[It is possible that records from Herm and Sark, also some of the records listed before 1962 may refer to 

 lonicerae subspecies lonicerae, particularly those which have no month mentioned, also those which are 

 dated from July and August. This can only be confirmed by tracing and re-examining voucher specimens 

 from these records and checking the full data of their individual labels].
