Type material. Catocala edwardsi: the name edwardsi is a replacement name for C. mariana Strecker, 1874, with the same type specimen and type locality [FMNH, examined], and C. mariana Strecker is a primary junior homonym of C. mariana Rambur, 1866 (see Gall and Hawks 1990). Although C. edwardsi has been treated since McDunnough (1938) as a subspecies of C. californica Edwards, C. edwardsi falls within the normal range of geographic variation of C. californica . Type Locality: Vancouver Island, [British Columbia, Canada].
