Type material. Catocala nurus : the original description states “a-c. United States. Presented by E. Doubleday, Esq.” A female type is at the BMNH, and is designated lectotype to clarify application of the name nurus . Th e lectotype bears the labels “ New York / Doubleday / 46-110”, “ New York / 46-110 [and on the reverse:] Catocala / nurus ♀ / Walker Type.” The name nurus Walker is a synonym of C. amatrix Hübner, [1813] and a homonym of Noctua nurus Hübner, 1822 , which is itself a synonym of the Palearctic C. elocata (Esper, 1787) . Type Locality: United States.
