This species has been separated from Saturnia (Eudia) pavonia (Linnaeus, 1758) by Huemer & Nässig (2003) for several reasons, particularly because of F1 hybrid infertility (of females and of most males) between the two, consistent differences in wing markings and differences in genitalial morphology
