I have rearranged the order, grouping by size and hindwing colour.
In most cases the hindwings can be viewed in the individual species files. They are sometimes diagnostic.
As of April 4, 2010, this page has been further updated as per research data compiled by Larry Gall.
I would like to continue to refine the listings to county levels so images and data (date, location at least to county level,
bait, lights) would be very much appreciated. Please send same to Bill Oehlke.
All images that I use on my websites remain the property of respective photographers and images are credited as such.
The Identification Keys Diagram should help you understand the terminology I have used in describing the various species.
Many thanks to Carroll Rudy and Joan F. Rickert who have sent me images and data for Wisconsin counties.
Many thanks also to Ian Miller who sends data for Eau Claire County. Kate Redmund has sent some images and data from Ozuakee County.
Many thanks to Marcie O'Connor of Buffalo County. Marcie has sent images and data to help build the data base for Wisconsin. Marcie has a very nice website at http://www.aprairiehaven.com/?page_id=10023 where you can see moths of many different families. I am not able to distinguish between mira and blandula for this recent submission from Marcie:

Diffuse dark bar runs from center of basal area to outer margin a few mm above anal angle. Note regular dentation of st line. Inner black bar on lower wing usually terminates well before inner margin. The form "atala" has uniformly grey fw. Unijuga: usually larger with less contrasting black lines. Inner black bar on unijuga usually reaches inner margin. |
** 8801 Catocala ilia; Ilia; wingspan: 65-82mm. Several different forms, most have characteristic white area in and around reniform spot. Diffuse dark arc running from this spot to just below apex. Subreniform spot squarish, concave inner and outer edges and elongated constriction connecting it to pml. White dots near fw om in character with the overall "contrasting" appearance. |
** 8801 Catocala ilia; Ilia; form conspicuaIn this form the entire reniform spot is heavily suffused with white scaling on an otherwise darker ground colour. Hence the form name "conspicua". Tim Dyson image. |
** 8801 Catocala ilia; Ilia; form satanasIn this melanic form the entire forewing, including the reniform spot is very dark. Hence the form name "satanas". The dark basal streak is still evident on this form. Tim Dyson image. |

Two upper "teeth" on pm line: thin/long. Hw bands: pink. Heavy black checking on off-white hw fringe. Relatively thick hw black median band almost reaches inner margin which is usually heavily adorned with dark hairs. |
** 8834 amatrix Sweetheart Underwing; 75-95mm. Very skittish, frequently hides in caves, under bridges, under tree bark, etc. by day, resting with head down. Hw patterning and colouration similar to that of C. concumbens, larger size, dark bar running from basal area to just below apex distinguishes C. amatrix. |
** 8834 amatrix form selecta Sweetheart Underwing; 75-95mm: Very skittish, frequently hides in caves, under bridges, under tree bark, etc. by day, resting with head down. Several forms, selecta (left) lacks fw dark bar. Hesseli: melanic form; pallida: very pale form. |
