Type
material.
Catocala phoebe
: the name
phoebe
was proposed by Hulst as “A form intermediate between
coelebs
and
badia
… Found in Mass. and N. Hampshire.” Since Hulst gave distinguishing characters and non-overlapping geographic localities for each of
C. badia
Grote & Robinson, 1866
,
C. coelebs
Grote, 1874
and
C. phoebe
, the name
phoebe
was proposed in a subspecific context and is available. Hulst cited the name
phoebe
to “Hy. Edw. MSS,” but Hulst’s paper was published before Edwards’ description appeared. Two females from Hy. Edwards’ type lot are at the
AMNH
, and one is designated
lectotype
to clarify application of the name
phoebe
Hulst. Th
e
lectotype
bears the labels “
New Hampshire
”, “No. 11779 / Collection / Hy. Edwards.”, “Type / No. / A.M.N.H.” Type Locality: hereby restricted to
New Hampshire
, [
USA
] on the basis of the
lectotype
labels.
