So, for example, with my "obscure moth", I might add a short note saying "this is an Australian species which is introduced in N.Z., and the only records currently diplayed on the map are mine from around Auckland". I might also give a link to more and better information (e.g. http://naturewatch.org.nz/listed_taxa/5234742)

If, as I have suggested to Rod in private email, he includes material
from (or links to) Wikipedia and Wikidata, the less-anecdotal,
sourced,  facts can be added to the former. [As It is, I did so
earlier today, for the species in question, and have just added your
new source as a citation].
