Brahmaea sp??

[jonathan]

Hi people

I have the following 3 Brahmaea specimens. The 3rd one at the bottom is Acanthobrahamaea europea, but what are the top & middle ones? They look very similar to Acanthobrahamaea europea but the markings are quite different and consistent between the male and the female. When I bought the specimens I was told that they are Acanthobrahamaea europea and that obviously they are from Italy, but I'm not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jonathan

A. europea exist only in Italy in the same locality.
It is variable as any other Bramaeid (even right and left wings are rarely exactely the same on the same specimen);
