The following species list for Lulu Island is compiled from information contained in the following references:
The list below is a list of species documented only from these references; other species may be documented but were not included on this list. Overall, this partial list may reflect only a small fraction of the moth species that currently can be found on Lulu Island. A comprehensive systematic study is needed to more clearly understand the species diversity of moths on the Island, in particular in those areas such as intact and semi-intact peat bog systems that are deemed sensitive or threatened. The checklist is organized alphabetically by family. |
