 1865:xii, the species is deleted from the Jersey list); & paper read in 1882, though no island was listed 

 in Ansted & Latham, Luff stated that in his opinion the entry was referring to Guernsey [Bailiwick] 

 with Sark mixed in, and that as the species is apparently not recorded from Guernsey, the record must 

 apply to Sark, [ as had later been observed, there was no record for the island of Guernsey until 1965],

 for this species distribution], R. Long, 1970(21 ):247.
