Carl Linnaeus first described the species "Lymantria dispar" in 1758. The subject of classification has changed throughout the years, resulting in confusion surrounding the species' taxonomy. This caused many references to describe this one species in different ways. The family has jumped between Lymantriidae, Noctuidae and Erebidae. "Lymantria dispar dispar" has been designated a subspecies of "Lymantria dispar".
