?Lycophotia servillii Duponchel. 



1826, Duponchel, Hist. Nat. Lepid. Fr., VI, 25, pi. LXXIII, f. 3, Noctua; 



1829, Boisd., Europ. Lepid., Index Method., p. 67, ; 



1871, Staud., Cat. Lepid. Europ. Faune., part 1, p. 86, puta(?), Agrotis. 



Boisduval states : "Nota. CI. Duponchel, Lepidopteres de France, 

 torn. VI, pi. 73, f. 3, specimen novam nomine Servillii appellavit. 

 Hsec vero Noctua habitat in Georgia Americae et nequaquam in Gallia." 



The colored figure in Duponchel shoMs an insect with the habitus 

 of a Lycophotia near L. infecta Ochs. The absence of the black collar 

 brings the resemblance closer to L. pellucidaUs Grote than to L. infecta 

 but the clean white transverse banding on the primaries is unique. 

 The authors know of no insect which fits either the figure or the 

 description, and suggest the Boisduval was in error regarding the 

 correct habitat of the species. 



Guenee does not list the species in his Mist. Nat. Ins., Spec, Gen.. 

 Noct. ; Staudinger places it questionably as a synonym of the European 

 "Agrotis" puta Hbn. "(Sp. valde aberrans)" but omits it entirely from 

 his 1901 Catalogue ; Hampson appears to have omitted the name from 

 the Cat. Lep. Phal B. M. 



Any information regarding this insect will be greatly appreciated.
