Systematic List

Showing just moths (2608 Species) Show all species including butterflies  

This list contains all moth species illustrated on the UKmoths website. The numbers before each entry are checklist numbers. In the main list, there are two numbers beside each species.

The first number is the "new" decimal-style checklist number, corresponding to "A checklist of the Lepidoptera of the British Isles" by Agassiz, D.J.L., Beavan, S.D. & Heckford R.J. 2013, hitherto referred to as the "2013 checklist".

The second number, prefixed with "BF" is the previous "Bradley and Fletcher number", derived from "A Recorder's Log Book or Label List of British Butterflies and Moths" by J.D. Bradley and D.S. Fletcher.

Some species will have "Appendix A" to the right of their listing. This relates to Appendix A of the 2013 checklist, which lists adventive species.

At the end of the main list are Questionable or Doubtful records which is an approximation of Appendix B (Questionable records) of the new checklist, but also contains other records that do not for various reasons have new decimal-style checklist numbers.

Many thanks to Stella Beavan and Bob Heckford for their help in interpreting the new checklist.
