An annotated check list of Pyraloidea of North America north of Mexico is presented, including 861 Crambidae and 681 Pyralidae with 1542 total species. It includes all new species described, tropical species with new records in the United States, and species introduced from Europe and Asia since 1983. The Notes section provides the seminal citations, data and/or commentary to all changes since 1983 for easy and future reference. In addition, this list proposes seven new generic combinations, the transfer of a phycitine species, Salebria nigricans (Hulst), to Epipaschiinae and its syn. n. with Pococera fuscolotella (Ragonot), and three new records for the United States. Purposefully, no new taxa are described here, but we found a gradual increase of 10% in the number of species described since 1983. Finally, we also include a list of thirteen species not included or removed from the MONA list. Many higher-level changes have occurred since 1983 and the classification is updated to reflect research over the last 30 years, including exclusion of Thyrididae and Hyblaeidae from the superfamily and recognition of Crambidae and Pyralidae as separate families. The list includes multiple changes to subfamilies based on morphology such as the synonymization of the Dichogamini with the Glaphyriinae, but also incorporating recent molecular phylogenetic results such as the synonymization of the Evergestinae with the Glaphyriinae.
本文呈现了一份墨西哥以北北美洲螟蛾超科的注释清单,其中包括861种草螟科昆虫和681种螟蛾科昆虫,共计1542个物种。它涵盖了所有已描述的新物种、在美国有新记录的热带物种,以及自1983年以来从欧洲和亚洲引入的物种。注释部分提供了自1983年以来所有变化的重要引文、数据和/或评论,以便于查阅和未来参考。此外,该清单提出了七个新的属级组合,将一种麦蛾科物种,即黑麦蛾(Salebria nigricans (Hulst)),转移到埃皮螟亚科,并将其与褐螟(Pococera fuscolotella (Ragonot))建立新异名关系,以及美国的三个新记录。在此特意不描述新的分类单元,但我们发现自1983年以来描述的物种数量逐渐增加了10%。最后,我们还列出了未被列入或已从《世界蛾类名录》(MONA)中移除的13个物种的清单。自1983年以来发生了许多高级别的分类变化,分类已更新以反映过去30年的研究成果,包括将窗蛾科和燕蛾科排除在该超科之外,并将草螟科和螟蛾科确认为独立的科。该清单包括基于形态学对亚科的多项更改,例如将二化螟亚族与绢螟亚科同义化,同时也纳入了最近的分子系统发育结果,例如将谷螟亚科与绢螟亚科同义化。
