List of moths of North America (MONA 6089–7648)

North American moths represent approximately 12,000 types of moths, whereas there are around 825 species of North American butterflies. Moths (mostly nocturnal) and butterflies (mostly diurnal) together comprise the taxonomic order Lepidoptera.

This list is sorted by MONA number (MONA is short for Moths of America North of Mexico). The numbering system for North American moths was introduced by Ronald W. Hodges et al. in 1983 in the publication Check List of the Lepidoptera of America North of Mexico. Although the list has been updated, the placement of some species within families is outdated.

This list covers America north of Mexico (effectively the continental United States and Canada). For a list of moths and butterflies recorded from the state of Hawaii, see List of Lepidoptera of Hawaii.

This is a partial list, covering moths with MONA numbers ranging from 6089 to 7648. For the rest of the list, see List of moths of North America.
