Indomalyan Saturniidae distribution maps?

[lamprima2]

Does anyone know a website that shows the areals of
different subspecies (now - species) of the Attacus atlas and
Attacus (now Archaeoattacus) edwardsii? I am sure
I saw that site but cannot find it anymore.

There is a book written by Richard Peigler which came out in the early '90s (?) It is titled Attacus.

I thought the book was quite good (although I don't own a copy) and in it he revised the entire genus Attacus as well as Archeoattacus and also included Coscinocera as well.

I don't know if the book is still in print or if you could find it online through one of the book vendors however, I'm certain it must have some distribution maps or details of where certain species may be found.

As Vernon Brou (one of our members) pointed out that the trouble with websites of any kind is that they come and go in the blink of an eye or they are poorly maintained.

Whenever I see something fascinating either here on insect net or on the web in general I always screenshot the item and log it on my iPad in very organized folders in case I ever wish to search up the information again.

Just a helpful suggestion in case something worthwhile does appear on the web at any time.

Perhaps if someone has the Attacus book they could p.m. you with relevant pictures of any distribution maps that are shown.
