FOREWORD

IntroductionThis, the twelfth edition of the annual Kent Moth Report, is a compilation of those records from the year 2010

that are on the Moth database. It covers some 1,317 species (c.f. 1,382 last year) but is not a complete listing of all moths from Kent, as not all species seen during 2010 will have been reported to the recording team. This is the fifth electronic-only Report in the revised format.

RecordersThis report would not be possible without the records of the following 167 individuals, who have contributed

records for the year 2010. All their efforts are acknowledged with grateful thanks. Here the 2010 recorders are in alphabetical order with codes letters as used in synopsis

Routine commentsSeveral statements that relate to the interpretation of and/or conventions used in preparing this report remain

more or less unchanged from year to year. To save regular readers the drudgery of reading these, they have been transferred to an annex at the end.

Progress on BookBehind the scenes work on creating a team has been successful so the book will now be possible and the draft

macro section has been joined by a draft set of micro moth maps by species, both written by Ian Ferguson from the central database. The effort, patience and skill in writing the Smaller Moths of Surrey has been noted and underlines the need for time to complete the book to a standard we can be proud of.

Kent Lepidopterists GroupThe next meeting of the KLG, an informal group of people interested in moths and butterflies, will be on 3rd

March 2013 at the Best Western Russell Hotel, 136 Boxley Road, Maidstone (TQ 7664 5706) from 1800 hours. All interested are invited to attend.

In January 2012, Tony Davis produced a very useful document called “A Review of the Status of Microlepidoptera in Britain” and this excellent work also gives current latin names and is available for download from Butterfly Conservation main website at www.butterfly-conservation.org/reports The micro moth species in the synopsis have the updated status.

Butterfly Conservation are currently reviewing the conservation status of macros and the data within this and earlier reports will help with that work. So thank you Kent recorders for looking for species in all sort of places and helping to build up a clearer picture of where the species live.

Help in writing 2010KMR

I wish to thank Keith Palmer for detailed observations on dates, leaf mine records and general error spotting; Paul Sokoloff for yet more detailed observations on species, dates and general errors and species advice within the report; Ian Ferguson for organising the species order in the synopsis and the counting of species as well as general error spotting. I would also like to thank all those recorders who kindly replies to my queries on records that seemed to require confirmation. Ben Kirby kindly turned a series of reports files into a completed document and created the PDF for the website

Commentary on 2010 Records of Interest

New to Kent

875a Blastobasis rebeli Discovered by Grant Hazlehurst on 19th July at his Beckenham garden VC 16

Macro Records of note

165 Scarce Forester Still only found in the usual area, 17 were seen by Melanie Wrigley during field surveys: the dates have yet to be confirmed so appear in the synopsis as July

1775 Mottled Grey Again this species has only been recorded once in the year. This time from Denge Wood by David Gardner on 28th April. In 2008 there were 5 records, 5 in 2007, 6 in 2006 but it may be recorder led results not any issue for the moth as the food plants, Bedstraws, are not rare and when doing a lot of early moth events on heaths in Surrey in 2010 David got the moth every time where Bedstraw was to be seen near to the trap.

1793 Cloaked Carpet Another moth that is seen once a year or so at present. This time by Alan Ford at Bough Beech on 5th June. With this being a popular time of year for moth trapping the lack of records may accurately reflect the status of the species in Kent.

1901 Little Thorn A new location and some distance from other places, seen on 17th June by Paul Sokoloff and Martin Jordan at Keston Common, the current main location for records are the Westerham to Maidstone heathy soils but previous books on moths in East Kent have woodland locations in various places in the Ashford to Sandwich area.

1915 September Thorn A moth that has seen periods of regular sightings followed by years of none, however it is quite regularly seen across the border in Surrey. This record was by Andrew Millar, the location being Hayes on 15th August.

1937a Feathered Beauty This moth is regularly seen at Hamstreet, this record is from Alan Cooper at Burnt Oak Wood on 4th July 2034 Gypsy Moth Another Hamstreet area sighting of interest, this time a Gypsy Moth from Ruckinge seen by Bernard Boothroyd on 21st August. Most likely this one was an incoming migrant rather than a wandering local.

2114 Double Dart Thirteenth Dungeness area since 1990 date and first since 2000. Found at New Romney on 7th July by Andy and Margaret Tebbs

2348 Lyme Grass A wander from Rye as previous sighting have been assumed or something more interesting? This one was seen by Francis Solly at Kingsgate on 20th June. Previous record was actually from Grain in 1998 but the other recent ones at all Dungeness, 7th Kent record overall

Micro Records of note

132 Incurvaria praelatella This moth is apparently hardly ever seen with only Alan Cooper recording it from Burnt Oak Wood in the Hamstreet complex on 16th June as , In the last six years the only other recorded locations have been elsewhere in the complex and an adult at Hadman's Bridge near to Smarden.

218 Nemapogon variatella Two found at Nackholt Wood in different traps by David Gardener on 24th June the 4th and 5th Kent records, previously seen by Tim Freed in 2004

296 Calybites phasianipennella Found on 4th August by Grant Hazlehurst in his Beckenham garden, a new species for West Kent and only the 5th Kent record following two in 2009, both on the shingle.

393 Glyphipterix equitella This long lost species, last seen in 1930 was found by Marcel Ashby while sweeping for beetles in a professional survey in the Grain area on the Hoo Peninsular. The records from Marcel are by month only, in this case June. Rachel Terry formally identified the moth which was male for Marcel and Paul Sokoloff kindly checked with her in view of the rarity and difficulty of identification.

Butterfly Conservation Kent Moth Report 2010

445 Ocnerostoma friesei This little recorded pine feeder has seen at Keston Common by Paul Sokoloff as an adult on 11th May and as larvae on 20th February & 20th May. These are the 8th to 10th Kent records, most previous sightings being recent, 2008 Francis Solly and 2003/5/7 David Gardner

530 Coleophora lixella Seen by Paul Sokoloff at his garden in Green Street Green on 12th July. This may be the 24th Kent record but the first in the area and first since 1980 away from Darland Bank where most modern records are from and third 10km square since 1980.

541 Coleophora pyrrhulipennella 15th and 16th Kent records found by Paul Sokoloff as a case on 20th May and then an adult at light by Paul with Martin Jordan on 28th , both at Keston Common, previous record was from David Gardner at Seal Chart Common in 2007

552 Coleophora lassella Third Kent record and third 10 km square; this one, a male, was found at a moth and bat event at Brogdale by David Gardner and kindly gen det by Graham Collins

580 Coleophora sylvaticella 13th and 14th Kent records seen by Francis Solly flying about Great Wood-rush on 16th and 29th May in East Blean Wood, same location as 2008

599 Elachista alpinella The fourth Kent record was seen at Littlestone-on-Sea golf course by Julian Clarke on 25th July; two of the previous records are from 1985 when John Langmaid saw it at two places in the same 1 km square

602 Elachista apicipunctella Sixth Kent record, seen by Roger Kiddie at Bromhey Farm on the Hoo Peninsula on 25th April, the previous record had been in 2009 at Denge

654 Pleurota bicostella Fifth Kent record found by Ian Ferguson at on 28th July at Birchington first record since 1965 and kindly identified by Jim Porter

773 Pseudotelphusa paripunctella Seen by Paul Sokoloff and Martin Jordan at Keston Common on 20th and 28th May, first area records for a while and an indication we have a consistent population in West Kent at least

1051 Acleris logiana Third East Kent record seen by David Gardner at Park Wood on 15th March, then on 18th

the 4th Kent record, also the first West Kent record by Kevin Button at Framlingham Wood, kindly identified by Norman Hunter

1080 Olethreutes arcuellaTo go with the cover photograph Francis Solly has provided these words:

Although regularly encountered in East Blean in small numbers, this stunningly attractive moth enjoyed a bumper year in 2010. A strip of approximately 100yds produced a peak in excess of 300. It would seem that the moth was an unexpected beneficiary of the management for the Heath Fritillary.

The area on either side of the normally narrow and fairly shaded path had been cut back 1-2 years prior to this and the low bushy regrowth, more luxuriant herbaceous ground cover, together with areas of sun exposed leaf litter seem to have suited this moth. With the rapid regrowth of primarily Sweet Chestnut, the area in 2011 was more shaded with less exposed ground, the moth though present was in more typical numbers. The Drab Looper also increased dramatically as a result of clearance and was also much reduced in 2011.

1208 Pseudococcyx posticana Found by Paul Sokoloff and Martin Jordan at Keston Common on 28th May, the 9th

Kent record and first since 1986, nearest other record is from TQ86

1296 Crambus silvella The second confirmed record for Kent, both have been from from the Dungeness area this one to Phil Beraet at Bolderwall Farm on 31th July Previous confirmed record was By Andy and Margaret Tebbs in 2006.

Leaf mine results of prominenceThis year the number of leaf mine records tumbled from the high of 2009, mainly due to David Gardner not

being very active in this survey method in 2010. However do remember that daytime searching can produce records of species not often encountered by other means. The advent of websites such as ukleafmines.com makes the task a whole lot easier, with illustrations (photos) all in one source and a lot more fun too. Records that stand out are:

Butterfly Conservation Kent Moth Report 2010

87 Stigmella svenssoniPaul Sokoloff has kindly provided advice to help with the identification of this species that we have kept off

the synopsis in the last few years due to provability issuesStigmella svenssoni, like all the oak feeders, difficult to do without taking home and looking under the

microscope for the direction of the early mine, frass pattern, egg and colour of the larva. Very early autumn is best - svenssoni is a big mine, but if the larva has gone Paul does not think there is any hope of reliably pinning this one down.

Paul got the leaf mine at Keston Common, a super site covered in more detail below.

103 Stigmella nylmadriella Found by Paul Sokoloff at on 28th September, this is the 9th Kent record following Francis Solly finding the 8th last year

129 Incurvaria pectinea David Shenton found an astonishing 250 vacated mines on an Alder windbreak at an abandoned orchard in his home village of Aylesham on 29th September, Francis Solly saw an adult on 16th May which is why the synopsis shows one date but a count of 251

Species of concernHere are three species which we would like to highlight this year

1332 Scoparia subfusca – This species is an example of how a book picture can accidentally misguide people, the wording shows it is a much bigger moth than S. ambigualis and all the big Scoparia need to be checked very carefully to see if subfusca is really as common as presented in the synopsis and Kent records generally. Please bring good examples to the next Kent Lepidoptera Group meeting so they can be viewed by several experts. Remember the Rush veneer / nearctica issue in the same book?

1715 Plain Wave – This species is so easily mistaken for a poorly marked example of Riband Wave form remutata that it is highly likely that some records are based on misidentification. It is supposed to be a species of open wood and scrubby heaths and some places where it had been agreed as a species by experts at group trapping are the trap in the wettest place none being seen in the dry locations. The records for Kent do not match these sorts of habitats so do please be careful to check Plain Wave against Riband Wave with out the riband, form remutata. 1826 Triple Spotted Pug – This species is probably actually quite uncommon, and genitalia determinations by Paul Sokoloff has often proved to be disappointing, with Currant Pug often doing duty for this species. A series of genitalia determining of all three spotted pugs found by David Gardner in Surrey requested by and handed in to the Surrey experts produced one actual Triple Spotted Pug. So it is fair to say this is not reliably identify without breeding or dissection (although you can do males by brushing off the scales of the underside abdomen).

Records not included in Synopsis

Various species have been changes and other corrections made during the work to create this report, one of the reasons for doing it this way. Reasons include the usual computer issues and paper misreading, however certain species have been deleted due to the need for confirmation others changed after photographs were supplied. Some other records have been dropped from the synopsis due to unusual dates but will be checked with the recorders in due course.

301 to 307 Parornix species adults not gen det except 305 Parornix scoticella, if the moth is fresh and one can see the white head and fronds with a hand lens.

322 Phyllonorycter muelleriella to David Gardner on 11th September. Provisionally new to Kent in 2008 when he had the adult at light, now he has found the leaf-mine again. There is no particular reason to doubt the moth record but a voucher specimen was not retained for confirmation. So future searches will be to prove the validity. For those who have taken note before, this is not the first year this message has been in the report, such has been the unfortunate lag between finding leaves and getting the reports out.

490 Coleophora lutipennella adult records not accepted without being gen det495 Apple & Plum case Bearer Coleophora spinella as the adults need to be gen det1525 to 1630 Butterflies seen at light, after all this is a moth report

Butterfly Conservation Kent Moth Report 2010

1670 Small Grass Emerald This species would need confirmation1694 Smoky Wave This record has not been confirmed1701 Dotted Border Wave from Upleas Marshes, the next moth found will be checked as the species is

only confirmed from one location and is known generally in the south from rougher parts of heaths as opposed to heather monocultures.

1704 Silky Wave Not a kent species, restricted to Bristol area, if here would need confirmation1831 Ling Pug This would need confirmation, probably by gen det2250 Dark Brocade We have some records form other years but this species would need confirmation

Keston Common

This interesting location has been surveyed for the first time in a major way in 2010 with excellent results. The site is a relic heathland with ancient mounds, pine, birch, heather and grass, gorse, a large pond or two and a good car park It would appear that this relic heathland is still fully functioning as a heath as far as moths go and the total number of species to be found there could be over 500 with many more special ones. There are a handful of earlier records going back to 1986. Here are some photos taken by Ian Ferguson to give you a feel for the location.

Species to highlight include eight species of pug and four footmen as well as very representation of Pine, Oak and heathy species; these species are most worthy form a Kent perspecitive, good leaf mine species are 66 Stigmella sorbi, 87 Stigmella svenssoni, 305 Parornix scoticella; 442 Cedestis gysseleniella and 445 Ocnerostoma friesei are very good pine species. 458 Ypsolopha alpella, 752 Aristotelia ericinella, 771 Carpatolechia alburnella as well as 772 Carpatolechia fugitivella are good heath records. In particular 773 Pseudotelphusa paripunctella is a very good record and hardly ever seen including the adjoining counties so most welcome to gain a new site for it. It may have good years and normally be low in number. 1034 Spatalistis bifasciana is another usful species to find and 1208 Pseudococcyx posticana an excellent pine species. Another of the real stars is 1901 Little Thorn, well away from its know home on the sand at Seal but a valid location as the food plant, Bilberry, is present. Two other good macros were 2135 Heath Rustic and 2292 Tree-lichen Beauty.

Garden Moth SchemeThis scheme has been running in Kent for a few years and a big thank you to all of you taking part. There are

certain effects these records are having on the top 50 tables, certain species are promoted and of course dozen or so GMS recorders appear in the top 50 by records and a different dozen in the top 50 by species, their garden sites are also in the top 50. Do have a look at the GMS website to see the various reports.

For new readers of the report, the GMS is an ongoing project to regularly record some of the common species of moths and, with rapid reporting across the country, to spot trends as they are developing. Every Friday for the 36-week season, participants count their garden trap catch and put the results on a spreadsheet. Every nine weeks recorders are asked to forward this data to the GMS people. A garden questionnaire helps in the assessment of the data across the country see what moths like. A newsletter based on the information received is then sent back to the recorders so they can see how quickly the national picture emerges. Anyone interested should contact David Gardner at ([email protected])

More Detailed Analysis

This year we provide charts to illustrate the records for certain species. These include moths that normally overwinter, some that have significant changes from 2009 and then we look at related species to show how they did. These might create some surprise but may explain what your own recording sessions showed.

18 Map-winged SwiftThe chart below shows the count of moths seen between per year 1980 and 2010 and is for illustrative

purposes not intend for the words to be read as it is normally viewed at full screen. The highest count in 2009 was 19 moths and the 2010 count was 3.

In 2010 there was only one location where the moth was found, Covert Wood near Elham, it was seen by two recorders, David Gardner on 4th June and Julian Clarke on 23rd. Is this moth really rare or is it a habitat issue and mobile light trap recorders shy away from bracken areas? Other species that use this plant also had poor records in 2010, for example, 728 Monochroa cystisella was seen on 5 occasions with 6 moth in 2009 but only once in 2010. Another, Brown-silver Line had a better year than in 2009; 46 records and 176 moths then but in 2010 86 records and 193 moths seen. Could this difference relate to the soil or the sort of bracken banks required or some other aspect we can not see or appreciate at present.

688 Agonopterix heraclianaThis chart shows the count of moths per month with data from 2009 in red and 1010 in green. The

comparable records are 2009, 32 records and 34 moth while in 2010 it was 40 records and 52 moths

692 Agonopterix subpropinquellaThis chart is below the previous one and again show 2009 and 2010 in the same colours, in this case 2009 was

24 records and 28 moths with 20 records and 23 moths in 2010.

In the last paper report that Ian Ferguson wrote, 2004 there were over 100 species that were shown to have overwintered as adults or had a second generation judging by the records however only a small proportion of these showed the same behaviour in 2010, many have no records during the winter months and generations look to have merged to produce an almost daily series of sightings.

1288 Twenty-plume MothThis species has shown the difficulty of comparing years and so predicting what is happening to the general

populations and in turn why when doing talks it takes a while to find a species that says something. Here we have the moth more commonly seen in the early apart of 2009 but the seen later in 2010. Comparing the data 2009 86 records and 111 moths but in 2010 a definite overall drop with 63 records and 70 moths. This is a ratio drop of just under 1.3 moths per record to just over 1.1

1760 Red-green CarpetThis chart shows a general decline the records give as about 14% between 2009 and 2010 however there is a

small period in the peak summer when some moths were reported in 2010 when none were in 2009 and then a few weeks when more were seen than in 2009. At least this species was reported in the autumns of both years and earlier in the spring than many species that overwinter as adults.

1906 Brimstone Moth

Here is a surprise, a moth that did better in 2010 than 2009; did that register with your own trapping? The species started poorer but did better in May and June as well as September and overall had 5% more records and 8% more adults seen.

1950 Brindled White-spot

This species had fewer records but a high count however more interesting is the change in when it was seen between 2009 in red and 2010 in green.

2258 ChestnutClearly visible, the increase in both sightings and number seen is unusual compared with the general trends.

Properly found in both winters the change between the peak months is also striking, as is no records for December 2010. Overall in 2009 there were 109 records with 197 adults and in 2100 it was 157 records and 355 adults. Cheshire reported that between 2002 and 2011 only 16 have been reported before the new year while 147 have after it with three years 2007/8/9 with none seen in the end of the year

Acleris GroupThese two moths, 1053 Acleris hasitana and 1054 Acleris cristana, both overwinter as adults but in 2010 there

were no records to support this, no winter records at all. Was this due to weather? They can cause some confusion but can be told apart with experience. There are normally few records but only one declined from 2009 to 2010. 1053 being 7 Records and 9 moths and in 2010 6 records and 9 moths and for 1054 it was 2009 12 records and 12 moths but only 9 records and 9 moths in 2010.

Agriphila GroupHere we compare 1304 Agriphila straminella and 1305 Agriphila tristella, both common moths but does the

chart display you own experience, with A.straminella being more common earlier and A.tristella the commoner later. It seems that individually we accept that we either see a species or not but combined the records do tell us why, and when the peak really is. Both had a much better 2010 than 2009 with the counts rising by some 20% even through the number of records did not.

Pine Carpets GroupThis pictorial view of the records is for your own observations, however, clearly the Pine Carpet is recorded

less and flies for a shorter period while Spruce Carpet shows a clear generation gap. Does the chart display your own perceptions?

KEY: Red = Pine Carpet, Green = Grey Pine Carpet & Blue = Spruce Carpet

Common Wainscot GroupThis pair, 2198 Smoky Wainscot and 2199 Common Wainscot, are an interesting couple of moths which can

give some concern but does the month chart below show what you would expect? Both had declines from 2009 but not in the way you may think. For Smoky Wainscot 2009 was 165 records and 621 moths but in 2010 while the records went up to 197 the count dropped to 589. For Common Wainscot 2009 was 271 records and 873 moths but in 2010 it was 321 records and a drop to 819 moths. The flight periods do match the books but Smoky is much more concentrated than the Common so perhaps giving a feel of a higher population

Common Rustic Group RecordsComprising of 2343 Common Rustic and 2343a Lesser Common Rustic with the non genitalia determination

option of 2343/a agg this chart is simply to show the proportions offer as records. Very few are actually determined by genitalia but it would still seem that the Lesser Common Rustic is much the rarer of the two species

Uncertain Group Records

Comprising of three species that some recorders have a little trouble with, or all recorders some of the time; 2381 Uncertain, 2382 Rustic and 2383 Vine's Rustic are shown here through their 2010 records, for 2381 it was 360 records and 2958 moths, for 2382, 336 & 1929 for 2383, 499 & 4063 all well up on 2009 by some 50% for records and over 100% for moths seen! The records shown by month do line up well with the stated flight times in books so perhaps our recorders are okay with these species. Perhaps the spring was excellent for these species, either due to weather or lack of parasites and other predators.

National Moth NightThis has been re-started as Moth Night and has its own website at www.mothnight.info/www/ For 2012 it is

planned for 21st to 23rd June, most readers of this report will not see that till afterwards... The theme was Brownfield sites and included requests for both day and night sessions and the involvement of the public as well as fellow enthusiasts. For 2013 it is planned for 8th to 10th August and for 2014 3rd to 5th July, the themes will be announced in due course

Note on RIS dataWe have many concerns with some records from the Rothampsted Insect Survey sites, for example at Sheppey

we had eleven records of Golden Rod Pug which are currently in this report as full records. Also from that site in another year were 28 Dotted Bordered Waves which is very unlikely. Sadly the best person to answer the questions we have on the more than 170,000 records received is no longer on the staff.

Synopsis Just to confirm, the main synopsis at the end of the report shows the adult flight times, unless it is

shown that the records are or a different stage such as case or caterpillar. A separate report on the other stages appears below the tables of species and sites.

To make the synopsis clearer to readers various changes have been tried for 2010. These include layout and names. For first and last sightings by more than one person, a double space indicates they were at different places Sevenoaks and Elham thus IDF DCG. A comma IDF,DCG means that they were at the same session such as Chiddingstone even thought the records were from different 1KM squares they were the same group of trees in different places. IDF had one trap in pine and another trap in oak and DCG had his at a roadside gateway into the wood. A slant such as IDF/DCG means that DCG identified the moth for IDF. If genitalia determination was used this is shown thus GHZ gd

The column with a mix of scientific names and life stages has been replace by life stages only. Some species have generations shown in bold to give better clarification of the flight times, this was done for species with clear gaps in dates. Four species have a date in square brackets; for 2240 Blair's Shoulder-knot [19/06/10 DWJ] the record is right in the middle of the two generations. For the other three the bracketed records are very early as can happen if the recorder is close to a breeding colony rather than seeing fly by moths. For 1745 Mallow the 17/09/10 FS record is the first of the main flight period much later than the PPH record; for 2231 Deep-brown Dart the 14/09/10 SJB record is the next record which coincides with the continuos records For 2232 Black Rustic 08/09/10 PDH is also the next record and again indicates the date the main flight period started. Also over wintering species are shown as two periods spring and autumn. The Pine Beauty second generation record was the only record clearly from a pine wood and was checked at source.

Regular co-recorders name codes have been changed too, so SCl, CSe has become SCCS H&MN HMN and A& MT AMT.

Other Stages Report

Species of concern 83 Stigmella atricapitella 84 S. ruficapitella and 86 S. roborella are under review but until we can settle on

which sort of record we will accept the ones in this report are as sent in. As we become better as a team at understanding the species some may have restrictions lifted other may be tightened

Stages Species are reported asIn reviewing the data there is not yet a consistent way of reporting other stages than adult, particularly the

young stages inside leaves or stems. Caterpillars inside a reed stem or tree for example would be Internal Caterpillars, whilst those inside a leave are Leaf mine caterpillars. The ones on the surface but in a roll or cone could still be that or described as Larval Spinning if no attempt was made to see if the caterpillar was in residence. Also some of the Willow species need to be reviewed but again are included as reported. If you do see Stigmella salicis mines please add a note to say which side [top or bottom] the egg was as there may be two species. Caterpillars one has to open the plant to find are Internal caterpillars.

Routine StatementsThis section covers comments that relate to interpreting this report but remain more or less unchanged from

year to year.

CoverageThe area covered is the Watsonian “vice counties” VC15 (East Kent) and VC16 (West Kent). Broadly

speaking, this covers the present administrative County, the Medway Unitary Authority and the London boroughs of Bromley, Bexley and Greenwich. The advantage of this definition is that it has been in use for over 100 years and remains fixed regardless of changes in political boundaries. The report covers all lepidoptera species except the butterflies, which are the subject of a separate (and more detailed) report by Michael Easterbrook.

Rarity StatusThe national status for each moth, where known, is shown to give an indication of how rare or otherwise the

species is in a national context. The actual definitions used have varied slightly over time and the latest recommended ones, contained in “IUCN Red List Categories: Version 3.1” (2001), places more emphasis on trends in distribution. Alas there are no available listings using these definitions yet. As a broad guide for moths, status is based on their UK distribution measured in terms of occurrence in ten-kilometre squares per the National Grid system as follows (after Shirt, 1987):

RDB 1 = Endangered. Usually in five or fewer ten-km squares.RDB 2 = Vulnerable. Small populations (typically 6 to 14 ten-km squares) and

declining.RDB 3 = Rare. Usually in fifteen or fewer ten-km squares.Na = Notable A. Found in from 16 to 30 ten-km squares.Nb = Notable B. Found in from 31 to 100 ten-km squares.Local = Local. Found in from 101 to 300 ten-km squares.

Everything else is essentially either Common or Unknown. For macro-moths, I have brought the status ratings into line with the book by Waring, Townsend & Lewington, 2003. For micro-moths, we have used an update from Tony Davis who runs the Pyral Recording Scheme and is working on assessing rare moth populations. In this Na & Nb have become Nationally Scarce A or B which has been shortened to NS A or NS B in the synopsis.

Explanation for Electronic Only VersionThe first seven Kent Moth Reports were printed and this is the third “electronic only” version. I hope this

revised format, based on one line per species, continues to meet user needs but it is not set in stone and feedback would be welcome. Not everyone will have ready access to the internet (although libraries are a useful resource) and I am prepared to run off a limited number of copies from my own printer.

The “All 10k” column gives the number of 10km square the species concerned is recorded from in my database for the years 1980 to 2006 inclusive. Thus there may be additional squares included from the 2007 data. The remaining columns show only 2007 data. The records column shows the number of records received and the count column totals all the individuals reported. Where no figure was given, one is assumed. The data is not statistically meaningful as it is provided to me on differing basis but helps to give an overall “feel” for what is going on.

Accuracy of RecordsAs before, I have taken all reasonable care to ensure accuracy of processing of records received but the sheer

volume of data processed means some errors are almost inevitable. Several other people have read through the draft as a quality control check but any errors remaining are mine alone. If anyone noticing any discrepancies would let me know I can correct them in the underlying database and the next KMR as appropriate.

Advice from several sources, including county recorders, is that an increasing number of micros need dissection for reliable identification and the list will be reviewed for 2011 report.

Making the Kent Moth Records availableThe Kent & Medway BRC is used to provide first checks on planning applications as they come into the

various councils in Kent and the Medway area. It is my intention to provide all moth records to the KMBRC after the production of each annual report. This means I will have had an opportunity to look over the data to eliminate obvious errors and confirm unusual records. Publication of an annual report gives recorders themselves a chance to see an over-view of the data. Historical records will also be passed over once a few anomalies (peculiar dates, etc.) have been sorted out. Some data has already been transferred. If anyone providing records has any concerns over this, please get in touch to discuss them; I can if necessary suppress sensitive records for a species/site/recorder, etc. The National Macro-moth Recording scheme, known as Moths Count, is based at the Butterfly Conservation headquarters. It is my intention to pass over the Kent moth records to Moths Count on a similar basis as to the KMBRC.

Some records by Pete Maton (Pma) were stated, accidentally, as being recorded by Pat Martin (PMn). These include The Tissue and a late record of Oak Lutestring.
