I've seen a lot Saturniildae in my life time but I've never seen this one. This is from Pianma, Yunnan, China. On the Chinese side near the border between North Eastern side of Myanmar and Yunnan China. It looks a lot like Atcias dubernardi but with out the pink, shorter and fatter tails. I only collected one specimen this year. I think it's a faded Actias rhodopneuma? Please let know if you know which Atcias sp is this one?

And the same with this one, I have no idea but it's from the same location.

the first is a male of Actias rhodopneuma ....
the second is a female of another sp (may be selene group)

Thanks but the 2nd one isn't big at all, only very small.

I am pretty sure the small female is Actias chrisbrechlinae, based on small size, slightly concave outer margin, location and larger hindwing ocelli. Bill Oehlke
