 1888(21):151. 



Jersey - listed by F.P. Johnson & F.G. Piquet, in, D.T. Ansted & R.G. Latham, 1862; & 1865:226 {recorded as 

 Anthrocera filipendulae); & W.A. Luff, 1909b(5):488 {recorded as Zygaenafdipendulae, L. }. 



Sark - noted as frequent [dates not given], W.A. Luff, 1873a(6):352; & 1890b(l):158 {recorded as Zygaena 

 filipendulae}. 



Guernsey - specimen[s? taken?], 20.vi.-4.vii. 1892, A.J. Hodges, 1892(3):157 {recorded as Zygaena 

 filipendulae}. 



Alderney - listed, not stated as to whether seen or taken, 1897, F.A. Walker, 1897(30):223. 



Jersey - specimens taken, 1928 or 1929, A.C. Halliwell, 1930([11?]):210 {recorded as Zfygaena] filipendulae} . 



Jersey - noted as common all round the coast, A.C. Halliwell, 1940a(14):23 {recorded as Zygaena filipendulae} . 



Alderney - noted as common in July and August in colonies on sandy areas, especially on the old rifle butts at 

 Longy, larvae feeding on vetches [incorrect, foodplant would have been Lotus spp.] with the cocoons 

 conspicuous on grass stems, R.B. Freeman, 1976a[ll]:4. [Apart from the mention made by Walker 

 in 1897, this species had never been recorded in Alderney before, or after 1976 and its continued 

 presence still awaits confirmation (pers. comm. M.-L. Mendham via R. Long, 29.iii.1999). 

 Freeman, who was a lecturer in Entomology at University College, London, was not necessarily a 

 lepidopterist; it might therefore be assumed that he was confusing Z. filipendulae with Z. trifolii 

 subspecies subsyracusia which is known to occur on the island. The description he gives of the 

 cocoons being conspicuous on grass stems conforms with the known biological behaviour of both 

 species. Freeman's identification could have been correct. The lack of records from Alderney 

 could seemingly suggest there has been insufficient daytime collecting carried out, plus instances 

 of inaccurate field identifications.]. 



Jersey - specimen taken in St. Brelade, Ouaisne Common, 1 1 . vii. 1 990, A.C. Warne; [pers. comm.]. 



Herm - specimens seen at Shell Beach, 28-30. vii. 2003, D.J. Wedd; [pers. comm. from P.D.M. Costen, via P. 

 Heyworth]. [note: Z. lonicerae lonicerae is present on Herm from June to July and is found all 

 over the low common which is adjacent to Shell Beach; verification is required of the record by 

 Wedd in late vii.2003 of Z. filipendulae}

adults usually emerging towards end of June [1873?], W.A. Luff, 1875 (8):29-30 {recorded as Zygaena 



trifolii (correcting identification for same specimens)}; 1890b(l):157.

taken by Luff [dates not given], W.A. Luff, 1875(8):29-30{ recorded as Zygaena trifolii (correcting 



identification for same specimens)}; 1890b(l):157. 

 Herm - noted large numbers of cocoons on 30. vii. 1 874, adults emerging during following two weeks, with one 



late emergence on ll.viii.1874, W.A. Luff, 1875(8):30; & 1890b(l)^: 157-158 ^{recorded as Zygaena 



trifolii}. [it is likely that these records were of lonicerae].

 {recorded as Zygaena trifolii palustris}. [it is likely that these records were of lonicerae] 



Jersey - noted as common near the coast, W.A. Luff, 1909b(5):488 {recorded as Zygaena trifolii, Esp.}; & 

 [possibly the record referred to as lonicerae], A.C. Halliwell, 1940a(14):23 {recorded as Zygaena
