Abstract: We list 1388 Macrolepidoptera species we can verify from Wisconsin, including 1346 species that we have collected during our WI Lepidoptera surveys and 42 additional species that we have examined in other collections. We list an additional 69 Macrolepidoptera species reported from WI in the literature for which we have not examined voucher specimens, for a total of 1457 Macrolepidoptera species. We list 26 additional species we have documented in the families Hepailidae, Cossidae, Attevidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae, Limacodidae, and Thyrididae.

Introduction: Our WI study sites include 40 localities where we have recorded at least 100 Macrolepidoptera species and 73 minor study sites where we have documented less than 100 Macrolepidoptera species. Our best sampled sites, where we have documented over 375 Macrolepidoptera species per site, collectively include the major biogeographical regions of WI (except for the Lake Superior Lowlands, which we have sparsely investigated) and the following habitat types: hydric deciduous forest (inland and floodplain), mesic deciduous forest, deciduous-conifer forest, oak-pine forest, oak-pine barrens, xeric prairie, oak openings, mesic prairie, wet prairie, sedge meadow, shrubby wetland, calcareous fen, open bog, forested bog, old field, and urban yard. Three localities in Outagamie County have been surveyed on numerous dates over multiple years representing the entire WI field season: Mosquito Hill Nature Center (783 Macrolepidoptera species recorded), Fallen Timbers Environmental Center (642 Macrolepidoptera species recorded), and an urban yard on Summer Street in Appleton (521 Macrolepidoptera species recorded). We hypothesize the Macrolepidoptera species check lists obtained for these localities include all resident species for the Appleton yard, and the vast majority of resident species for the other two sites. Other major WI study sites, with the minimum number of Macrolepidoptera species recorded given in parentheses, include the vicinity of the Dunbar Barrens in Marinette Co. (703), the vicinity of the Namekogan Barrens in Burnett Co. (520), Armstrong Creek Bog in Forest Co. (494), Schmeeckle Reserve in Portage Co. (427), Emmons Creek Public Hunting Area in Portage Co. (533), the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest in southeast WI (739), Muralt Bluff in Green Co. (436), and Nelson Dewey State Park in Grant Co. (378). Our longest species list for a Wisconsin County is for Outagamie County, where HLK has compiled a list of 905 Macrolepidoptera species.

A portion of our survey data has been presented in numerous unpublished reports distributed to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and various Lepidopterists. We are in the process of synthesizing this data for an upcoming volume of the North American Journal of Lepidoptera Biodiversity. As of this writing, we have computerized data in Microsoft Excel spread sheets for over 73,000 Lepidoptera specimens we have personally collected in Wisconsin. The sizable majority of these specimens were collected during our period of greatest survey effort from 1992-1995. Numerous additional records are recorded in notebooks, but were lost from the electronic database due to theft of a computer and backup drives.

A significant portion of our Wisconsin survey effort was devoted to lands where conservation was a defined management objective, including Mosquito Hill Nature Center, Fallen Timbers Environmental Center, Schmeeckle Reserve, numerous Wisconsin State Natural Areas, and several other conservation lands. Surveys of such lands are especially important, because in the absence of historical and current survey data it is impossible to evaluate if these ecosystems are being preserved. We conducted research on WI State Natural Areas under permits issued by the WI D.N.R., but tragically we had to discontinue this research after 1995 when new regulations instated by the D.N.R. made continuation of this research in compliance with permit restrictions impossible.

Methods: Our surveys were conducted with MV sheets, UV sheets, UV traps, type P and F bait traps, bait trails, tapping (limited), and diurnal collecting with nets and jars. Follow this link for illustrations and a discussion of these survey methods. Most of our WI inventory work has focused on our own survey work as opposed to inventories of other collections. Collections we have examined for additional WI species records include the Milwaukee Public Museum, National Museum of Natural History, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point collection, and some of the James C. Parkinson collection. Kons and Borth most recently visited the MPM in 2006, and we looked through much of the Macrolepidoptera collection but did not get through some of the Noctuidae or any of the Geometridae. HLK looked through the Noctuid collection at the NMNH in 1998 and recorded data for all WI Noctuid specimens in the main collection except for Catocala (housed in a separate facility), Arctiinae, and Lymantriinae. HLK inventoried the Stevens Point collection as an undergraduate (1992-1996). Between 1997 and 2000 HLK looked through the Florida State Collection of Arthropods for WI specimens, but no additional WI species were found, although a WI specimen of Catocala angusi was recently examined in the McGuire Center (where the FSCA Lepidoptera are now housed). There are a number of additional private and institutional collections with substantial holdings of WI material that we have not examined for WI Lepidoptera records. Thus, our check list should not be viewed as a comprehensive list of all species that have been collected in the state.

Voucher Specimens: Voucher specimens of each species we report from our WI surveys are currently housed in the personal research collections of one or more of the authors. We have also made extensive donations of WI material to the Milwaukee Public Museum. The senior author has identified or verified specimens of all of the species we list from WI with the exception of some Eupithecia (determined by George Balogh), and of course the literature records at the end of our check list. The senior author accepts full responsibility for all determinations on this list, excluding the literature records.

Classification: The classification of the Noctuoidea has been highly unstable in recent years, with a variety of alternative classifications proposed, whereas most family and subfamily concepts for the remaining Macrolepidoptera have been stable since the Hodges et al. (1983) check list. Our philosophy is to adopt a natural classification to the extent possible from current evidence, but within the context of a natural classification preserve nomenclatural stability to the extent possible. Thus, we adopt only changes necessary to correct errors, and reject unnecessary changes to valid taxonomic concepts.

In recent years extensive improvements have been made to our understanding of Noctuoidea phylogeny via a series of papers with molecular phylogenetic analyses: Mitchell et al. (2006), and Zahiri et al. (2011, 2012a, 2012b, and 2013). Morphological evidence is harder to evaluate due to a lack of character coding, data matrices, and reproducible analyses.

Deviations from the family and subfamily classification of Hodges et al. (1983) that we adopt include the following. Danainae and Satyrinae are placed as subfamilies of Nymphalidae following (Harvey 1991). Other family and subfamily changes are in the Noctuoidea, and discussed below.

We include the Arctiinae and Lymantriinae as subfamilies of Noctuidae (rather than their former status as separate families) based on the phylogenetic analyses of Mitchell et al. (2006) and Zahiri et al. (2011, 2012a, 2012b, and 2013). Evidence that the Lymantriinae and Arctiinae are embedded within the quadrifine Noctuidae lineage is independently supported by multiple nuclear genes, with no evidence to the contrary.

Sarrothripinae is split into Risobinae and Chloephorinae based on Zahiri et al. (2012a, 2012b). Within the trifine Noctuidae, Bagisarinae includes the genera Bagisara/Xanthodes and Amyna based Zahiri et al. (2013). Cerma & Comochara are moved to Acronictinae based on Zahiri et al. (2013). Raphiinae is split from Pantheinae based on Zahiri et al. (2013). Psaphidinae follows Poole (1995) but excludes Azenia based on the results of Mitchell et al. (2006). Most of Poole's (1995) remaining changes for the classification of the trifine Noctuidae are incorporated, including the subfamily concepts for Plusiinae, Acontiinae, Eustrotiinae (in part), Condicinae, Amphipyrinae (excluding Phosphila), Stiriinae, Eriopinae, Psaphidinae, Cucullinae, Oncocnemidinae, and Noctuinae. While many Nearctic trifine genera have yet to be included in a phylogenetic analysis, the molecular analyses of Mitchell et al. (2006) and/or Zahiri et al. (2013) are consistent with numerous changes to trifine Noctuid classification proposed in Poole (1995). Within the trifine subfamilies, we list taxa in the order of the Hodges et al. (1983) check list. Wisconsin Trifine genera that cannot reliably be placed into any subfamily at present include Hyperstrotia, Tripudia, Oruza, and Amolita.

Classification of some of the quadrifine Noctuidae (taxa Hodges et al. (1983) placed in the subfamilies Hypeninae, Hypenodinae, Rivulinae, and Catocalinae (now Erebinae)) is problematic, although Herminiinae (as sampled thus far) forms a supported natural group. Zahiri et al. (2012a) shows there are major errors in the Hodges et al. (1983) check list classification (and subsequent classifications proposed without phylogenetic analysis) for the remaining subfamilies, but there is not enough generic sampling to reclassify all of the Nearctic genera into a stable natural classification. Most of the genera included in Zahiri (2012a) are positioned in a supported subfamily clade, although many relationships between and within the subfamilies are unsupported. Most of the quadrifine genera can be listed in the same order as the Hodges et al. (1983) check list, but placed into a different subfamily arrangement reflecting the natural groups. Therefore, we list the quadrifine Noctuidae in a similar order to the Hodges et al. (1983) check list, but follow the subfamily classification of Zahiri et al. (2012a), the most comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the quadrifine Noctuids to date. The subfamily is unknown for a number of primitive quadrifine genera not sampled by Zahiri et al. (2012a).

The molecular phylogenies of Mitchell et al. (2006) and Zahiri et al. (2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2013) all support the traditional concept of Noctuidae as a natural group after Arctiinae and Lymantriinae are placed within it. Therefore, we do not split Noctuidae into multiple families. This would not only create massive nomenclatural instability unnecessary to fix any errors in the existing classification, but also create families that are unidentifiable from morphology and can only be delimited by multiple nuclear genes. We are aware of no proposed justification for splitting up Noctuidae, other than some workers feel the family is too large. However, this subjective criterion is not included in our philosophy of classification, because it is needlessly detrimental to the nomenclatural stability and operationality of classifications. If a monophyletic family can be split up because someone feels it is too big, stable classification is unacheivable even if natural relationships are completely understood.

Many changes to generic classification have been proposed since the Hodges et al. (1983) check list, but many of these are not supported by any kind of phylogenetic analysis. The senior author sees no value to offset the loss of nomenclatural stability incurred with changing genera unless there is a reproducible phylogenetic analysis (based upon publicly available evidence) supporting the hypothesis that specific genera in the Hodges et al. (1983) check list are incorrect (=not valid for a natural classification). Arbitrary rank swapping changes of genera to subgenera are also rejected.

Note for those species listed in the Hodges et al. (1983) check list, we include the original check list number, which serves as a citation for the describing author and year of description.

Results: We have collected at least 1,346 Macrolepidoptera species in Wisconsin, which we list at the end of this paper. Most of these species were recorded during our period of most intensive Wisconsin sampling between 1992 and 1995, with only a handful of the species recorded exclusively prior or subsequent to this interval. We have examined specimens of an additional 42 WI Macrolepidoptera species we did not encounter on our surveys, and at least 69 additional Macrolepidoptera species have been reported from Wisconsin in the literature (not including check lists published prior to 1910 which we suspect contain numerous errors). Thus, we list 1388 Macrolepidoptera species we can verify from Wisconsin, and 1457 species if literature records are included. The number of recorded species given could increase or decrease slightly when certain taxonomically problematic species complexes (highlighted with green font in the list) are further studied in the future. The following checklist is divided into two parts. Species for which we have collected or examined WI specimens are listed in the first part, and species reported in the literature for which we have not examined any WI specimens are listed in the second part.

Expanding This List: We are interested in learning of Wisconsin specimen records of species (in the included families) which are not currently included on this list, and in verifying species reported in the literature for which we have not yet seen a voucher specimen. To add a species to the list the senior author will need to examine a voucher specimen or a high quality image of a voucher specimen. Contributors will be noted in the acknowledgments and the name of the collector will be provided after the species name in the check list. Please note that the North American Lepidoptera Biodiversity LLC does not accept any distributional records not supported by a voucher specimen, in order to promote accuracy and verifiability of the information in our publications. To propose new additions to the list, please contact hkonsjr@yahoo.com.

LITERATURE RECORDS

The following species have been reported in the literature as occurring in Wisconsin, but we have not examined any voucher specimens labeled as having been collected in Wisconsin. These records were obtained from the following sources: Forbes (1948), Covell (1970), Ebner (1970), Covell (1984), Scott (1986), Ferge and Balogh (2000), and Lafontaine (2004). We did not include some of the species names listed for WI in Covell (1970), such as Semiothisa granitata, because the correct application of these names was not understood until after the time of this publication. Many additional literature sources were examined for WI Lepidoptera records, but the remainder contained only some of the same species we list from our own surveys.

MACROLEPIDOPTERA 72

GEOMETRIDAE [27, but Lobocleta ossularia and Xanthorhoe algitata are probable errors]

6257 Leucobrephos brephoides Covell (1970)

6332 Semiothisa punctolineata Covell (1970)

6396 Semiothisa neptaria Ferge and Balogh (2000)

6831 Metarranthis apicaria Covell (1970)

6832 Metarranthis obfirmaria Covell (1970)

7094 Lobocleta ossularia Ferge and Balogh (2000); probably an error.

Note: A specimen determined as L. ossularia with data matching the flight information given in Ferge and Balogh (2000) is in HLK’s opinion a misdetermined Scopula inductata.

7102 Idaea bonifata Ferge and Balogh (2000)

7125 Idaea rotundopennata Ferge and Balogh (2000)

7166 Scopula frigidaria Ferge and Balogh (2000)

7391 Xanthorhoe dentilinea Ferge and Balogh (2000)

7481 Eupithecia coloradensis Ferge and Balogh (2000)

7485 Eupithecia borealis Ferge and Balogh (2000)

8304 Dasychira plagiata Ferge and Balogh (2000)

8341 Zanclognatha theralis Ferge and Balogh (2000), possibly a misdetermination of Z. deceptricalis?

8543 Eudocima maturna Ferge and Balogh (2000)

8545 Anomis erosa Ferge and Balogh (2000)

8713 Zale lunifera Ferge and Balogh (2000)

Note: 8713 is not counted as an additional literature record. Two species were going under the name lunifera, only one of which occurs in WI. Schmidt (2010) elected to assign lunifera to the other species; Zale intenta is now the name for the WI species.

Phoberia orthosioides Ferge & Balogh (2000)

Note: This is not counted as an additional literature record. Prior to Lafontaine et al. (2008), Phoberia ingenua was sometimes reported as P. orthosioides.

8751 Ptichodis bistrigata Ferge and Balogh (2000)

8762 Argyrostrotis quadrifilaris Covell (1984)

8804 Catocala mamorata Covell (1984)

9410 Oligia crytora Ferge and Balogh (2000)

9418 Oligia obtusa Ferge and Balogh (2000)

9463 Parapamea buffaloensis Forbes (1948)

9637 Magusa orbifera Ferge and Balogh (2000)

Note: 9637 is not counted as an additional literature record. Previously one Magusa species was thought to occur in North America. Lafontaine et al. (2009) showed there are two, and the one that occurs in Wisconsin and most of the country is Magusa divaricata.

9999 Brachylomia discinigra Ferge and Balogh (2000)

10471 Stretchia plusiaeformis Ferge and Balogh (2000)

10689 Copableparon longipenne Ferge and Balogh (2000)

Note: 10689 is not counted as an additional literature record. The Lake Michigan sand dunes Copablepharon was formerly considered a disjunct population of C. longipenne, but Lafontaine (2004) elevated it to the status of a separate species, C. michiganensis.
