Type material. Catocala sorsconi : holotype ♁ [ USNM, examined]. Although Barnes and Benjamin discussed wing pattern characters supposedly differentiating C. c. consors (J. E. Smith, 1797) from their northern subspecies C. s. sorsconi (which they had named “mainly to correct… [Reiff’s] error [in naming pensacola]”), these characters vary widely in large series of specimens from Texas through Florida. Because the variation is geographically inconsistent, we see little merit in retaining the name sorsconi . Type Locality: Maine, [ USA].
