9 Species have been added to the site this month - bringing the total presented to 1576 species.
August started, as July ended, in Cumbria with two trapping sessions at Cliburn Moss; later I returned to Essex and did trapping sessions at Pound Wood and on Foulness Island. 4 new species identified from these sessions have not yet been added to the site and will follow in September.
Also this month I have written a page on separation of Spilonota species.
I have doubts about whether any external or genital feature reliably separates Eucosma aemulana from E.tripoliana - if anyone believes they know how this can be done, or feels able to confirm or refute my identification of E.aemulana, I would be pleased to hear from you.
