BY H E X rt V E D ^V A R LJ S WASHINGTON: government print.ing office, i88q. (3) tm i ^^3 PREFACE. I believe that the present Cataloj^ue will supp!y a want that has lon;^ been felt by many entom()loy;ists, and thouj^h it may be far from perfect, it will, I trust, be acceptable to the students of the earlier stages of North American Lejidoptera. In its compilation I have occupied a j^i^ood portion of the spare time at my command for three yea''s past, and have carefully examined every publication that has been accessible to me. I know that many references may possibly have been omitted, the works in which they occur not beinjj^ within my reach, but I trust that few if any s/ifiifs have lieen overlooked altogether. Should such be the case, however, I shall be greatly indebted to my entomological friends if they will point them out to me, as it is my intention to issue a supplement to this list once a year, and thus keep up with the knowledge of what descriptions have been recorded. In the nomenclature I have followed the cata- logue of W. H. I'klwards in the Diuniw; Grote's Check List (iSSj) in the Afacro-LepiJoptera; Professor. Fernald in the Tortricidcc ; Stainton, Clemens, and Chambers in the Tineidie; and Lord Walsingham in the P/(Top/iflriihe. Of the two latter families no catalogue of our species exists, and I therefore ask for indulgence should any errors in the seciuence of the genera or otherwise be detected. It has been my aim to make the references as clear but at the same time as brief as possible, and I have, as will be seen, arranged all descriptions according to the date of their publication. When the words (cpiotes Harris, c. .i,^) occur after the name of the describer, it will be under- stood that the ttwt of the descripticm has been used; but when the words (after Riley or Abb. Sm., etc.) are found, it will mean that the iirawing ov engraving has been borrowed from these authors. In all the species, where known to me, the food-plant has been given, except in the case of the Arctias and in Agrotis, the former being almost general feeders, and the latter living chiefly on grasses and low herl)ace(nis plants. If a reference is followed by the word (brief), it signifies that the same is but a mere mention, often perhaps only a f(j(xl-plant, but it has been deemed advisable to include such notices.

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,

  • 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.

  • Are Apt to Get Drowned, Especially Night-Feeders Which Leave Their Food-Plants at Dawn, to Seek a Hiding Place at Or Near the Base of the Plant
    Article XXVIII. -DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME LARVAE OF THE GENUS CATOCALA. By WILLIAM BEUTENMUYLLER. PLATE LII. In advance of a contemplated monograph of the species of Catocala found in America, north of Mexico, the following descriptions of larvae of the genus are presented. Some of the larva of this interesting genus present struc- tural characters by which they may be divided into two groups: I. With a process or elevation on the eighth ab- dominal segment. II. Without a process or elevation on the eighth segment. To the first group belong C. cara, hermia, amatrix, palceogama, innubens, parta, etc., all of these having an elevation on the eighth segment, while C. grynea, cratcBgi, and ultronia have an elongated thorn-like process on that segment. To the second group belong C. consors, badia, muliercula, antinympha, amestris, illecta, piatrix, serena, habilis, judith, viduata, neogama, etc. The shape and markings of the head afford good specific characters, as may be seen from the accompanying figures. In raising Catocala larva, I would recommend wrapping a wet rag, sponge, or cotton around the stems of the food-plant, by which means they can be kept fresh for a considerable length of time. This method is far preferable to putting the stems in wet sand or water. In the latter case the larvae are apt to get drowned, especially night-feeders which leave their food-plants at dawn, to seek a hiding place at or near the base of the plant. The larvae of C. consors, badia, mulier- cula, antinympha, and probably others are day-feeders. Catocala minuta Edw.

  • Impacts of Native and Non-Native Plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better Than Non-Natives?
    Impacts of Native and Non-native plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better than Non-natives? by Carl Scott Clem A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama December 12, 2015 Key Words: native plants, non-native plants, caterpillars, natural enemies, associational interactions, congeneric plants Copyright 2015 by Carl Scott Clem Approved by David Held, Chair, Associate Professor: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Charles Ray, Research Fellow: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Debbie Folkerts, Assistant Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Robert Boyd, Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Abstract With continued suburban expansion in the southeastern United States, it is increasingly important to understand urbanization and its impacts on sustainability and natural ecosystems. Expansion of suburbia is often coupled with replacement of native plants by alien ornamental plants such as crepe myrtle, Bradford pear, and Japanese maple. Two projects were conducted for this thesis. The purpose of the first project (Chapter 2) was to conduct an analysis of existing larval Lepidoptera and Symphyta hostplant records in the southeastern United States, comparing their species richness on common native and alien woody plants. We found that, in most cases, native plants support more species of eruciform larvae compared to aliens. Alien congener plant species (those in the same genus as native species) supported more species of larvae than alien, non-congeners. Most of the larvae that feed on alien plants are generalist species. However, most of the specialist species feeding on alien plants use congeners of native plants, providing evidence of a spillover, or false spillover, effect.

This order consists of all the moths and butterflies. Cutworm moths are common throughout the world. In Canada and the United States over three thousand species are represented, from the Arctic tundra to the arid deserts of southwestern United States. Many species are found in eastern North America, but the family is best represented in the mountains and on the plateaus of western North America. CLASSIFICATION AND NOMENCLATURE In zoology, classification is the systematic arrangement of animals into related groups and categories, and nomenclature is the system of names given to these groups. The cutworm moths are insects that belong in the class Insecta. Insecta is divided into several orders: Diptera, the true flies: Hymenoptera. the wasps, bees, and ants: Coleoptera. the beetles, and so on. The order Lepidoptera includes all the moths and butterflies. Each order is divided into a number of families, and the Noctuidae family, which includes all the cutworm moths, is a family of the Lepidoptera.

    ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Luke Elden Dodd The Graduate School University of Kentucky 2010 FOREST DISTURBANCE AFFECTS INSECT PREY AND THE ACTIVITY OF BATS IN DECIDUOUS FORESTS ____________________________________ ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION _____________________________________ A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky By Luke Elden Dodd Lexington, Kentucky Director: Dr. Lynne K. Rieske-Kinney, Professor of Entomology Lexington, Kentucky 2010 Copyright © Luke Elden Dodd 2010 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION FOREST DISTURBANCE AFFECTS INSECT PREY AND THE ACTIVITY OF BATS IN DECIDUOUS FORESTS The use of forest habitats by insectivorous bats and their prey is poorly understood. Further, while the linkage between insects and vegetation is recognized as a foundation for trophic interactions, the mechanisms that govern insect populations are still debated. I investigated the interrelationships between forest disturbance, the insect prey base, and bats in eastern North America. I assessed predator and prey in Central Appalachia across a gradient of forest disturbance (Chapter Two). I conducted acoustic surveys of bat echolocation concurrent with insect surveys. Bat activity and insect occurrence varied regionally, seasonally, and across the disturbance gradient. Bat activity was positively related with disturbance, whereas insects demonstrated a mixed response. While Lepidopteran occurrence was negatively related with disturbance, Dipteran occurrence was positively related with disturbance. Shifts in Coleopteran occurrence were not observed. Myotine bat activity was most correlated with sub-canopy vegetation, whereas lasiurine bat activity was more correlated with canopy-level vegetation, suggesting differences in foraging behavior. Lepidoptera were most correlated with variables describing understory vegetation, whereas Coleoptera and Diptera were more correlated with canopy-level vegetative structure, suggesting differences in host resource utilization.

Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 33(4), 1979,266-267 POPULATION OUTBREAK OF CATOCALA PALAEOGAMA (NOCTUIDAE) Early in the afternoon of 22 July 1978, I encountered large numbers of the oldwife underwing moth, Catocala palaeogama Guenee at Illinois Beach State Park in NE Illinois. The park, located on Lake Michigan approximately 1 mi E of Zion, Lake Co., provides an excellent wildlife habitat. Natural features of this extensive tract include prairie, forest, marsh, dunes, stream and several miles of Lake Michigan shore. Low dunes along the beach support an unusual assemblage of plants, including various dune-associated grasses, bearberry (Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi) and trailing juniper (Ju­ niperus sibirica). Black oak (Quercus velutina), sand cherry (Prunus pumila), willow (Salix sp.), New Jersey tea (Ceanothus pubescens), shrubby cinquefoil (Potentillafru­ ticosa), prickly-pear cactus (Opuntia polyacantha), wild indigo (Baptisia tinctorial, lead plant (Amorpha fruticosa) and a proliferation of other plants cover dunes further inland, attracting a variety of unusual moth and butterfly species from early spring until late fall.

  • University of Guelph ARBORETUM MOTHS All Species Found by CANDICE TALBOT (CT) Unless Otherwise Indicated
    University of Guelph ARBORETUM MOTHS All species found by CANDICE TALBOT (CT) unless otherwise indicated. Other contributors: AB – Andrew Bendall AT – Andalyne Tofflemire CE – Chris Earley FR – Fiona Reid MK – Mike Kent Some notes about the records: Most moths were found at or near the J.C. Taylor Nature Centre, coming to building lights, or to a black light and sheet hung by the building, or to painted bait on nearby trees. Semi-regular monitoring was started by CT in 2012, with a small number of incidental observations pre- dating that time. Dates are written as 20140503 (e.g. May 3, 2014) and photographic records likely exist for all specific dates listed. Dates in brackets indicate that the moth was first recorded as present by CT before that date, but an image may not be available for the earlier sight record. Our list follows the order and groups of Beadle & Leckie (2012) Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern North America. Identifications are based on photographs using this guide as well as other published print and online resources for comparison. We acknowledge that, in some cases, definitive identification may not be possible without dissection and professional examination of the genitalia. Therefore some of our species identifications for difficult groups should be considered tentative. In other cases identification to genus is all that is possible, given the current knowledge of some groups or species complexes. Moss-Eaters - Family Micropterigidae 1.
