Catocala erichi Brower, 1976
A narrow endemic, known only from a few adjacent
localities in the
San Bernardino Mountains of southern California. The life history was worked out by John Johnson and
Erich Walter in the late 1970s, and the only (black and white) larval image of which we are aware is
reproduced here from their publication
(J. Res. Lepid. 23: 231-235, 1984).
Body color stated as varying from pale gray-brown to dark brown, and otherwise apparently comparable
and overlapping with a number of the other western
Salicaceae-feeding species.
