CATACOLA UNI JUG A. 
Under surface, primaries white, with broad black marginal and median bands, sub-basal 
band of paler color, and does not extend to interior margin. 
Secondaries have inner two-thirds of same red as on upper surface, the costal third is 
white ; black bands same as above, excepting that the mesial reaches in some examples quite 
to the margin ; a discal lune connects with mesial band on its inner edge. 
Habitat. Canada, New England, Middle and Western States. 
This fine species, which is rather rare, belongs to the group of which C. Nupta is the type. 
CATOCALA PARTA. Guenee. 
Spec. Gen. Vol. YU, p. 84. 
( PLATE V, FIG. 10 $ ) 
Expands 3 inches. 
Thorax, above, grey ; abdomen ochraceous ; beneath, greyish white. 
Upper surface, primaries grey shaded with yellowish brown, the whole surface has a 
smooth silky look, quite different from the squamose powdery appearance of C. Unijuga ; 
the transverse lines, which are arranged much as in that species, are geminate, and as well as 
all the other markings are very distinct and clear. The sub-reniform is large and entirely 
disconnected from the transverse posterior line ; between the sub-median vein and first median 
veinlet is a dark longitudinal line or shade, extending from the transverse posterior line to 
exterior margin ; interior to the reniform is a pale patch ; fringes grey. 
Secondaries bright red ; median band narrow and terminates in a point, two lines from 
the abdominal margin. 
Under surface same as in C. Unijuga, except that the sub-basal band of primaries is as 
dark in color as the others. 
Habitat. Canada, New England and Middle States. 
In many localities quite common : the larva feeds on various species of Salix and the 
imago appears middle or end of July. 
CATOCALA PERPLEXA. NOY. ? YAR. 
(PLATE Y, FIG. 11 r?.) 
Expands 3^ inches. 
Thorax, above, blueish grey, abdomen brownish yellow ; beneath, white. 
Upper surface, primaries dark blueish grey; transverse lines black and distinct as in C. 
Parta. Two white bars cross the wing, one formed by the intervening space between the 
transverse posterior and sub-terminal lines, the other by the large sub-reniform and the space 
adjoining it interior to the reniform ; sub-apical dash black ; fringes concolorous with the 
ground of wing.
