material.
Catocala beutenmuelleri
: the original description states “Provo Ut. (Spalding), 3 ♁,
1 ♀
. Type, coll. Barnes.” A male type is at the
USNM
, and is designat- ed as
lectotype
to clarify application of the name
beutenmuelleri
. The
lectotype
bears the labels “Tom Spalding / VIII-2-9 / Provo
Utah
”, “
Catocala
/ beutenmuelleri / B+McD / Type ♁.” The name
beutenmuelleri
has been retained since
Barnes and McDunnough (1918)
as a western subspecies of
C. verrilliana
Grote, 1875
. However, specimens referable to
C. beutenmuelleri
are part of the normal infrapopulational variation seen throughout the geographic range of
C. verrilliana
. Type Locality: Provo, Ut[ah,
USA
].
