336 APPENDIX. 



Quite a number of N. edelsteni were obtained by Messrs. 

 Wightman and Sharp in the Cuckmere Valley of Sussex, 

 July, 1908. 



At a meeting of the Entomological Society of London, held 

 on November 4, 1908, a series of bred edelsteni from Sussex 

 was exhibited by Mr. Edelsten. 



By a consensus of opinion among entomologists, Sussex 

 specimens are now considered to be true British representatives 

 oi 7ienrica, Hubn., Fig. 381. 



Page 332. Peucephila Essoni, Hamps.— On July 12, 

 1909, Mr. Esson, of Aberdeen, captured a specimen of a 

 noctuid moth at sugar on a fir j^ree. This he sent to me for 

 identification. As the insect was a novelty to me, it was 

 submitted to Sir George F. Hampson, who, finding that the 

 moth was not only a species new to science, but not even 

 congeneric with any other noctuid, described and figured it 

 as indicated on page 332 of this volume. 



Although keenly searched for, no other example of the 

 species had been detected up to the end of 1 919.
