Agrotis fennica Tausch. 



Of this species one specimen was said to have been 

 taken in England about 1850, and none has ever 

 been taken here since. The two females in this 

 collection were probably the first ever brought to 

 England, and until Herr Louis Graeser bred these 

 from larvae found in Eastern Siberia, the difference 

 between the male and the female seems to have been 

 unknown to scientists. (See Mr. Dobree's article 

 in the ' Entomologist," December 1887, where, how- 

 ever, the habitat is wrongly given as ' Western 

 Siberia.' This mistake is repeated on p. 376 of 

 Barrett's 'Brit. Lep.' Vol. III., and on p. 84 of 

 Tutt's 'Brit. Noct.', Vol. II.).
