Mr. Wm Saunders has sent me, under the number 115, specimens of a Noctuid “from larvæ found in oak, imago July 19th,” which I regard as this species. The moth is variable in general colour and the appearance of the discal spots, and hence Guenée's description wi1l not always literally apply. The only difference of importance I can see is that the two median trapezoidal lines on the fore wings are wider apart on the internal margin than in my specimens of the European trapezina.
