Catocala texanae French, 1902
This is a large Catocala apparently endemic to Texas and extreme southern Oklahoma. The adults are close in appearance
to junctura which is sympatric and
electilis which is not. The larva of texanae remains unknown but is surely a Salicaceae-feeder. Those of you in the Longhorn
State -- this would be an excellent
caterpillar to find and rear to an adult!
