Description:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Based on just over 517,000 records for Ireland, 501 of the 578 species of macro-moths (Lepidoptera) on the Irish list are evaluated for their conservation status using International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria (IUCN, 2012). Forty-three species of Irish macro-moth are assessed as threatened, which is 8% of the current Irish list, with another 24 (4%) assessed as Near Threatened or Data Deficient. Fourteen species of macro-moth are considered to have become Regionally Extinct as they had not been recorded in the 50 years prior to 31 December 2012. The remaining species are all assessed as being of Least Concern.Of the 78 species that were not assessed, 37 are migrants, eight are considered adventive, 15 were recorded for the first time in Ireland in the ten years prior to 31 December 2012 and the status of 18 species on the Irish list is to be reviewed.
