Coordinator notes: I am pretty sure this is Catocala ophelia. It is restricted in range so it has not been listed on the website before, and I would like to have had a clear picture of the upper side of the hindwings, but the forewing pattern is relatively distinctive, so I have a fair confidence level in the identification.. Nothing is absolutely sure in Catocala, however! Sorry it took so long. Kelly
