First record ofThe Latin Callopistriajuventina Stoll (Lep.: Noctuidae) in Guernsey On 29 July 1995 I was surprised to find a fresh specimen ofThe Latin in my garden trap as this is the first occasion on which the species has been noted in Guernsey. Heath and Emmet (Eds. 1983. Butterflies ofGreat Britain and Ireland Vol. 10) describe it as being widespread, although local, in southern and central France as far north as Paris, but it is noted to have been spreading northwards since 1930. Laine, M. (1978. Macrolepidopteres de Normandie, Vol. 3) describes it as being rare in Normandy and found in open woodland. Both works give its foodplant as bracken Pteridium aquilinum- P.D.M.

African Grass Blue Zizeeria knysna knysna Trimen (Lep.: Lycaenidae) in Valencia Province, Spain On 10 October 1995 whilst searching for butterflies along the irrigation canal that runs past my local village of Benifayo, Valencia, Spain, I took a single specimen of the African Grass Blue Zizeeria knysna knysna Trimen. I searched the area but found no other examples. Since that date I have found three other specimens in the same area, two females and one male. Several specimens were taken by Caron and Cottrill on the outskirts of Benidorm (Alicante) in May 1963 (Manley and Allcard, A Field Guide to the Butterflies and Burnets ofSpain), but this is the first to be recorded in this area. Higgins and Riley (1977, A Field Guide to the Butterflies ofBritain and Europe. Collins) list subspecies knysna Trimen as being "local in Provinces ofMalaga, Granada, Cadiz and Seville". Benifayo, Valencia is situated on the east coast of Spain approximately 132 kilometres north ofBenidorm and 500 kilometres north-east ofMalaga. - G. Stevens, Urb.
