CATOCALA ILLECTA, Walk.

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  31 May 2012

Extract

In March last, Mr. E. N. Laing, of Essex, Ont. one of our young collectors, whilst on a visit to London availed himself of the opportunity to obtain the names of his captures. Whilst I was looking over his collection, a Catocala, with something quite unusual in its appearance to me, arrested my attention; and on comparing it with those in the Society's possession I found it was not there represented. Upon turning up Mr. Strecker's “ Lep. Rhop. Et. Het” I found it therein vividly portrayed on Plate XI., fig. 9 and named by him Catocala magdalena. Not finding that name in Smith's list of 1891, I had to turn up the Synonymy, and found that it was known as C. Illecta of Walker.
