Subspecies
A number of subspecies
have been described. Most of them are not accepted by the majority of
authors. The north-eastern European and north-western Asian populations
are recognized as a separate subspecies Cerura vinula estonica
(Hoyningen-Huene, 1905) and the subspecies from Iraq, Cerura vinula
irakana Heydemann, Schulte et Remane, 1963 might in fact be a separate
species. The arctic European populations are recognized as Cerura
vinula phantoma (Dalman, 1823), and there is a doubtful insular form on
Rhodos, Cerura vinula bederi Lattin, Becker et Roesler, 1974. In
Germany only the nominate form is present.
