NOTE: By virtue of the ICZN Opinion cited below, any taxonomist who considers the wild moth (pernyi) and the domestic moth (roylei) to be conspecific must use the name pernyi. If the two taxa are not considered synonyms, then roylei is a valid taxon name, and spelled roylei rather than roylii.
Synonyms
