Sark - noted as fairly common, 9-14. vii. 1906, W.A. Luff, 19()7a(5):192 {recorded as Crambus hortuellus, Hb. }. 



Guernsey - larvae discovered in certain dwelling houses in x.1935, noted that in America these larvae cause 

 considerable damage to grassland where they are known as Corn Web Worms; [for a number of 

 reasons, this appears to be a highly ambivalent record; 1, 1935 might be a misprint for 1953; 2, 

 their presence inside dwelling houses suggests a gross misidentification; 3, the species hortuellus 

 is not recorded from North America; 4, the name Corn Web Worm applies to the North 

 American species Neodactria caliginosellus (Clemens, I860)], P.J. Girard, 1953(15):168 {recorded 

 as Crambus hortuellus}.
