Appendix 1: List of spongy moth (Lymantria dispar dispar) infested areas of Canada and the United States

Changes to common names

The common names for some insects are under review internationally. Spongy moth is the new common name for Lymantria dispar dispar, previously known as European gypsy moth, EGM or LDD moth. This change does not affect the French name.

The common name for the group of moths (Lymantria dispar asiatica, Lymantria dispar japonica, Lymantria umbrosa, Lymantria postalba and Lymantria albescens) referred to as AGM (formerly Asian gypsy moth) has changed to Flighted Spongy Moth Complex (FSMC).

Note: These regulated areas are subject to change upon review of relevant scientific information regarding updated survey results by Canadian and the United States phytosanitary officials.

Note: County borders, names, etc. are subject to change by municipal and provincial authorities. Counties listed here are those as defined on the date of this Appendix, please consult maps which reflect the date of this appendix.

An § indicates that this is a new addition to this list.
