120 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



a species has been sent to me by two observers ; in such cases I 

 have usually only quoted the name of one of them. In Entom. 

 1888, pp. 247, 248, Mr. J. W. Tutt records several species and 

 varieties of Noctuae from " London." These are omitted from 

 the present list, as I learn from Mr. Tutt that the records refer 

 to parts of London outside Middlesex.

Diloba cceruleocephala, L., generally distributed (Godwin) ; 

 Mill Hill, larvae very common on hedges (South) ; Old Oak Com- 

 mon (Mera) ; Harefield (Wall). 



* Probably the arrangement of the Noctuid moths usually adopted in this 

 country will need modification. I here reduce most of our "families" to sub- 

 families, which is certainly the highest rank they deserve. Grote, in his recent 

 check-list, treats similar divisions merely as tribes. 



+ Dr. Chapman has, I think with sufficient reason, split Acronycta into three 

 genera or subgenera (Ent. Eec. 1890), but, as I learn from Mr. Butler, the names 

 he has proposed for them will not any of them stand as valid.
