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, -

Nat. Croat., Vol. 30, No. 1, 37–52, 2021, Zagreb. From 2016 to 2020 numerous surveys were undertaken to improve the knowledge of the pyraloid moth fauna of Biokovo Nature Park. On August 27th, 2020 one specimen of Psorosa mediterranella (Amsel, 1954) from the family Pyralidae was collected on a small meadow (985 m a.s.l.) on Mt Biok- ovo. In this paper, the first data about the occurrence of this species in Croatia are presented. The previ- ous mention in the literature for Croatia was considered to be a misidentification of the past and has thus not been included in the checklist of Croatian pyraloid moth species. P. mediterranella was recorded for the first time in Croatia in recent investigations and, after other additions to the checklist have been counted, is the 396th species in the Croatian pyraloid moth fauna. An overview of the overall pyraloid moth fauna of Croatia is given in the updated species list.

FAUSKEl AND R. D. GUSTIN 2 ABSTRACT. Twenty-seven species of the subfamily Crambinae known as sod web worm moths were collected from South Dakota. A key to species has been included as well as their distribution patterns in South Dakota. This study began after damage to rangeland in several South Dakota counties in the years 1974 and 1975. Damage was reported from Cor son, Dewey, Harding, Haakon, Meade, Perkins, Stanley and Ziebach counties. An effort was made to determine the species of Crambinae present in South Dakota and their distribution. Included are a key for species identification and a list of species with their flight periods and collection sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Black light traps using the General Electric Fluorescent F ls T8 B1 15 watt bulb were set up in Brookings, Jackson, Lawrence, Minnehaha, Pennington and Spink counties. In Minnehaha County collecting was carried out with a General Electric 200 watt soft-glow bulb. Daytime collecting was used in several localities. Material in the South Dakota State University Collection was also utilized. For each species a map is included showing collection localities by county. On the maps the following symbols are used: • = collected by sweepnet. Q = collected by light trap. Key to South Dakota Cram binae 1a.

Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, Under Research Permit #17-171
Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, under research permit #17-171 Report to Alberta Tourism, Park and Recreation, Parks Division November 2017 by Gregory R. Pohl Gregory Pohl and other members of the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild were granted a research permit (#17-171) for moth and butterfly (Lepidoptera) observation and collection in the Tolman - Rumsey area of central Alberta in the summer of 2017. This is our report of the species observed and collected in the area. Study Sites: The following sites were visited and sampled for Lepidoptera: 1. Rowley townsite (Figure 1). 51.760°N 112.786°W. July 14-16, 2017. Abandoned home sites and field margins; disturbed area along train tracks. Although not a protected area requiring a permit, this was our base of operations and camping area, it was convenient to observe and collect moths and butterflies here. Most of the species encountered here are expected to occur in nearby parks and natural areas. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting; UV light traps; mercury vapour lights. 2. "North Rumsey": Township Road 589, vicinity of Rumsey Natural Area. 51.965°N 112.625°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland with small sloughs. Although not technically within the Rumsey Natural Area, this site is very near and is comprised of similar habitat. The species seen here are all expected within the natural area. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting. 3. "West Rumsey": Western edge of Rumsey Natural Area (Figure 2). 51.882°N 112.691°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland and grassland. -

Cranberry Girdler
CRANBERRY GIRDLER Common Name: Cranberry girdler Scientific Name: Chrysoteuchia topiaria Order: Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) Family: Pyralidae (pyralid, grass, wax, and snout moths) Cranberry girdler is a pest of cranberry runners at or below the soil surface. The larvae remove the bark and conductive tissues of the stems, thereby “girdling” them and cutting off movement of water and nutrients in the plant. The result can be death of uprights in small localized areas or in larger patches. The damage is easily diagnosed by looking for the chewing on the horizontal stems. Biology and Damage Host Plants: Wide range of host plants. Cranberry girdler is considered a member of the sod webworm complex and it frequently feeds on the roots of cultivated and wild grasses. Cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon Sheep sorrel, Rumex acetosella Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii Description and Diagnosis: Eggs are deposited randomly in the leaf litter and are initially white but change to an orangish-red color close to hatch. The female can lay as many as 700 eggs with up to 300 deposited the first day. The eggs are oval and are 0.4-0.5 mm long. The larvae are white with a brown head and a number of black hairs of various lengths are on each body segment. They can reach a maximum of 15.0 mm long. The pupae are pale yellow, 10 mm long, and are located within a cocoon made of pieces of twigs, leaves, or other scraps found in the leaf litter and joined together with silk strands. This makes a perfect camouflage making them very difficult to locate on the cranberry bed floor. -

Sod Webworm Pest Fact Sheet 48 Dr
Bringing information and education into the communities of the Granite State Sod Webworm Pest Fact Sheet 48 Dr. Stanley R. Swier, Extension Specialist Emeritus, Entomology Introduction and Description Sod webworms are the caterpillar stage of small moths, from the genera Crambus and Herpetogramma. Adult moths are about 1" long, tan-colored, and are often seen flying about the lawn in jerky, short flight. Full-grown larvae (caterpillars) are 3/4" long, brown or gray with spots. The larvae construct silk-lined tunnels in soil or thatch, but come out to the surface at night to feed on grass. Life Cycle Spring: When the weather warms up, the overwintering Adult sod webworm (snout moth, Crambus saltuellus). Credit: David Cappaert, Bugwood.org. caterpillars resume feeding on grass. Damage is first observed in late-June or July. Summer: Adults or moths appear in July, mate, and lay eggs. The larvae of these moths then cause damage in August. Birds make probing holes into the turf Fall: Adults appear again in September, mate, and lay eggs. The as they search for caterpillars, which larvae of these eggs overwinter in the soil. can cause significant damage. Damage The damage caused by sod webworms shows up first as small, irregular brown patches. Flocks of birds seen on the turf are a good indicator of the presence of sod webworms. Birds make probing holes into the turf as they search for caterpillars, which can cause significant damage. Management IPM Strategies: • Monitoring - To sample for sod webworms, look carefully at the damaged area for silken tunnels. Alternatively, mix Immature sod webworm. -
Lepidoptera of the Tolman Bridge Area (2000-2011)
LEPIDOPTERA OF THE TOLMAN BRIDGE AREA, ALBERTA, 2000-2011 Charles Bird, 8 March 2012 Box 22, Erskine, AB T0C 1G0 [email protected] The present paper includes a number of redeterminations and additions to the information in earlier reports. It also follows the up-to-date order and taxonomy of Pohl et al. (2010), rather than that of Hodges et al. (1983). Brian Scholtens, Greg Pohl and Jean-François Landry collecting moths at a sheet illuminated by a mercury vapor (MV) light, Tolman Bridge, 24 July 2003, during the 2003 Olds meetings of the Lepidopterist’s Society (C.D. Bird image). Tolman Bridge, is located in the valley of the Red Deer River, 18 km (10 miles) east of the town of Trochu. The bridge and adjoining Park land are in the north half of section 14, range 22, township 34, west of the Fourth Meridian. The coordinates at the bridge are 51.503N and 113.009W. The elevation ranges from around 600 m at the river to 800 m or so near the top of the river breaks. In a Natural Area Inspection Report dated 25 June 1982 and in the 1989 Trochu 82 P/14, 1:50,000 topographic map, the land southwest of the bridge was designated as the “Tolman Bridge Municipal Park” while that southeast of the bridge was referred to as the “Tolman Bridge Recreation Area”. In an Alberta, Department of the Environment, Parks and Protected Areas Division paper dated 9 May 2000, the areas on both sides of the river are included in “Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park”. -
