Catocala mira var. dana Cassino, 1918a: 54 Catocala mira ssp. dana ; McDunnough 1938: 118 Catocala mira ssp. dana ; Franclemont and Todd 1983: 129 Type material. Catocala mira var. dana : the original description states a “ Holotype ♁ in the collection of the author.” Th ere is a female at the USNM [Type No. 44533, examined] with a Cassino type label and appropriate locality data, and because Cassino often missexed his material, we consider this female to be his holotype . The name dana has in the past been treated as a subspecies of C. mira Grote, 1876 , probably based on small sample sizes and limited knowledge of geographic variation in this species. We have examined large numbers of C. mira from throughout North America, and find the name dana to be neither distinctive nor geographically definable. Type Locality: Springfield, Texas , [ USA ].
