IBa020 Athetis reclusa?

IBa020 Athetis reclusa?

03 Oct 2014 2 291
Noctuidae, Noctuinae - Wingspan: 30mm. A non-descript species. A single specimen occurred on the first night's Light Trapping on the 3rd. My thanks to Ryan, below, for suggesting the Genus, and checks in the BoldSystems database shows a specimen very similar in the set listed as Athetis reclusa. However, the postmedial fasciata lines of other examples were slightly crenate, whilst this specimen has smoothly curved lines. Whether this is just a variation in colouring I am not sure.

Erebidae, Arctiinae - Wingspan: 30mm. Somewhat like a "Footman" species, this species has been difficult to identifiy. Although web pictures seem to imply that it is a member of the Monosyntaxis Genus, no illustration is exactly like this single specimen which came to our Light Trap on the 4th.

Noctuidae - Wingspan: 32mm. Another non-descript species which isn't easy to identify. My thanks to Ryan for suggesting the Genus. However there are a large number of species in this particular designation, so I have to look in more detail if I can determine the species name. A single specimen occurred on the 4th at the Light Trap.
