THE NOCTUID^ OF GREAT BRITAIN AS ARRANGED 

 IN THE GENERAL COLLECTION AT THE NATURAL 

 HISTORY MUSEUM. 



By Richard South. 



In the following list of British Noctuidse the nomenclature is 

 that used by Sir George F. Hampson in his ' Catalogue of the 

 Lepidoptera Phalsense in the British Museum,' vols, iv-xiii (1903- 

 1913), and also in the General Collection of Lepidoptera at the 

 Natural History Museum, South Kensington. The number before 

 the name of each species is that of the catalogue. References 

 to the 'Entomologists' Synonymic List' (E.S.L.), Meyrick's 

 ' Handbook of British Lepidoptera ' (M.), Tutt's 'British Noctuse 

 and their Varieties' (T.), and 'Moths of the British Isles' 

 (M.B.I.) have been added as aids to those British entomologists 

 who may have their collections arranged in accordance with 

 either of these publications.
