Reiff 1916, page 15, Syntype of Catocala amica form melanotica Reiff, 1916 OD: "The merely suffused specimens of amica which are found in the whole amica territory do not have the characters of nerissa as given by its author. If it is intended to place these suffused specimens separately, Ipropose to name them : f. melanotica form. nov."
Gall 1990, page 124, Lectotype of Catocala amica form melanotica Reiff, 1916 Figure 5. "A single male specimen labelled melanotica is at the MCZ, and bears a red type label, and I hereby designate it as LECTOTYPE for Catocala melanotica (see Figure 5). The type locality is Illinois, [USA]. The name melanotica is a synonym of Catocala lineella Grote(1872)."
