Data was collated from a number of sources. Published records were abstracted from entomological journals such as the Entomolgists Record, Entomologists Gazette and Entomologists Monthly Magazine, along with data from various county lists. Data from specimens held at the Natural History Museum (London), the Hope Collection (Oxford), the British Entomological & Natural History Society and private collections are included. There are a number of specimens belonging to W.W. Fowler still in collection, but notebooks giving details of the collection data relating to these specimens has been lost, so they cannot be included. The collation of these records was undertaken by the dataset administrator.
