Re: Additional moth species required

Hi Charles,

In addition to the aforementioned which you haven't seen yet, please also consider the following:

Bradley Code: Unknown (possibly 2434a)
Taxon: Diachrysia stenochrysis
Authority: (Warren, 1915)
Vernacular: Cryptic Burnished Brass
Parent: Noctuidae

Caveat: This is considered a separate species from (Diachrysia chrysitis) Burnished Brass in European checklists and is known to be distinct further afield; however, the taxon status of D. stenochrysis in the UK is unclear and I have no reference to confirm the taxon as confirmed as British. You may wish to investigate this with your own colleagues.

Best wishes,
