The New World Noctuidae of the subfamilies Pantheinae (10 genera, 34 species), Raphiinae (1 genus, 1 species), Balsinae (1 genus, 3 species), and Acronictinae (5 genera, 92 species) are revised. With the exception of the Neotropical Pantheinae genera Lichnoptera Herrich-Schäffer, Gaujonia Dognin, and Bathyra Walker, 130 species are treated, 102 of...

AbstractThe taxonomic composition and systematic position of Agriopodes Hampson is examined through an integrated approach using adult and larval morphology, biology, and molecular sequence data. The type-species of Agriopodes, Moma fallax Herrich-Schäffer is shown to be derived within the Acronicta grisea Walker species-group; accordingly, Agriopo...

The Prairies Ecozone of southern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta supports a diverse fauna, with 2,232 species of butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera) recorded to date in 61 families. By far the best known Lepidoptera are the butterflies, with 177 species known to occur in the ecozone. The species known to occur in the Prairies Ecozone are...
The New World species of Panthea Hübner are revised. Five species and two subspecies are described as new: Panthea apanthea sp.n., Panthea reducta sp.n., Panthea greyi grayi sp.n., Panthea judyae sp.n., Panthea guatemala sp.n., Panthea furcilla australis ssp.n., and Panthea acronyctoides nigra ssp.n.. Lectotypes are designated for Panthea leucomela...
Fifty-seven species of microlepidoptera are reported as new for the Province of Alberta, based primarily on specimens in the Northern Forestry Research Collection of the Canadian Forest Service, the University of Alberta Strickland Museum, the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids, and Nematodes, and the personal collections of the fir...

... The group has not been revised for many decades but all three Canadian species were treated by Forbes (1923) and are reasonably well known. However, it was only fairly recently that one of our species was recognized as Holarctic rather than non-native, based on a remote collection locality in northern Alberta (Pohl et al. 2005). Although there are more BINs available than there are documented species, it is thought that this represents intraspecific variation, and no undocumented species are expected (Table 1). ...

... This might be the product of the park's close proximity to shipping ports, the high diversity of ornamental plants and other non-native hosts, and the disturbed condition of the park following the windstorms that allowed the populations to increase to a level that could be detected. Another contributing factor could simply be the addition of DNA barcoding to the arsenal of detection ( Armstrong and Ball 2005;Chown et al. 2008;deWaard et al. 2008b). Typically an introduced species persists at low population densities before becoming established (Tilman 2004) so it is expected that few if any individuals will be collected. ...

... The European skipper (Thymelicus lineola) was introduced at London, Ontario, in about 1910 and has spread widely in eastern North America but more locally in central and western North America. The spread of this species in central Alberta is relatively well-documented (Schmidt et al. 2003) and continues today. It feeds on a variety of grasses, but timothy grass (Phleum pratense L.), a common pasture grass, is preferred. ...

... Noctuoidea, the largest of the lepidopteran superfamilies, is of specific interest, having been studied by multiple authors following the discovery of the NGP (Sokolov 1936, Henke andKruse 1941). Our focus on the Acronictinae (Lepidoptera: Macroheterocera: Noctuidae) is occasioned by several recent systematic studies (Wagner 2007, Wagner et al. 2008, Schmidt et al. 2014, Rota et al. 2016) and by a number of biological attributes amenable to the study of wing pattern. The Acronictinae are an attractive study system for at least two reasons. ...

... Further research on historical tree presence in the Great Plains may help clarify how typical these results are. In any event, cottonwoods are species of cultural value, providing vibrant fall colors, and an important resource for wildlife species such as pollinators [51]. Recently, cottonwood trees have been dying without replacement, due to altered hydrology in combination with other factors [52], which may represent a reset within the range of historical variation but reinitiation of establishment may require a specific combination of disturbance regimes. ...
... Panthea is a small genus comprising 14 species worldwide, distributed mainly in the Nearctic and Palearctic regions (Anweiler 2009;Behounek et al. 2013;Schmidt and Anweiler 2020). Only three species are known in the Neotropical region (Panthea furcilla (Packard, 1864), P. reducta Anweiler, 2009, andP. ...
