Type material. Catocala allusa: the original description does not state the number of types. A female type is at the USNM, and is designated as lectotype to clarify applica-

tion of the name allusa. Th e lectotype bears the labels “Was. T.”, “ Catocala / allusa / Orig. Type. Hulst”, “Type No. / 33992 / U.S. N.M.” Th e geographic distribution of Catocala allusa is broadly parapatric with that of Catocala faustina Strecker, 1873 in northwestern North America; C. allusa blends with C. faustina cleopatra Strecker, 1874 in northwestern California, and with C. faustina faustina in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. Th e larvae of C. allusa and C. faustina also do not differ appreciably, and so we place C. allusa as a subspecies of Catocala faustina Streck- er, 1873. We refer material from the coastal areas of northern California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia to C. faustina allusa. Type Locality: Was[hington] T [erritory, USA].
