Most changes this week were from updating the Leucaniini for Europe and south-east Asia to match Hacker et al.'s 2002 treatment in volume 4 of Noctuidae Europaeae. All changes from that volume are now included. Working now to update the North American Leucaniini to match Pohl & Nanz 2023 (http://wedgefoundation.org/MONA2.asp).

So much to do to improve these lists - let me know if you are a #lepidopterist interested in helping.
