The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

    Contributions Toward a Lepidoptera (Psychidae, Yponomeutidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Zygaenoidea, Thyrididae, Drepanoidea, Geometroidea, Mimalonoidea, Bombycoidea, Sphingoidea, & Noctuoidea) Biodiversity Inventory of the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab Hugo L. Kons Jr. Last Update: June 2001 Abstract A systematic check list of 489 species of Lepidoptera collected in the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab is presented, including 464 species in the superfamilies Drepanoidea, Geometroidea, Mimalonoidea, Bombycoidea, Sphingoidea, and Noctuoidea. Taxa recorded in Psychidae, Yponomeutidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Zygaenoidea, and Thyrididae are also included. Moth taxa were collected at ultraviolet lights, bait, introduced Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum), and by netting specimens. A list of taxa recorded feeding on P. notatum is presented. Introduction The University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Laboratory (NATL) contains 40 acres of natural habitats maintained for scientific research, conservation, and teaching purposes. Habitat types present include hammock, upland pine, disturbed open field, cat tail marsh, and shallow pond. An active management plan has been developed for this area, including prescribed burning to restore the upland pine community and establishment of plots to study succession (http://csssrvr.entnem.ufl.edu/~walker/natl.htm). The site is a popular collecting locality for student and scientific collections. The author has done extensive collecting and field work at NATL, and two previous reports have resulted from this work, including: a biodiversity inventory of the butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea & Papilionoidea) of NATL (Kons 1999), and an ecological study of Hermeuptychia hermes (F.) and Megisto cymela (Cram.) in NATL habitats (Kons 1998). Other workers have posted NATL check lists for Ichneumonidae, Sphecidae, Tettigoniidae, and Gryllidae (http://csssrvr.entnem.ufl.edu/~walker/insect.htm).

INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

  • CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.

  • Quelques Papillons De Nuit De La Réserve Faunique De Matane
    Quelques papillons de nuit de la réserve faunique de Matane Le mont Blanc à l’arrière-plan Comité de protection des monts Chic-Chocs Rapport produit par Jacques Larivée Rimouski, mai 2017 Papillons de nuit de la réserve faunique de Matane C’est à l’invitation du Comité de protection des monts Chic-Chocs que je joins du 15 au 17 août 2016 un groupe de naturalistes qui a pour objectif d’améliorer les connaissances de la flore et de la faune du territoire de la réserve faunique de Matane. Voici les membres de l’équipe dans l’ordre où ils apparaissent sur la photo. Photo Claude Gauthier Claude Gauthier (ornithologie, photographie, kayak, transport et sécurité) ; Christian Grenier (botanique des plantes vasculaires et photographie) ; Pierre Fradette (organisation, ornithologie, photographie, transport et sécurité), Louis Fradette (organisation, ornithologie, photographie, kayak, transport et sécurité) ; Pierre Lévesque (bryologie et photographie) ; Jean Faubert (bryologie et photographie) ; Jacques Larivée (ornithologie, photographie et entomologie) ; Gaétan Caron (organisation, transport, connaissance du territoire et sécurité). 2 Papillons de nuit de la réserve faunique de Matane Mon « travail » consiste à noter mes observations des oiseaux le jour partout sur le territoire, comme le font les autres ornithologues, et à photographier les papillons de nuit le soir à l’Étang à la Truite le 15 et le 17 août et au sommet du mont Blanc le soir du 16 août. Mes observations d’oiseaux sont enregistrées sur eBird et sont résumées dans ce document. Le texte qui suit présente 3 listes d’espèces incluant au moins une photo par espèce : la liste des papillons de nuit photographiés à l’Étang à la Truite suivie de la liste des papillons de nuit photographiés au mont Blanc et de la liste des papillons de nuit non identifiés.

Article Info ABSTRACT Date of Acceptance: This paper deals with a total of 22 species of 14 genera, belonging to noctuid moth 27 December 2017 caterpillars, under subfamily Amphipyrinae (2 spp.), Catocalinae (1sp.), Cuculiinae (3 spp.), Heliothinae (2 spp.), Noctuinae (8 spp.) and Plusiinae (6 spp.). These noctuid Date of Publication: species have been found to be feeding on 56 spp. of agricultural crops, economically 06 January 2018 important plants and water weed. Of the total caterpillar species, under 6 sub-families, K e yw or ds 14 spp. of various sub-families, excepting Cuculiinae, are associated with different agricultural crops. This accounts for 63.63% of noctuid-fauna studied. The highest Noctuid moth number of caterpillar species i.e. 13 (Cuculines, Heliothines, Noctuines and Plusiines), caterpillars feed on 28 spp. of medicinal / aromatic plants. This is followed by8 spp. of noctuids, Diversity devouring vegetable crops (9 spp.). 6 spp. of caterpillars are associated with 4 spp. of Host crops/ plants cereal / food crops, 4 spp.
