15 July 2009 - Links from known host plant species to NBN distribution maps added for all Hymenoptera Links have been added from known host plant species to NBN interactive distribution maps, where they exist, for all species of Hymenoptera. For species of sawflies without NBN distribution maps, these host plant species distribution maps will inform the user of the potential range of the sawfly. Where both sawfly and host species maps exist, these highlight just how few sawfly records are recorded by the NBN relative to the numbers of host species records, particularly where the sawfly is monophagous (recorded on a single host plant species). Additionally the host distribution maps provide location information on where the sawfly might be sought. 14 July 2009 - Links from known host plant species to NBN distribution maps added for all Coleoptera Links have been added from known host plant species to NBN interactive distribution maps, where they exist, for all species of Coleoptera. For species of beetles without NBN distribution maps, these host plant species distribution maps will inform the user of the potential range of the beetle. Where both beetle and host species maps exist, these highlight just how few beetle records are recorded by the NBN relative to the numbers of host species records, particularly where the beetle is monophagous (recorded on a single host plant species). Additionally the host distribution maps provide location information on where the beetle might be sought. 8 July 2009 - Additional links to the Lepidoptera Dissection Group website added. Additional links have been added, where they exist, to the images of male and female gentitalia on the Lepidoptera Dissection Group's website. Where the male or female genitalia are not currently illustrated by the Lepidoptera Dissection Group, there is an option to check for updates in the event that an illustration has been added subsequent to posting the moth species page on this website. 14 June 2009 - Links added for illustrated adults in UKMoths Links have been added for illustrated adults in UKMoths, where they exist. Where an adult moth is not currently illustrated in UKMoths, there is an option to check for updates in the event that an illustration of an adult has been added to UKMoths subsequent to posting the moth species page on this website. 09 June 2009 - Links from known host plant species to NBN distribution maps added for all Diptera Links have been added from known host plant species to NBN distribution maps, where they exist, for all species of Diptera. For species of flies without NBN distribution maps, these host plant species distribution maps will inform the user of the potential range of the fly. Where both fly and host species maps exist, these highlight just how few fly records are recorded by the NBN relative to the numbers of host species records, particularly where the fly is monophagous (recorded on a single host plant species), e.g. Holly leaf miner and Holly. Additionally the host distribution maps provide location information on where the fly might be sought. 15 May 2009 - Links to the Lepidoptera Dissection Group website added. Links have been added, where they exist, to the images of male and female gentitalia on the Lepidoptera Dissection Group's website. 11 December 2008 - Database updated. Image and caption mis-alignments in Keys and on Species pages in the back-end database on the Museum's server were corrected. Additions to the synonymy of Parna apicalis were made to both the Museum and this version. I am grateful to Rob Edmunds for bringing these to my attention. The database on the Natural History Museum's server was updated to incorporate these corrections and additions. The website at www.ukflymines.co.uk/ will be redirected to www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/research/projects/british-insect-mines/index.html early next year. 11 November 2008 - Museum website version went live The Museum website version went live on 11 November at www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/research/projects/british-insect-mines/index.html. 27 October - Coleoptera - Orchestes calceatus treated as a distinct species Alonso-Zarazaga in Fauna Europaea treats Orchestes calceatus (Germar, 1821) as a junior synonym of Orchestes testaceus (Müller, 1766) following Anderson (1989). According to Morris in Duff (2008) Orchestes calceatus Germar, 1821 on Betula pubescens is distinct from Orchestes testaceus (Müller, 1766) on Alnus in Britain. 21 Ocotober - Coleoptera - More weevils added Three more mining weevils, Orthochaetes insignis, Rhamphus subaeneus and Hadroplontus litura have been added to the Checklist, Index and Species pages along with their known host plants and distribution. I am grateful to Michael Morris for drawing my attention to these ommisions. [This data has yet to be updated on the Museum's website]. 17 October - Coleoptera - Ceutorhynchus contractus added. The polyphagous British weevil, Ceutorhynchus contractus (= minutus) has been added to the Checklist, Index and Species pages and its known host plants (mainly Brassicaceae) and distribution. I am grateful to Carl Farmer for drawing my attention to this ommision. 1 October, 2008 - Diptera - additional host records added from British leafminers Additional host records for flies from British Leafminers were added to this website. 29 September 2008 - Parasitoids and miners - missing original dates of publication added The missing original dates of publication in the lists of parasitoids and their miners and in miner species pages have been added. 28 September 2008 - Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Belgium links added Links to the Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Belgium, where they exist (187 of the 455 moths), have been added to the species pages on this website. The species pages for Caryocolum marmoreum and Spilonota laricana have been updated with information from that source. 12 September 2008 - Interuption to NBN website and web services Neither the NBN Gateway website nor web services will be available on 29th or 30th September, while NBN move the servers, and this could run into the 1st October. In fact, they should be considered 'at risk' for the whole week. NBN don't anticipate any problems but there are a lot of interdependent tasks that all have to go right for NBN to meet this schedule. As a consequence the NBN distribution maps embedded in this website will not appear on species pages during the move and species pages formerly with maps will take longer to download. 12 September 2008 - Data and images All data and images included in this website were submitted to Natural History Museum, as an Access database, to make it available online on the Museum's website next month. Prior to submission all Access data was checked and, where necessary, updated. Most of the changes are host plants added to or removed from the keys. 3 September 2008 - Host plant common names added - Coleoptera and Hymenoptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to all species pages of Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. 1 September 2008 - Host plant common names added - Lepidoptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to the remining 72 species pages of Lepidoptera alphabetically from Stigmella aceris to Xenolechia aethiops. 31 August 2008 - Host plant common names added - Lepidoptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to a further 79 species pages of Lepidoptera alphabetically from Phyllonorycter acerifoliella to Stephensia brunnichella. 30 August 2008 - Host plant common names added - Lepidoptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to a further 84 species pages of Lepidoptera alphabetically from Elophila nymphaeata to Phyllocnistis xenia. 29 August 2008 - Host plant common names added - Lepidoptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to a further 80 species pages of Lepidoptera alphabetically from Coleotechnites piceaella to Elachista utonella. 25 August 2008 - Host plant common names added - Lepidoptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to 142 species pages of Lepidoptera alphabetically from Acrocercops brongniardella to Coleophora wockeella. 19 August 2008 - Host plant common names added - Diptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to the remaining 228 species pages of Diptera alphabetically from Melanagromyza aenea to Trypeta zoe. 10 August 2008 - Host plant common names added - Diptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to 154 species pages of Diptera alphabetically from Chromatomyia primulae to Liriomyza virgo. 4 August 2008 - Index to 'miner' species names added A list of all 'miner' species alphabetically by species name has been added. This includes all genus/species combinations and junior synonyms included on this website. For users unsure of the genus/species combination or family assignment used on this website this should provide a quicker way of locating 'miner' species. 29 July 2008 - Additional host plant images and links Additional host plant images have been added to the host plant pages and links to host plant images have been added to the Scientific name and Common name indexes. 15 July 2008 - Host plant common names added - Diptera Host plant common names, where they exist, have been added to 152 species pages of Diptera alphabetically from Acidia cognata to Chromatomyia periclymeni. 4 July 2008 - Additional NBN Gateway grid maps - Diptera and Lepidoptera An additional 9 NBN Gateway grid maps, overlooked earlier, have been embedded in species pages using iframes - Cerodontha biseta, Cerodontha bohemani, Liriomyza infuscata, Melanagromyza pubescens, Napomyza elegans, Phytobia errans, Phytomyza albipennis, Botanophila striolata [Dptera], Cedestis gysseleniella [Lepidoptera]. NBN grid maps (where they exist - 74 of 76 species) have been embedded in species pages using iframes (see below) for all Coleophora species. The total number of NBN Gateway grid maps embedded in species pages on this website is 693 out of the 970 species included here. 23 June 2008 - An additional British species of Coleoptera added Orchestes testaceus [Curculionidae], a leaf miner on Alnus and Betula was added to this site. 11 June 2008 - Additional British species of Lepidoptera added Phyllocnistis ramulicola [Gracillariidae] a stem miner on Salix, a new species described from Britain and Portugal, was added to this site. Bucculatrix ulmifoliae [Bucculatricidae] a miner on Ulmus, recorded new to Britain in 2006, was added to this site. 11 June 2008 - An additional British species of Hymenoptera added Parna apicalis [Tenthredinidae] a miner of Tilia, recorded new in Britain in 2007 was added to this site. 11 June 2008 - National Leafmining Lepidoptera Scheme maps External links to the National Leafmining Lepidoptera Scheme maps in British leafminers (where they exist) have been added to species pages for the Lepidoptera (202 0f 455). The National Leafmining Lepidoptera Scheme is run by Rob Edmunds who welcomes your leafminer records. The maps, which are gifs, are generated using Alan Morton's MapMate and include a far greater number of records (currently nearly 160,000) than the NBN Gateway for the leafmining Lepidoptera. 10 June 2008 - NBN Gateway grid maps - Lepidoptera NBN grid maps (where they exist) have been embedded in species pages using iframes (see below) for all Lepidoptera alphabetically except Coleophora species. 6 June 2008 - NBN Gateway grid maps - Coleoptera and Hymenoptera NBN grid maps (where they exist) have been embedded in species pages using iframes (see below) for Coleoptera (30 of 30 species) and Hymenoptera (12 of 24 species). 5 June 2008 - NBN Gateway grid maps - Diptera Inspired by Jim Bacon's article in NBNNews (Spring 2008, Issue 36) entitled 'NBN Distribution Maps Made Easy', grid maps (where they exist - 213 of 461 species) have been embedded in the relevant Diptera species pages using iframes. Users should be aware that the maps are not exhaustive and other records exist or probably exist for most species. However, since the maps are dynamic, each time a new record is added to the NBN Gateway the maps are automatically updated. The pages on this website are currently generated using HTML without cascading style sheets, so the font style and size of the text in the embedded grid maps is different from the font style and size used for this website. Once migrated to the Museum's website, font size and style will be consistent. Please note that if instead of an NBN grid map, an error message is diplayed as follows:
The reason will be that the NBN grid map service on Biologcial Records Centre server is currently unavailable, as the taxon version keys (the unique taxon codes used by NBN) have all been verified. You should still be able to access the NBN interactive distribution map from the link following the list of Vice Counties since this is based on a different server. 3 June 2008 - NBN Gateway Watsonian Vice Counties - Lepidoptera - Phylloporia bistrigella to Xenolechia aethiops The distribution in Britain by Watsonian Vice County as listed in the NBN Gateway has been added for all remaining species of Lepidoptera where it exists (91 of the 97 species).

Usage of such data reproduced on this site is also subject to these Terms and Condition. The external links given in the 'Distribution in Britain' section on this website for these Lepidoptera species to NBN Gateway distribution maps have been updated to display the far more useful interactive map rather than the grid map. The NBN Gateway external links given in the 'External Links' section at the foot of each species page of these Leipdoptera on this website, where it exists, on this website has been updated to display the NBN Gateway search results for the taxon in question rather than a distribution map. This allows other features (including taxonomic information) on the NBN Gateway to be explored. 1 June 2008 - NBN Gateway Watsonian Vice Counties - Lepidoptera - Mompha lacteella to Phyllonorycter viminetorum The distribution in Britain by Watsonian Vice County as listed in the NBN Gateway has been added for all species of Lepidoptera alphabetically from Mompha lacteella to Phyllonorycter viminetorum, where it exists (83 of the 94 species).

This allows other features (including taxonomic information) on the NBN Gateway to be explored. 7 May 2008 - Diptera species - External Hyperlinks to Bladmineerders van Europa (formerly Nederlandse bladmineerders) Willem Ellis is currently updating the Bladmineerders van Europa website to include English as well as Dutch. In the course of that process, most of his Diptera species pages have been moved to a new subfolder. This action caused most of the external hyperlinks on the Diptera species pages on this website to break. All of the links to on this website to Diptera species pages have now been updated to restore these links. In the course of updating the external links from the Diptera species pages on this website, additional links to pages with images (where they exist) on Bladmineerders van Europa and British Leafminers have been added to the mine description. 31 March 2008 - Authorship Authorship updated to 'Brian Pitkin, Willem Ellis, Colin Plant and Rob Edmunds' in recognition of their invaluable input to this project. 27 March 2008 - Lepidoptera - Synonymy References to the original name, junior synonyms and subsequent combinations have been added for all Lepidoptera species where a match was found in The Global Lepidoptera Names Index [accessed 20-7 March, 2008].

Additional host genera pages added for non-dipterous miners and host scientific name index updated. Test site renamed as 'The leaf and stem mines of British flies and other insects' by Brian Pitkin and Colin Plant. 11 August 2007 - Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera added to keys Lists of the non-dipterous leaf-miners recorded in Britain are being added under the relevant host genus. The host associations are from the British Leafminers website, combining the lists compiled as a precursor to AIDGAP keys TO LEAF MINERS by Brian Pitkin and Colin Plant and those cited on the individual species pages by Rob Edmunds. The lists include external links (where they exist) to relevant pages on other websites. The linked pages on the British Leafminers and Bladmineerders van Europa websites usually include one or more images of a mine. Together these linked pages should provide a means of identifying the mines of the majority (>70%) of the known non-dipterous leaf-miners recorded in Britain. The linked pages on Fauna Europaea do not include images, but do include classification, synonymy and distribution in Europe and elsewhere. 1 July 2007 - Test version launched Test version was launched as 'The leaf and stem mines of British flies' by Brian Pitkin. |
