Abstract

The article focuses on corrections to the 2023 "Annotated Taxonomic Checklist of the Lepidoptera of North America, North of Mexico." It details various errors and omissions identified in the checklist, including misapplied names, incorrect synonyms, and changes in species status. The authors provide a revised status for several species, including the reinstatement of Meganola extusata due to its classification as a junior homonym. Additionally, the article highlights the availability of a partial EXCEL file for users to update their collections according to the new nomenclature. Overall, the corrections result in slight adjustments to species counts and classifications within the checklist. [Extracted from the article]
