Opinions on the identification of this Catocala from southwestern Oregon, Josephine County, would be appreciated.
I think it is Catocala faustina cleopatra.
It is described as deep bluish grey, perhaps even greyer than indicated in photo.
Large, open, pork chop-shaped subreniform spot, indistinct reniform spot, colouration seem most suggestive of faustina cleopatra.
Sorry no views of hindwings, abdomen or underside available. No wingspan available; just date: September 11, 2013 and location: Wolf Creek,
Josephine County, southwestern Oregon.
