 DIORYCTRIA Zeller, 1846 



sylvestrella (Ratzeburg, 1840) Splendid Knot-horn 



Jersey - 1 specimen taken in St. Martin, St. Catherine, 3 1 . vii. 1 999, R. Long, dissected by B. Goater, 



identification confirmed by M. Shaffer, [BMNH]; R. Long, 2000(27 ):562; M.[S.] Parsons & S. Clancy,

 Note: The species was removed from the British List (Shaffer, 1966:20-26) when it was shown that 

 previous records from England were misidentifications of abietella. It was eventually returned to the 

 British List when specimens were finally taken in 1999 in Kent and 2001 in Dorset and Sussex; earlier 

 records from 1995 and 1997 in Kent, from 1997 in Cambridgeshire and from 2001 in Suffolk were later 

 discovered in private collections where they had been previously misidentified and could now be 

 confirmed as sylvestrella.
