The additional label "Type verloren" [type lost] is pinned under the identification label "  Acronicta succedens". Probably all specimens from the type series are lost. However, all examined specimens agree well with the original description and illustration given by Draudt (1937). We synonymize  A. succedens( syn. n.) with  A. lilacinaby comparison of the series of specimens from collection of ZFMKand original description of  A. succedenswith the photograph of the holotype  Acronicta lilacina, published by Krusek and Behounek (1996). Due to misidentification the species was incorrectly illustrated and reported for Chinaby Chen (1982)as  Acronicta subpurpurea(Matsumura, 1926).   Distribution. China( Shaanxi, Hunan, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Yunnan), North Thailand.
