This description corresponds to <i>Brahmaea tancrei</i>. However, description of larva of “ <i>Brahmaea ledereri</i> ” from Xitianmushan (Zhu & Wang 1983: 415) corresponds to <i>Brahmaea certhia</i>, whereas the photograph of the moth (Zhu & Wang 1983: fig. 2987) agrees with <i>Brahmaea tancrei diastemata</i>.</p>
