Saturnia pavonia (Linnaeus, 1758)

Shugurov, 1905.

It is known only from old report for the north of the Region, there are no modern finds ( Fig. 29). It is possible that this report refers to the closely related species Saturnia pavoniella (Scopoli, 1763) , which until recently was considered as a junior synonym of S. pavonia . In the Ukrainian Transcarpathia and in the neighboring regions of Romania it is univoltine, and the flight of adults takes place in the spring in April-May.
