Arizona Wildlife Notebook
ARIZONA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ARIZONA WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK GARRY ROGERS Praise for Arizona Wildlife Notebook “Arizona Wildlife Notebook” by Garry Rogers is a comprehensive checklist of wildlife species existing in the State of Arizona. This notebook provides a brief description for each of eleven (11) groups of wildlife, conservation status of all extant species within that group in Arizona, alphabetical listing of species by common name, scientific names, and room for notes. “The Notebook is a statewide checklist, intended for use by wildlife watchers all over the state. As various individuals keep track of their personal observations of wildlife in their specific locality, the result will be a more selective checklist specific to that locale. Such information would be vitally useful to the State Wildlife Conservation Department, as well as to other local agencies and private wildlife watching groups. “This is a very well-documented snapshot of the status of wildlife species – from bugs to bats – in the State of Arizona. Much of it should be relevant to neighboring states, as well, with a bit of fine-tuning to accommodate additions and deletions to the list. “As a retired Wildlife Biologist, I have to say Rogers’ book is perhaps the simplest to understand, yet most comprehensive in terms of factual information, that I have ever had occasion to peruse. This book should become the default checklist for Arizona’s various state, federal and local conservation agencies, and the basis for developing accurate local inventories by private enthusiasts as well as public agencies. "Arizona Wildlife Notebook" provides a superb starting point for neighboring states who may wish to emulate Garry Rogers’ excellent handiwork. -

Book Review, of Systematics of Western North American Butterflies
(NEW Dec. 3, PAPILIO SERIES) ~19 2008 CORRECTIONS/REVIEWS OF 58 NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLY BOOKS Dr. James A. Scott, 60 Estes Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80226-1254 Abstract. Corrections are given for 58 North American butterfly books. Most of these books are recent. Misidentified figures mostly of adults, erroneous hostplants, and other mistakes are corrected in each book. Suggestions are made to improve future butterfly books. Identifications of figured specimens in Holland's 1931 & 1898 Butterfly Book & 1915 Butterfly Guide are corrected, and their type status clarified, and corrections are made to F. M. Brown's series of papers on Edwards; types (many figured by Holland), because some of Holland's 75 lectotype designations override lectotype specimens that were designated later, and several dozen Holland lectotype designations are added to the J. Pelham Catalogue. Type locality designations are corrected/defined here (some made by Brown, most by others), for numerous names: aenus, artonis, balder, bremnerii, brettoides, brucei (Oeneis), caespitatis, cahmus, callina, carus, colon, colorado, coolinensis, comus, conquista, dacotah, damei, dumeti, edwardsii (Oarisma), elada, epixanthe, eunus, fulvia, furcae, garita, hermodur, kootenai, lagus, mejicanus, mormo, mormonia, nilus, nympha, oreas, oslari, philetas, phylace, pratincola, rhena, saga, scudderi, simius, taxiles, uhleri. Five first reviser actions are made (albihalos=austinorum, davenporti=pratti, latalinea=subaridum, maritima=texana [Cercyonis], ricei=calneva). The name c-argenteum is designated nomen oblitum, faunus a nomen protectum. Three taxa are demonstrated to be invalid nomina nuda (blackmorei, sulfuris, svilhae), and another nomen nudum ( damei) is added to catalogues as a "schizophrenic taxon" in order to preserve stability. Problems caused by old scientific names and the time wasted on them are discussed. -

Appendix G Species Lists This appendix contains the common and scientific names of animals and plants that have been recorded on Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge or the surrounding Bitterroot Valley. The animal and plant lists are from ref uge wildlife surveys, annual narratives (USFWS 1988–93), and the 2009 Lee Metcalf Refuge Bioblitz. Species of concern were determined from global, Federal, and State of Montana listings (Montana Natural Heritage Program 2012).

Sentinels on the Wing: the Status and Conservation of Butterflies in Canada
Sentinels on the Wing The Status and Conservation of Butterflies in Canada Peter W. Hall Foreword In Canada, our ties to the land are strong and deep. Whether we have viewed the coasts of British Columbia or Cape Breton, experienced the beauty of the Arctic tundra, paddled on rivers through our sweeping boreal forests, heard the wind in the prairies, watched caribou swim the rivers of northern Labrador, or searched for song birds in the hardwood forests of south eastern Canada, we all call Canada our home and native land. Perhaps because Canada’s landscapes are extensive and cover a broad range of diverse natural systems, it is easy for us to assume the health of our important natural spaces and the species they contain. Our country seems so vast compared to the number of Canadians that it is difficult for us to imagine humans could have any lasting effect on nature. Yet emerging science demonstrates that our natural systems and the species they contain are increas- ingly at risk. While the story is by no means complete, key indicator species demonstrate that Canada’s natural legacy is under pressure from a number of sources, such as the conversion of lands for human uses, the release of toxic chemicals, the introduction of new, invasive species or the further spread of natural pests, and a rapidly changing climate. These changes are hitting home and, with the globalization and expansion of human activities, it is clear the pace of change is accelerating. While their flights of fancy may seem insignificant, butterflies are sentinels or early indicators of this change, and can act as important messengers to raise awareness. -

Pontia Beckerii from Balkhash Lake, Kazakhstan, New to the Palaearctic
Pontia beckerii from Balkhash Lake, Kazakhstan, new to the Palaearctic, and misidentified larva and pupa of Pieris krueperi from the Tarbagatai Range, Kazakhstan (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) John G. Coutsis Abstract. Pontia beckerii (Edwards, 1871) is recorded for the first time from the Palaearctic Region, in Kazakhstan. Recently published illustrations of erroneously determined larva and pupa of supposed Pieris krueperi Staudinger, 1860 are determined as belonging instead to the Euchloe ausonia species-group. Samenvatting. Pontia beckerii van het Balkash meer, Kazakhstan, en verkeerd gedetermineerde rupsen en poppen van Pieris krueperi uit het Tarbagatai gebergte, Kazakhstan (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) Pontia beckerii (Edwards, 1871) wordt voor het eerst uit het Palaearctisch gebied, meer bepaald uit Kazakhstan, gemeld. Onlangs gepubliceerde afbeeldingen van rupsen en poppen, die verondersteld worden van Pieris krueperi Staudinger, 1860 te zijn, blijken bij nader onderzoek te behoren tot de Euchloe ausonia soortengroep. Résumé. Pontia beckerii de la région du Lac Balkash, Kazakhstan, et détermination fautive de chenilles et chrysalides de Pieris krueperi de la chaine Tarbagatai, Kazakhstan (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) Pontia beckerii (Edwards, 1871) est mentionné pour la première fois de la région paléarctique et plus spécifiquement de Kazakhstan. Des illustrations récentes, indiquées comme représentant des chenilles et chrysalides de Pieris krueperi Staudinger, 1860, appartiennent en réalité au groupe d'espèces de Euchloe ausonia.
