Devon Moth Lookup Table
- 2024 Update


The Devon Moth Lookup Table (Lookup Table or DMLT for short) is a special spreadsheet to help people record their moth sightings. Its aims are:

  • To simplify the process of entering data from moth sightings.
  • To provide moth record data in the form needed by the county moth recorder.
  • To check the moth’s name and correct it if necessary – for example it may have changed genus or there may be a spelling mistake.
  • To allow moth name entry in various forms.
  • To show Butterfly Conservation’s gradings for micromoths which indicate the ease of accurate identification and any proof required.
  • To give other relevant information.

A User Guide explains how the DMLT can be used and how it operates.

The new 2024 version 10 incorporates vernacular micromoth names as used in the new field guide by Phil Sterling and Mark Parsons. It also adds a few new taxa (eg The Salsovian Eremohadena chenopodiphaga) and corrects a few minor errors.

Available versions of the table are :
