N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

There are Dentons in various parts of Britain - Divers only other H@H specimen is from Twickenham

Denton Lincs likely, on Leics boundary; other Divers specimens have now appeared, inc 2 previous month, from nearby Vale of Belvoir
