Micro-moth verification guidelines Based on guidance supplied by Butterfly Conservation for the National Moth Recording Scheme. Guidance authors: Dr John Langmaid, Stephen Palmer, Mark Parsons and Dr Mark Young, January 2016. Reformatted by Martin Harvey. It is possible that errors have crept in when transcribing the data, please let me know if you find any. Original version available from: http://www.mothscount.org/text/73/guidance_notes.html This document expands the abbreviated codes used in the original document, and adds in information on the number of records per species in Berkshire: • ABH code: following Agassiz, Beavan and Heckford (2013) - not yet complete, codes missing for some of the adventives and rare species • Taxon: following Agassiz, Beavan and Heckford (2013) as implemented in the UK Species Inventory • Berks records: number of records on the Berkshire database - includes all life stages, and may include some unverified records • Adult verification: guidance from NMRS • Mine verification: guidance from NMRS • Case verification: guidance from NMRS • Verification notes: guidance from NMRS In the original document, codes are given for the various levels of verification needed – I have expanded those codes into words, which match the original NMRS definitions as follows: ADULT MOTHS NMRS code uncoded

[used for adult nepticulids – the NMRS guidelines do not code these individually as nearly all adults of this family are very similar] Generally distinctive species unlikely to be confused with other species. Usually accept record within documented range and usual occurrence period for the region; otherwise one or more good quality photographs, or possibly a specimen, would be required. Applies to species which will quickly become familiar to those gaining experience in micro-moths. Can be confused with other species. Good quality photographs or possibly a specimen will be required if the recorder is not familiar with the species. If records have previously been submitted and accepted, Category 1 criteria may apply subject to confirmation from your VCR. Worn examples are likely to be unidentifiable unless a specimen is retained for microscopic examination. Very scarce species (includes very scarce adventives/immigrants). A voucher specimen may be required by your VCR (seek advice before releasing the moth). A good set of photographs showing all critical identification features clearly may suffice in some cases. Dissection required. LEAF MINES

NMRS code A

Wording in this document

Full wording in original NMRS guidance

Distinctive

Accept record without the need to see the actual leaf or a good photo.

A/L

Leaf or good photograph preferred Leaf or good photograph required Rear moth, dissection may be needed

-

L R

Either the leaf or a good photograph required. Moth needs to be reared and, in some cases, possibly dissected. LARVAL CASES

NMRS code C1

Wording in this document

Full wording in original NMRS guidance

Distinctive

Same as Adult Category 1.

C2

Good photo or case and plant/pabulum required Photo or case and plant/pabulum plus bred moth required Photo or case and plant/pabulum plus dissected moth required

A good quality photo or specimen of the case and plant/pabulum is required.

C3

C4

A good quality photo or specimen of the case and plant/pabulum and the bred moth is required.

As in C3 and the moth requires dissection.
