In one of his entomological rambles in the west of England, 
the Rev. Mr. Horton, of Worcestershire, became the fortunate 
discoverer of this new British Noctua. He states, in Zool. p. 8179,

new addition to the British list of Zepidoptera continues to the 
present time, in Britain, purely Devonian.
