Type
material.
Catocala verecunda
: the original description states “Habitat,
Montana
. Taken in numbers by H. K. Morrison.” Two female types are at the
AMNH
, and one is designated as
lectotype
to clarify application of the name
verecunda
. The
lectotype
bears the labels “
♀
”, “Mon.”, “Collection / GDHulst”, “
Catocala
/ verecunda / Type Hulst.” The name
verecunda
has been treated as a subspecies of
C. hermia
H. Edwards, 1880
but
C. verecunda
falls within the normal pattern of variation seen in nominate
C. hermia
. Type Locality:
Montana
, [
USA
].
