Abstract
Strongly variable gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV continues to be detected by AGILE from a source positionally consistent with the Crab Nebula. After a telemetry gap that AGILE experienced on April 14, 2011 (in partial coincidence with the strong gamma-ray flare reported by Fermi-LAT in ATel # 3284) the AGILE-GRID detected the following gamma-ray flux above 100 MeV (pulsar plus nebula) MJD=55666.44-55667.44, 2011-04-15 10 40 UT - 2011-04-16 10 38 UT, F = (19.6 3.7) 10^{-6} ph/cm2/sec.
