	abstract = {This paper presents results of a recent (1997-1999) survey of terrestrial arthropods of Midway Atoll and lists 546 species identified from 1891 to 1999. The last published compilation (Suehiro, 1960) listed 221 species, and the first complete listing from the 1923 Tanager Expedition published 38 species (Bryan er al., 1926). The increasing number of arthropod species reflected in these surveys is likely related to the increase in plant species present, increased contact between Midway and the outside world by means of surface and air vessels, and increased effort on the part of the U. S. Fish \& Wildlife Service to inventory the arthropad fauna. The percentage of the fauna composed Of native species (1 7\%) is small and some of these species were not recollected during the present survey. Also, a large number (33\%) of historically recorded alien species were not recollected. More recently introduced immigrants may have displaced some of them. The present list includes 205 new island records from Midway including 29 new records for the Hawaiian archipelago. Continued introductions resulting from frequent visits to Midway by uninspected air and surface vessels will result in serious pest problems there. Some observations are included on insects now present on Midway that may become serious pests if introduced to the main Hawaiian islands. Two species in particular, Pmraefia pryeri (Janson) and Scudderia parowe Griffini should be monitored. Other concerns that should be addressed include ants, vespid wasps, and soil arthropods. A full bibliography of Midway terrestrial arthropod references is also included.},

Two kinds of changes are recorded here: changes in understanding of distributions based on specimens accumulated at Bishop Museum (BPBM), and changes in nomenclature resulting from taxonomic work published elsewhere. Many of these taxonomic changes have already been incorporated in Nishida (1994), but this paper provides the background. This paper builds on recent reviews of Sphingidae (Riotte 1986), Noctuoidea (Riotte 1991) and Pyraloidea (Munroe 1989). The recent field guide to Pyraloidea and Microlepidoptera by Robinson et al. (1994), although not intended to cover the Hawaiian fauna, is very useful for family-level identifications and includes many species that occur in Hawaii. },

	pages = {1-8},
	publisher = {University of California, Berkeley},
	abstract = {Despite the unique biological opportunities presented by the island chains of French Polynesia, the biology of the area is poorly understood. Moths are among the many taxa with undocumented biodiversity. There is biological interest in documenting which moth species are present and how they interact with the plant community. I collected 161 macrolepidopteran moths at a range of elevations on the island of Moorea, French Polynesia to explore their diversity and study their role as pollinators. I assembled a pollen library of 27 common plant species and attempted to match these pollens with pollen grains that were removed from moths. Although identification to species was not possible with all of the moths that were collected, I grouped them into morphospecies by wing pattern; 35 morphospecies were found. There were more species found at higher elevations. The abundance of some species changed with elevation. The most abundant morphospecies at all sites were non-endemics that are widely distributed throughout the South Pacific. Many moths were found to feed on the invasive Lantana camara and some fed on plants in the Myrtaceae. This study suggests that the moth fauna on Moorea is dominated by non-endemics, but that there may be some relictual endemics, especially at the higher elevations. It also suggests that invasive plants have a considerable impact on the moth fauna. Future research on Moorean moths should focus on accomplishing a more comprehensive survey of moth biodiversity and examining the interaction of the moth fauna with native and introduced plants.},
