Beach plum,    Prunus   maritima    Marshall, 1785 not Wangenh., 1787 (  Rosaceae  ), currently under development as a potential crop, represents an under-acknowledged host plant for several   Lepidoptera   that have undergone declines in the northeastern USA. The Coastal Heathland Cutworm,    Abagrotis   nefascia    (Smith, 1908), and the Dune Noctuid,    Sympistis   riparia    (Morrison, 1875), are unrelated species of psammophilic noctuines (  Lepidoptera  :   Noctuidae  ) regularly encountered on a localized basis in coastal southern New England and New York, and whose precise life history requirements are undocumented. We inferred and, based on field observation and rearing, corroborated beach plum as a larval host for these species in Massachusetts; the plant’s role in sustaining other moths with limited or contracting regional distributions is discussed.    Sympistis   riparia   , belonging to a widely distributed complex of closely related species, has been associated specifically with both maritime and freshwater dunes. The eastern populations of    Abagrotis   nefascia    represent a conspicuous range disjunction, separated from the nearest western populations by more than 2000 miles, and originally described by Franclemont asrace   benjamini   of    A.   crumbi   , both later synonymized with    A.   nefascia   . Following examination of types and other material, an evaluation of putatively diagnostic features from both the original description and our own observations, genitalic characters, and the results of provisional barcode analyses,    Abagrotis   benjamini    Franclemont,  stat. rev. , is elevated to the rank of a valid species rather than representing eastern populations of    Abagrotis   nefascia    (=crumbi   ) to which it originally referred.

Two psammophilic noctuids newly associated with beach plum,    Prunus   maritima    (  Rosaceae  ): The Dune Noctuid (   Sympistis   riparia   ) and Coastal Heathland Cutworm (   Abagrotis   benjamini   ) in Northeastern North America (  Lepidoptera  ,   Noctuidae  )
