Re: New micro-moth statuses

Our county moth group tell me that Butterfly Conservation have just published a new review of the status of British microlepidoptera (reference below).

I was curious to understand the process and timescales involved in reflecting these status changes in the R6 taxon dictionary. Presumably BC will send this document to the NHM, but I'm not familiar with how this ends up being reflected in R6 from there.

Can anyone help to fill me in?
