Catocala nerissa : the original description states “Type, coll. B. Neumoegen.” At the AMNH is a nerissa labeled “Type” and at the USNM is another nerissa labeled “Type 2.” The AMNH type is a specimen of C. lineella Grote, 1872 and the USNM type is a specimen of C. jair Strecker, 1897 . The AMNH male is designated as lectotype to clarify application of the name nerissa . The name nerissa thereby attaches to C. lineella , which itself was reinstated to species status by Gall (1990). The lectotype bears the labels “S. West / Texas .”, “No. 11784 / Collection / Hy. Edwards.”, “ Cat. amica / var. nerissa . / Type Hy. Edw.” Type Locality: hereby restricted to S[outh] West Texas , [ USA ] on the basis of the lectotype labels.
