County
National distribution at a Vice County (VC) level for each species can be found on the Moths Count website - see https://butterfly-conservation.org/moths/moth-resources-and-downloads/micro-moth-distribution-maps. This is not being updated at present so if more detailed and up to date information on the VC status of any Gelechiid species is required please contact the Gelechiid Recording Scheme organiser (details in Contacts above).
Information relating to new Vice County records and significant updates of historical records are published annually in the Entomologist’s Record and Journal of Variation, Microlepidoptera Review, most recently by Tony Davis and George Tordoff. These references are being added to and will all, eventually, be shown below.

A few VC records shown on the maps in the Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland Vol 4 (2) have subsequently been found to be based on misidentifications or were added accidentally in error. These are:
- Aproaerema taeniolella (VC101)
- Gelechia turpella (VC5)
- Scrobipalpa artemisiella (VC100)
- Caryocolum proxima (VC66)
- The map for Aristotelia subdecurtella (page 100) is the wrong map, the species only having been noted from a few sites in East Anglia
