Skegness, 16-7-1879, G T P. Theddlethorpe, 1904, A. E.

MAMESTRA FURVA Hb 
Mr. Burton informs me he has five separate notes of the 
occurrence of this insect at Gainsborough in 1860. I 
understand that furva is chiefly a coast species, and is 
pretty well confined to the North and West of England, so 
its occurrence inland in Lincolnshire, though a long time 
ago, is most interesting
