Saturniidae of Macedonia

Bernhard Wenczel includes the following Saturniidae from Macedonia:
Saturnia ligurica, Saturnia pavonia, Saturnia pyri, Saturnia spini, and Perisomena caecigena.

He also states it is quite probable that Aglia tau flies in Macedonia.

The Saturnia (and Aglia) species fly in the early spring, while caecigena is a fall species.

The Republic of Macedonia is a Southeast European country, surrounded by former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania . Skopje is its capitol. The state symbol is the golden sun. Just slightly larger than the state of Vermont, land-locked Macedonia has a combined land and water surface area of 25,333 sq km. Summer and autumnn are warm, dry seasons. Winters are relatively cold with heavy snowfall on the mountainous territory covered with deep basins and valleys. There are three large southern lakes, each divided by a frontier line. The country is bisected by the Vardar River.

International recognition of The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's (F.Y.R.O.M.) independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 was delayed by Greece's objection to the new state's use of what it considered a Hellenic name and symbols. Greece finally lifted its trade blockade in 1995, and the two countries agreed to normalize relations, despite continued disagreement over F.Y.R.O.M.'s use of "Macedonia." F.Y.R.O.M.'s large Albanian minority, an ethnic Albanian armed insurgency in F.Y.R.O.M. in 2001, and the status of neighboring Kosovo continue to be sources of ethnic tension.
