Thanos,
It is hard to distinguish between pernyi and roylii.
Roylii tends to be larger, and these are big moths.
I initially went with roylii because of location, but pernyi has probably been introduced in many areas outside its normal range
because of silk. The females could be roylii or pernyi. It has been a long time since I reared pernyi, but I think I remember the
"different" ventral markings being much different from other
Antheraea species. I think lampei, roylii and its subspecies and
pernyi must be very closely related.

PS I was earlier today looking at an image of a live female Antheraea from Sri Lanka and it is very hard to tell the difference between paphia and mylitta, both of which might fly there.

Hi Bill, you're welcome to use the photos for ID them. and what does WLSS mean?

about 1 9 9A, they are the same one, Salassa htayaungi i made a google search by 'Salassa' it's too hard for me. as there're other sp. looks also quite similar. i made a search by chinese searching engine. there's no name record of 'S.htayaungi' but 'Salassa lola,Salassa thespis,' but i believe the result is not completed

about 8 ,Cricula andrei ,after i searched it was really been found in China.

about 4. Antheraea frithi javanensis, the subsp by the name Java... so the it was orginally from Java (Indonesia)? if so,it should be a wide distribition sp. however Antheraea frithi was in S.E.Asia was sured, Thailand for ex.

about pernyi and roylii, for thouse sp. that hard to be differed from each other that the distributions perhaps could help some if know their distribution.it is important,however i have no idea of course.

Thank You ALL Very Much!

#6, the female Eupterotid I think is in the genus Palirisa.
