*No Victorian records, an old reference in Beirne - British Pyralid & Plume Moths, 1952 - "In England north of Norfolk and Staffordshire and in Devon and North Wales". It is unclear if this refers to Norfolk or not? This text was later referenced by Goater - British Pyralid Moths, 1986. National Pyralidae Scheme co-ordinator - Tony Davis in 2009 - "I have no records of margaritella in Norfolk, nor are there any records on the MBGBI vice county maps". Please also note the reference in Manley - British Moths, 2008 - "Locally Common... in Norfolk" is not correct!
