| Saturniidae Saturniinae Saturniini |

| Saturnia (Eudia) pavonia (Linnaeus, 1758) | |
 Emperor Moth
| |
Genus: Saturnia Schrank, 1802 Subgenus: Eudia Seitz, 1911 Original genus: Phalaena Linnaeus, 1758
This species has been separated from Saturnia (Eudia) pavoniella (Scopoli, 1763) 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
