Exotic Moths

[Hugh McGuinness]

Hello Lepidophiles,

I am trying to put together a list of exotic moths that occur in eastern
North America. Does such a list already exist?

Here are the 10 species I could think of quickly, but I am sure many more
exist: 

Cossidae: Zeuzera pyrina
Tortricidae: Cydia pomonella
Pyralidae: Ostrinia nubilalis
Geometridae: Idaea dimidiata
Saturniidae: Samia cynthia
Lymantriidae: Lymantria dispar, Euproctis chrysorrhea
Noctuidae: Noctua pronuba, Anomis commoda, Parascotia fuliginaria

If such a list does not already exist, I'd appreciate it if list members
replied to me with exotic moths that have established population in
eastern North America. I'd be happy to share the results with list members
if sufficient interest exists.
