Ternary hydridizations between Actias Graellsia isabellae g. male and some female hybrids issued from Actias luna L. and Actias truncatipennis Sonth. have been obtained in 1992 (Lambillionea, XCIV, 2, p132-136, juin 1993). Female hybrids were:

[(luna x truncatipennis) x luna] or HL,
[(luna x (luna x truncatipennis)] x [(luna x truncatipennis) x luna] or LH x HL,
and (luna x truncatipennis) x (luna x truncatipennis) or H2.
Female don’t bear mature ovules. Her pupae have been treated for imaginal moulting. Male fecundity keep being validated or invalidated.
