Complex Noctua janthina Bromley The lesser broad-bordered yellow underwing or Langmaid's yellow underwing (Noctua janthina) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed throughout southern and central Europe, and southern Sweden. Noctua janthina Like other members of its genus this species has bright orange-yellow hindwings but as the common name suggests the black sub-terminal bands are very broad and account for about half the area of the hindwings. The forewings are more cryptically marked but are generally more attractively marked than in its congenators, variegated in shades of buff and purplish-brown. The wingspan is 34–44 mm (1.3–1.7 in). This species can only be separated from Noctua janthe and the disputed Noctua tertia by examination of the genitalia. See Townsend et al.[2]

Clancy's Rustic Caradrina kadenii Bromley 73.093 BF2387a (Freyer, [1836]) Wingspan c.30mm. This species, unknown in Britain until 2002 when one turned up in Kent, has since become a fairly regular arrival in southern moth-trapping localities. In September and October 2005 dozens were recorded at Dungeness, Kent. The species resembles Pale Mottled Willow Caradrina clavipalpis in general appearance and build, but is plainer, with a distinct reddish-brown reniform stigma. The species has been given the vernacular name Clancy's Rustic after Sean Clancy, who caught the first individual in 2002.
