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:

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
