Re: New moth species required

Charles,

There seems to be some confusion as to the correct spelling of the species name!

UK sites seem to use "hylaeiformis" which I believe is from MapMate but some European websites are using "hylaeformis".

It seems the correct spelling is the FORMER (per the European Lepidoptera checklist) and not as I requested.

Apologies,
Les.
