Checklists of North American Moths

The MONA Checklist (Hodges, et al., 1983) was compiled with an effective cut-off date for names published to the end of 1978. During the last forty years a generation of scholarship has greatly advanced our knowledge about moth species and has resulted in enormous changes to the Checklist leading to the non-reviewed, provisional checklist Pohl, Patterson & Pelham (2016) and culminating in the formal publication of Pohl & Nanz (eds.) (2023), Annotated Taxonomic Checklist of the Lepidoptera of North America, North of Mexico, as apart of the Moths of America North of Mexico (MONA) Series.

A very large file listing many of the thousands of taxonomic changes since 1983 is provided here:

Taxonomic Notes Listing

It is to be hoped that serious efforts will be made to update the MPG checklists at least annually so as to closely reflect changes and additions that have been recently published. ~ Steve Nanz, 12/30/2023
