\"A new wild silkmoth (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) from the Thai Highlands and Laos is described herein: Antheraea (Antheraea) siriae sp. nov. from the mountainous natural region in the north of Thailand and from Laos. The mountain ranges are part of a system of hills extending through Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, and China and are linking to the Himalayas. So they may be considered foothills of the Himalaya. This new species belongs to the larissa-complex (sensu Paukstadt \& Paukstadt 2018) of the larissa-subgroup (sensu Brechlin 2014) of the subgenus Antheraea H\ÜBNER, 1819 [\“1816\”] of the genus Antheraea H\ÜBNER, 1819 (\“1816\”). DNA barcoding within the BOLD project (Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding, Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada) confirms clear geographical clusters of the following taxa in the larissa-subgroup: Antheraea (Antheraea) larissa larissa (WESTWOOD, 1847) from Java and southeastern Borneo, A. (A.) larissa ridlyi MOORE, 1892 from Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula with its junior subjective synonym A. (A.) delegata SWINHOE, 1893 from Singapore, A. (A.) larissa palawarissa BRECHLIN, 2014 from Palawan, and A. (A.) siriae sp. nov. from northern Thailand and Laos. A. (A.) larissa was reported from Sundaland but the new locations in Thailand and Laos are far off the so far known distribution range. The female and the early stages of A. (A.) siriae sp. nov. remain unknown. We decided to describe the new taxon of the larissa-subgroup in species rank because the boundaries of the range of siriae sp. nov. are still unknown and may overlap the range of A. (A.) larissa ridlyi at the Isthmus of Kra or further north. The habitus, pattern and color morphology of A. (A.) siriae sp. nov. are almost similar as in other taxa of this complex but gouping in the BOLD TaxonID Tree, the male genitalia structures, and the venation in the forewings are different. The male holotype of A. (A.) siriae sp. nov. is figured in color dorsally and ventrally, as well as its male genitalia structures which are compared to other taxa in the larissa-subgroup, the wing venation of one of the paratypes, and the appropriate part of the BOLD TaxonID Tree are illustrated. An overview on the taxa of the larissa-subgroup is presented herein.\"

\"The following contribution to knowledge the wild silkmoths (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) deals exclusively with the wing venation of various species of the genus Antheraea H\übner, 1819 (\“1816\”). This study aims to determine whether the morphology of the wing venation can be used for the classification within the genus Antheraea as an additional tool besides external morphology, genitalia morphology, and DNA structures. In Part II of this series a representative number of specimens from each subgenus or group / subgroup is examined. The venations are depicted in a true-to-nature drawing with scale of taxa of the subgenera Antheraea H\übner, 1819 (\“1816\”), Loepantheraea Toxopeus, 1940, Antheraeopsis Wood-Mason, 1886, and Telea H\übner, 1819 (\“1816\”). Pupal veins are not considered herein. Specimens of the following subgenera and species-groups were studied. Those are the mylitta-subgroup (sensu Paukstadt, Brosch \& Paukstadt 1999), the frithi-subgroup (sensu N\ässig 1991), and the cordifolia-subgroup (sensu Holloway, Naumann \& N\ässig 1996) of the mylitta/frithi-group (sensu Paukstadt, Brosch \& Paukstadt 1999), the helferi-subgroup (sensu Paukstadt, Paukstadt \& Brosch 1998) and the yamamai-subgroup (sensu Paukstadt, Paukstadt \& Brosch 1998) of the helferi-group (sensu N\ässig 1991), and the pernyi-group (sensu N\ässig 1991) of the subgenus Antheraea, the subgenus Loepantheraea, and the castanea-group (sensu Paukstadt, Paukstadt \& Brosch 1998) and the youngi-group (sensu Paukstadt, Paukstadt \& Brosch 1998) of the subgenus Antheraeopsis, and finally the subgenus Telea (sensu N\ässig 1991). Individual variations or aberrations are, as far as they were detected during our studies, also illustrated. The range of variation in wing venation mostly remains unknown in all taxa of Antheraea which were examined so far. Studies on the variation of wing venation in Antheraea are generally lacking so far. An exception for example is from Nath \& Devi (2009), who studied the venation pattern and shape variation in A. (Ao.) assamensis (Helfer, 1837) of Assam, India. The following pages show only the illustrations of the venations. An evaluation and description was already made in Part I of these contributions.\"

\"The following contribution to knowledge the wild silkmoths (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) deals exclusively with the wing venation of various species of the genus Antheraea H\ÜBNER, 1819 (\“1816\”). This study aims to determine whether the morphology of the wing venation can be used for the classification within the genus Antheraea. Toxopeus (1940) already noted that the venation of the highly variable Antheraea taxa may be a tool for determination because he found that the vein R1 [named R1+2 in this contribution] branch off from the stalk differently. The venation of six taxa was illustrated graphically by Toxopeus (1940). Further examples, Dicky, Erick, Kokko, Barron, Schaalje \& Gowen (1992) used image analysis of wings for the identification of ichneumonid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), Albrecht \& Kalia (1997) noted a variation of wing venation in Elachistidae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea), Nath \& Devi (2009) studied the venation pattern and shape variation in A. (Ao.) assamensis (Helfer, 1837) of Assam, India, Warren (1936) demonstrated that the wing venation varies considerably and may even display an asymmetric pattern in Erebia sp. (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), and Sotavolta (1994) recorded a considerable intraspecific variation in the wing venation of Arctiidae (Lepidoptera). Detailed studies on the variation of wing venation in Antheraea are lacking so far.
In Part I and II of this contribution 42 taxa of the genus Antheraea were examined by us to receive a good overview on the morphological structures of the wing venation in Antheraea. Aberrations were observed at two taxa (three wings). As already noted by Toxopeus (1940), the lengths of R1+2 (sensu Paukstadt \& Paukstadt 2018) [= R1 sensu Toxopeus 1940] are different in various taxa and therefore arise at the stalk of vein R in different positions. The taxa are grouped according to their morphology of the wing venation, regardless of color, pattern and/or genital morphological or other differences. This contribution will be added later.\"
