Catocala louiseae, or Louise's underwing, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species is endemic to the United States. The epithet, louiseae, is in honor of "the late Louise (Mrs. E.P.) Mellon" who funded the Carnegie Museum of Natural History expedition on which the type specimen was collected. The species was first described by John Bauer in 1965.^[2]
