Genus CATOCALA Schrank 
This is a very large genus represented in both hemispheres. 
The metropolis of the genus appears to be North America; at all 
events, there are more species found in our territory than occur 
elsewhere, though in eastern Asia and temperate Europe the 
genus is very well represented by many strikingly beautiful forms. 
There is considerable variation in the case of some of the species, 
and as they have always been favorites with collectors, a great 
deal has been written upon them, and many varietal names have 
been suggested. Over one hundred species are attributed to our 
fauna. Of these the majority are figured in our plates. We 
follow the order of arrangement given in Dyar’s List of North 
American Lepidoptera.
