Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains, -

Guide to the Milkweeds of New York City Asclepias
Guide to the Milkweeds of New York City Asclepias – Milkweed Description: Perennial herbs from thick roots or deep rhizomes, the whole plant usually producing a white, sticky sap. Leaves usually opposite, sometimes alternate or whorled. Flowers in rounded umbels. Fruits inflated pods with many plumed seeds. Where Found: Asclepias is an American genus comprising approximately 100 species; most occur in grasslands and woodland openings caused by disturbances such as high winds or fire. In New York City, eleven wild species have been documented. Today, three species are common, four are extinct and the rest are rare or infrequent. Natural History: Milkweed flowers are some of the most complex in the plant kingdom and like orchids, they evolved elaborate structures to ensure cross-fertilization. The sepals are small and usually hidden by the petals which may resemble sepals because they are the lowermost visible floral organs and are usually less brightly colored than the rest of the flower. Above the petals are structures called hoods, which are usually rigid, boat-shaped and brightly colored, often contrasting with the drooping petals below. It is the hoods that hold the nectar. Arising from the base of each hood is a horn that either projects above the hoods or not. Together the hoods and horns are termed the Corona. Normally the stamens of a flower are attached near the base of the petals, but in Milkweeds (and orchids), the stamens are highly elaborated into specialized structures called Pollinaria. These are attached to the stigma in the center of the flower. The ovary of the flower is Asclepias syriaca - Common Milkweed Holmgren et al., 1998. -

EENY479 Black and yellow lichen moth (suggested common name) Lycomorpha pholus (Drury) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini)1 Clare Scott2 Introduction The black and yellow lichen moth, Lycomorpha pholus (Drury), is a member of the subfamily Arctiinae, tiger moths and woolly bears. The common names of the subfamily refer to the bright wing color patterns found in adults and the long setae covering many of its caterpillars. Figure 2. The banded woolly bear caterpillar, Pyrrharctia isabella (Smith). Credits: Whitney Crenshaw, Colorado State University, Bugwood.org Tiger moths are found in all of the zoogeographical regions (six geographical divisions of the world that are used to study the occurrence of land animals) including the Ne- arctic (North America). However, they are most common in the Neotropics (Mexico south of the Tropic of Cancer, Central and South America, and the West Indies) (Scoble 1995). Species found in Florida include the bella moth, Figure 1.

Scott 2 To my family whose support throughout this long journey has been invaluable 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research would not have been possible without the support of numerous people and institutions. I would like to acknowledge the support and advice of my major advisor and committee chair, Dr. Marc Branham, and the other members of my graduate committee, Drs. Rebecca Simmons, Jackie Miller, David Reed, and Christine Miller. I would like to thank Drs. Susan Weller and Jennifer Zaspel for giving me the opportunity to participate in their molecular phylogeny of Arctiinae. Furthermore, I wish to acknowledge the National Science Foundation Award DEB#0919185 for the partial financial support of this research. Without the funding Drs. Weller and Zaspel received, the molecular phylogeny of Lithosiini would not have been completed. In addition, the work of Pablo Chialvo, Taylor Wardwell, and Elizabeth Phillippi on this study was invaluable. Pablo helped to amplify the COI and 28S gene fragments and willingly came into the lab on the weekend and holidays to help with this project. Taylor and Elizabeth helped to amplify the CytB and RpS5 gene fragments. In addition, Taylor dealt with submitting all fragments for sequencing. I would like to acknowledge all of the collections listed in Chapters 2-5 for the material that they provided. -

Article XVII.-DESCRIPT'IVE CATALJOGUE OF THE BOMBYCINE MOTHS FOUND WITHIN FIFTY MILES OF NEW YORK CITY. By WILLIAM BEUTENMCrLLER. The present paper constitutes the third part of my work on the Lepidoptera found within a radius of fifty miles of New York City, and relates to the species which have been classed as Bom- bycine Moths. It enumerates I82 species, and should be looked upon as an aggregation of species, rather than a strict classification; the object of the work being to place on record the species found in this region, for the benefit of those who are interested in the study of our local fauna. The first part of the catalogue, the Butterflies, was puiblished in this Bulletin in I893 (Vol. V, pp. 24I-3IO), and the second part, the Hawk-moths, in I895 (Vol. VII, pp. 275-320). For obvious reasons no de- scriptions of the genera have been given in this paper, but with the aid of the illustrations most of them can be readily iden- tified. The measurements are given in millimeters (25 mm.= i inch), and the segments or joints of the caterpillars have been numbered separately, beginning with the one behind the head as the first, counting the head as a separate organ. I am under obligation to Dr. H. G. Dyar, Dr. Otto Seifert, Messrs. L. H. Joutel and W. T. Davis for the assistance they have given. Scepsis fulvicollis (Hzibner). PLATE XV, FIG. I3. FEMALE.
