The recognized Nearctic species in the noctuid moth genus Catocala Schrank (1802) presently number ca. 100, with a synonymy comprising over 350 names. The Nearctic Catocala will be revised in a forthcoming "Moths of America North of Mexico" Fascicle, the taxonomic groundwork for which is appearing first in articles discussing the types in institutional collections (see Gall & Hawks, 1990). The present paper examines the taxonomic status of 18 Nearctic Catocala names, based on type material at the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), Harvard University.
