[megerlella (Hiibner, 1810) 



Species added to an unpublished checklist of Channel Island Lepidoptera compiled by C. David as part of 

 a proposed work by R. Brehaut, R. Long & C. David. The coding 'aaO' was used, referring to Ansted & 

 Latham, 1862, as the source of the record for this species, but this name is not listed in the above work. 

 Until the correct reference is known for citing the presence of this species, it is here omitted from the 

 Channel Island fauna]
