Charles,

In the "Moths Count Newsletter 2008 on page 09 there is an article entitled "Additions to the British list from 2000 onwards" by Mark Parsons of Butterfly Conservation.  The following moth names contained within the article are currently missing from the Dictionary - could they please be added asap:

Bradley No.  Common Name           Scientific Name             First Date

384a                           -                    Paysandisia archon            2002
1921a          Dusky Scalloped Oak   Crocallis dardoinaria           2006
1965a          Common Forest Looper Pseudocoremia suavis      2007
2058a          Patton's Tiger               Hyphoria testudinaria          2005
2309            Latreille's Latin             Methorasa latreillei             2006

                    Ramie Moth                  Arcte coerula                     2000

Also a common name of "Langmaid's Yellow Underwing" needs adding to the species entry for Noctua janthina which was taken in 2001 at Southsea, Hampshire.
