    Lemme give it a shot before our resident moth expert comes in...

    Erebus ephsesperis ? (at least I hope I've got the genus correct)

    Hi SK & JW,

    pretty much on the money - genus (Erebus) spelled (or is that spelt?) correctly, and one too many "s"es in ephesperis.

    AS to the taxonomic placement, that's another matter. For the time being in Catocalinae, though don't know whether to use Erebidae or Noctuidae nowadays.

    cheers,

    Roger.
