Synonymy of Drymonia querna querna:
Bombyx querna Denis et Schiffermüller, 1775
Drymonia querna (Denis et Schiffermüller, 1775)
Drymonia querna querna (Denis et Schiffermüller, 1775)
Drymonia querna alphitochros Zerny, 1927 (unclear synonymy; see note below)
Drymonia querna sausalica Daniel, 1968
Drymonia danieli Hartig, 1970 (unclear synonymy)
Drymonia querna meridioitalica Hartig, 1970 (unclear synonymy)
The populations from Spain, Italy and Greece differ from the Central European populations by the high number of light-colored specimens. This indicates a shift in allelic frequency of this character and thus a limited gene flow between South and Central European populations. The southern populations might therefore represent a separate subspecies for which the name Drymonia querna alphitochros is available.
