Subspecies
A number of closely
related forms from Asia have formerly been regarded as separate species, but
Schintlmeister (2008) included them in Cerura vinula as subspecies on
the basis that their genitalia are virtually identical and they only differ in wing patterns. In
Germany only the nominate form is present.
