FIFTH ADDITION TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL LIST OF MACROLEPIDOPTERA COLLECTED IN NEW JERSEY
Joseph Muller
R.D. 1, Lebanon, New Jersey 08833
ABSTRACT. Nineteen species and subspecies and five named infrasubspecific variations not recorded in John B. Smith's Report of the State Museum (1910) or in my earlier reports to date (1965, 1968, 1973, 1976, 1979) are added to the list of Macro-lepidoptera collected in New Jersey.
Most of the following new additions were collected by the author, Brooke Worth, James Madenjian and the Entomological Department of Rutgers University. Such specimens are in my collection. Checklist numbers and classification for moths are taken from McDunnough (1938), updated to current nomenclature. Butterfly names are from dos Passos (1964). Localities, date and collector are shown. Specimens not followed by the name of collector were taken by the author. Specimens collected at Eldora, Cape May Co., were collected by the author in collaboration with Dr. Worth.
