberrations in the structures of the antennae of male and female adults of the family Saturniidae Boisduval, [1837] 1834 are not very rare but often have been overlooked by the collector, cf. U. \& L. H. Paukstadt (2000, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c). The authors illustrated an aberration of the female antennae of A. atlas (Thailand). Both antennae are almost twice as wide as in other specimens. Two females with the same aberration were found within a lot of specimens emerged from wild collected cocoons.\"

\"The following contribution to knowledge the wild silkmoths (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) of the Indonesian fauna deals in particular with remarkable intraspecific wingspan differences in reared adults of Attacus dohertyi W. Rothscild, 1895 from the western part of the island of Timor, Indonesia. Eggs of A. dohertyi were received from some females which came to light on the island of Timor. The rearing was carried out by the authors under laboratory conditions in Germany, cf. L. H. \& U. Paukstadt (2016). Considerable wingspan differences of the female adults were noted in the rearing of A. dohertyi. A possible reason for observed wingspan differences is discussed in this paper. The wingspan differences were most likely not due to a too large breeding density (crowding) and/or the quality of the host plant because most of the adults of the same rearing reached normal wingspans. We assume that small size adults were obtained because retarded small size larvae reached the final stage due to good care by the breeders. With other words, the natural selection which usually is present in nature was completely lacking. Two females of this rearing which are showing maximum wingspan differences are illustrated in color.\"

\"This paper to knowledge the wild silkmoths (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) in particular deals with the color and pattern morphology of the body (head, thorax, and abdomen) of selected species in the genus Attacus Linnaeus, 1767 of the tribe Attacini Blanchard, 1840. Peigler (1989) provided short general descriptions of the head, thorax and abdomen for many species of the genus Attacus. Thus far no detailed information on the particular color and pattern morphology of the body and its intraspecific variability has been found literature. No studies were found being recorded in literature whether the color and pattern morphology of the abdomen of the adults might be taxonomically useful in the genus Attacus. This first study on this matter deals with the color- and pattern morphology of the body of fife [sic] species of the genus Attacus. Those are ♂ Attacus atlas atlas (Linnaeus, 1758) (Phalaena Bombyx) from Java I., ♂ and ♀ A. caesar Maassen, 1873 from the Philippines, ♂ and ♀ A. dohertyi W. Rothschild, 1895 from Timor I., Eastern Lesser Sunda Islands, ♂ A. intermedius Jurriaanse \& Lindemans, 1920 from Yamdena I., Tanimbar Archipelago, and ♂ and ♀ A. suparmani Paukstadt \& Paukstadt, 2002 from Alor I., Eastern Lesser Sunda Islands. Pictures of fresh specimens were taken for illustrations and comparisons, since the size and shape varies considerably between fresh and dried specimens. The color morphology of the head is slightly variable but dorsally (vertex, occiput) almost similar the ground coloration of the dorsal parts of the thorax. The frons and the labial palpi are mostly similar colored as the legs. No particular pattern was observed being present at the head. It was found that comparisons of the color and pattern morphology of the head are taxonomically not useful. The color and pattern morphology of the thorax and the abdomen of male and female adults are somehow variable. The range of variability remains unknown so far. The thorax is mostly in ground coloration dorsally but shows a very complex pattern and color morphology laterally and ventrally. The spiracular ornamentation of the abdomen seems to be copied and enlarged to the thorax. The ventral parts are usually obscured by the legs and therefore not sufficiently visible. We found that the color and pattern morphology of the thorax to be taxonomically hardly useful. Despite the complex structures of the lateral and ventral pattern morphology of the abdomen and so far unknown range of variability (all?) species in the genus Attacus could perhaps be defined due to the color and pattern morphology of the abdomen. Those are at least the species which were examined in this contribution. The ventral and lateral color and pattern morphology of the abdomen of male and female adults of each studied species were found to be almost similar but distinct from related species. Color and pattern morphology of the dorsal parts of the abdomen were found to be taxonomically not useful. But we found that the color and pattern morphology of the lateral and ventral parts of the abdomen of Attacus might be taxonomically very useful. Further studies on this matter based on some more species are considered necessary. Herewith we would like to provide suggestions for additional studies in particular.\"
