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,

  • Effects of Prescribed Fire and Fire Surrogates on Pollinators and Saproxylic Beetles in North Carolina and Alabama
    EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FIRE SURROGATES ON POLLINATORS AND SAPROXYLIC BEETLES IN NORTH CAROLINA AND ALABAMA by JOSHUA W. CAMPBELL (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT Pollinating and saproxylic insects are two groups of forest insects that are considered to be extremely vital for forest health. These insects maintain and enhance plant diversity, but also help recycle nutrients back into the soil. Forest management practices (prescribed burns, thinnings, herbicide use) are commonly used methods to limit fuel build up within forests. However, their effects on pollinating and saproxylic insects are poorly understood. We collected pollinating and saproxylic insect from North Carolina and Alabama from 2002-2004 among different treatment plots. In North Carolina, we captured 7921 floral visitors from four orders and 21 families. Hymenoptera was the most abundant and diverse order, with Halictidae being the most abundant family. The majority of floral visitors were captured in the mechanical plus burn treatments, while lower numbers were caught on the mechanical only treatments, burn only treatments and control treatments. Overall species richness was also higher on mechanical plus burn treatments compared to other treatments. Total pollinator abundance was correlated with decreased tree basal area (r2=0.58) and increased percent herbaceous plant cover (r2=0.71). We captured 37,191 saproxylic Coleoptera in North Carolina, comprising 20 families and 122 species. Overall, species richness and total abundance of Coleoptera were not significantly different among treatments. However, total numbers of many key families, such as Scolytidae, Curculionidae, Cerambycidae, and Buprestidae, have higher total numbers in treated plots compared to untreated controls and several families (Elateridae, Cleridae, Trogositidae, Scolytidae) showed significant differences (p≤0.05) in abundance.

  • Rare Native Animals of RI
    RARE NATIVE ANIMALS OF RHODE ISLAND Revised: March, 2006 ABOUT THIS LIST The list is divided by vertebrates and invertebrates and is arranged taxonomically according to the recognized authority cited before each group. Appropriate synonomy is included where names have changed since publication of the cited authority. The Natural Heritage Program's Rare Native Plants of Rhode Island includes an estimate of the number of "extant populations" for each listed plant species, a figure which has been helpful in assessing the health of each species. Because animals are mobile, some exhibiting annual long-distance migrations, it is not possible to derive a population index that can be applied to all animal groups. The status assigned to each species (see definitions below) provides some indication of its range, relative abundance, and vulnerability to decline. More specific and pertinent data is available from the Natural Heritage Program, the Rhode Island Endangered Species Program, and the Rhode Island Natural History Survey. STATUS. The status of each species is designated by letter codes as defined: (FE) Federally Endangered (7 species currently listed) (FT) Federally Threatened (2 species currently listed) (SE) State Endangered Native species in imminent danger of extirpation from Rhode Island. These taxa may meet one or more of the following criteria: 1. Formerly considered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Federal listing as endangered or threatened. 2. Known from an estimated 1-2 total populations in the state. 3. Apparently globally rare or threatened; estimated at 100 or fewer populations range-wide. Animals listed as State Endangered are protected under the provisions of the Rhode Island State Endangered Species Act, Title 20 of the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island.

  • The Butterflies of Mississippi­ Supplement No
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 39(2), 1985, 134-138 THE BUTTERFLIES OF MISSISSIPPI­ SUPPLEMENT NO. 31 BRYANT MATHER2 AND KATHARINE MATHER 213 Mt. Salus Road, Clinton, Mississippi 39056 ABSTRACT. An annotated list of Mississippi butterflies is presented. This updated version is the fifth such list published. Six names additional to the previous lists have been included. Of the five published lists of Mississippi butterflies, this is the first to use the names and arrangement of Miller and Brown (1981) as amend­ ed by them in Hodges (Editor) (1983). It includes six names not in­ cluded in the fourth list (Mather & Mather, 1976). The growth rate has dropped to fewer than one per year as indicated in Table 1 below: TABLE 1. Published lists of Mississippi butterflies, showing rate of increase in the addition of names previously unrecorded from the state. Time Names added List Reference Names interval Names added per year 1 Weed (1894) 53 2 Hutchins (1933) 73 39 20 0.5 3 M. & M. (1958) 122 25 49 1.9 4 M. & M. (1976) 144 18 22 1.2 5 M. & M.

We also said, "there may be cases in which the Mississippi representatives of a given species represent more than one population; if so, we do not believe that we as yet have adequate data to support such a conclusion." Now we do. Our reasons for adding the six names are summarized below. 1.

  • Butterflies of Tanzania
    80 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY status. Also included on the species page is an occurrence calendar-graph for each stage of the species and a map of Ontario showing distribution by dots placed in each county and district of occurrence. I wish the authors had included more biological information and" characteristics" of each species instead of devoting more than half a page to each distribution map. The 12 color plates include 2 habitat photographs and 27 individual photographs that show 7 larvae and pupa and 20 adults, representing 22 species. Following the main species section is information on 19 stray species that have been vouchered by a single specimen (e.g., Erynnis zarucco) or rarely recorded (e.g., Speyeria idalia). It appears to me that these strays should have been included in the main species section, which already includes such strays as Pyrgus communis, Hylephila phyleus, Battus philenor, to name a few. Next is a section listing five unconfirmed species that may range into Ontario based on records from adjacent provinces and Michigan. This section might better have been called a hypothetical species list. The final species section has information on five doubtful species that have been erroneously referred to Ontario as a result of misidentification, improper labelling, or lack of a voucher specimen. The last four pages of the Atlas comprise a bibliography, including check-lists, TEA publications, and general works, and a provincial ranking of status indicating number of occurrences within the province. This publication is a valuable addition to the literature on Lepidoptera of the region from Hudson Bay to the Great Lakes, although there are a few questionable assertions.

  • Phylogeny and Biogeography of Euphyes Scudder (Hesperiidae)
    JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY Volume 47 1993 Number 4 Journal of the Lepidopterists Society 47(4), 1993, 261-278 PHYLOGENY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF EUPHYES SCUDDER (HESPERIIDAE) JOHN A. SHUEyl Great Lakes Environmental Center, 739 Hastings, Traverse City, Michigan 49684 ABSTRACT. The 20 species of Euphyes were analyzed phylogenetically and were found to fall into four monophyletic species groups, each of which is defined by one or more apomorphic characters. The peneia group contains Euphyes peneia (Godman), E. eberti Mielke, E. leptosema (Mabille), E. fumata Mielke, E. singularis (Herrich-Schiiffer), and E. cornelius (Latreille). The subferruginea group contains E. subferruginea Mielke, E. antra Evans, and E. cherra Evans. The dion group contains E. dion (Edwards), E. dukesi (Lindsey), E. bayensis Shuey, E. pilatka (Edwards), E. berryi (Bell), and E. con­ spicua (Edwards). The vestris group contains E. vestris (Boisduval), E. chamuli Freeman, E. bimacula (Grote and Robinson), and E arpa (Boisduval and Leconte). Euphyes ampa Evans could not be placed confidently w .nin this framework. Geographic distribution of each speci~s group suggests that exchange between South America and North America took place at least twice. The two Caribbean Basin species (E. singularis, E. cornelius) share a common ancestor with E. peneia, a species found in Central and South America. This suggests a vicariant event involving Central America and the Greater Antilles. The dion and vestris groups show strong patterns of alJopatric differentiation, suggesting that the isolation and subsequent differentiation of peripheral populations has played an important role in the development of the extant species. Additional key words: evolution, cladistics, wetlands, vicariance biogeography, pop­ ulation differentiation.
