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, -

JOURNAL OF THE L E PI D 0 PTE R 1ST S' SOC I E TY Volume 29 1975 Number 3 ROSTROLAETILIA-A NEW NORTH AMERICAN GENUS OF THE SUBFAMILY PHYCITINAE, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF SEVEN NEW SPECIES (PYRALIDAE) ANDRE BLANCHARD P.O. Box 20304, Houston, Texas 77025 and DOUGLAS C. FERGUSON Systematic Entomology Laboratory, IIBIII, Agr. Res. Serv., USDA c/o U. S. National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 In his revision of the Anerastiinae (auctorum), Shaffer (1968) showed that this subfamily, which had been separated by Ragonot (1886) from the Phycitinae on the basis of a single reduction character, loss or ex treme reduction of the tongue, was not monophyletic. On the basis of the genitalia, he showed that some genera should remain separate from the Phycitinae and be treated under the subfamily name Peoriinae, a name previously used in a much broader sense by Hulst (1890). The remainder of the Anerastiinae, including the genus Anerastia Hubner, were considered by Shaffer to belong to the Phycitinae. For lack of sufficient information or material Shaffer left unplaced a few genera and species which he discussed briefly at the end of his revision. These are taxa that had not been treated by Heinrich (1956) because he thought that they were Anerastiinae and thus not within the scope of his revision of the Phycitinae. The present paper offers a redescription of three of these unplaced species, namely Altoona ardi fer ella Hulst, Aurora nigromaculella Hulst, and Parramatta placidella Barnes & McDunnough, as well as descriptions of seven new species. We were able to assign the three existing species names with confidence because the types are available, and their genitalia are distinctive. -

Larvae feed on fruit flesh and burrow into the seed, producing large amounts of frass and causing the fruits to drop from the tree prematurely. Larval damage renders the fruits unfit for commercial sale, leading to significant economic losses. The avocado seed moth has only been recorded as feeding on members of the Lauraceae family, with Persea americana (avocado) as the major host and other secondary hosts: P. schiedeana (coyo), wild Persea spp., and Beilschmedia spp. California accounts for the majority of avocado production in the U.S., followed by Florida and Hawaii. Stenoma catenifer is a small moth with few distinguishing features Fig. 1. Dorsal (top) and ventral (bottom) as an adult. -

Stenoma Catenifer
Stenoma catenifer Scientific Name Stenoma catenifer Walsingham, 1912 Synonyms: None Common Name(s) Avocado seed moth, avocado borer, avocado moth, avocado seed worm Figure 1. Stenoma catenifer adult.

Moth, borer Taxonomic Position Class: Insecta, Order: Lepidoptera, Family: Elachistidae (Also placed in Stenomidae, Oecophoridae and most recently in Depressariidae (S. Passoa, personal communication, 2015)). Reason for Inclusion Additional Pests of Concern 2013 Pest Description Eggs: “Light green when first laid, oval, 0.6 by 0.4 mm with corium transparent at first then cream colored” (USDA, 1980). The texture of the chorion is “reticulate with longitudinal grooves resembling irregular hexagons” (USDA, 1980). Larvae: “Fully grown larval length 20 – 25 mm [about 2 cm]. Body creamy white when newly emerged, becoming light rose by the 3rd instar. The dorsal side becomes violet and the ventral side, greenish [turquoise] blue by the 5th instar. Head light brown, turning black by the 5th instar with blackish eyespots and mandibles. Thoracic shield light brown with darker brown anterior edge. Figure 2.
