INTRODUCTION
The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation's Division of Natural Heritage
(DCR-DNH) was established in 1986 to protect Virginia's biological diversity. DCR-DNH's work
focuses on science-based conservation to protect Virginia's native plant and animal life and the
ecosystems upon which it depends. Scientists collect data on natural communities and rare
plants and animals, develop land conservation data and online mapping tools, and provide
up-to-date information to enable timely conservation decisions. Virginia's Natural Area
Preserve System provides long-term protection and outdoor recreation access to some of the
state and the planet's most ecologically important lands. In collaboration with our partners,
DCR-DNH’s work focuses on ensuring the conservation of Virginia’s common, rare and
endangered species and ecosystems. As a member of NatureServe , DCR's Natural Heritage
Program also contributes to an understanding and conservation of our global biodiversity.
The first step in conservation is identifying and prioritizing what needs protecting. DCR-DNH
identifies Natural Heritage Resources (NHR) which are in need of conservation attention. NHR
are defined in the Virginia Natural Area Preserves Act of 1989 (Section 10.1-209 through 217,
Code of Virginia ), as the habitat of rare, threatened, and endangered plant and animal species;
exemplary natural communities, habitats, and ecosystems; and other natural features of the
Commonwealth.
To prioritize this protection, DCR-DNH maintains lists of the most significant elements of our
natural diversity. These lists and reports, developed for plants and lichens, animals, and natural
communities, focus the Division's inventory on the elements of biodiversity most likely to be
lost without conservation action in the near future. Most importantly, these lists are not only
useful for DCR-DNH, but can be used by other agencies, organizations, and individuals to guide
protection and inform land-use decisions. In formulating this list of rare animals, the Division
uses information from previous studies, museum records, the observations and opinions of
experts, DCR-DNH staff scientists, and field inventories.
The first section included in this report is the Rare Animal List. This list contains information on
the legal and biological status of Virginia’s rarest known native animals, including vertebrates (n
= 189), and insects and selected other invertebrate groups (n = 616). Certain marine species
that are listed as federally endangered or threatened are only included in the appendices. Only
those species that use discrete habitat patches or can directly benefit from habitat protection
are included in the main taxonomic lists.
Taxa placed on the rare lists are considered to be sufficiently rare or threatened in Virginia to
merit tracking their status and population trends and conducting field inventory to locate new
occurrences or update known occurrences. ‘Sufficiently rare’ includes species with
conservation status ranks of G1 through G3 and/or S1 through S2 (See NatureServe Explorer for
1
detailed definitions), and/or are listed as threatened or endangered by the Commonwealth of
Virginia (see Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and Virginia
Department of Wildlife Resources ) or under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (see U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service ). Each species is presented with information on its conservation and legal
status.
Included on the Rare Animal List are ‘animal assemblages’. An animal assemblage is a group of animals, often multiple species, found in a high concentration due to either a life stage (i.e. breeding or migrating) or indicative of habitat quality. Examples of an animal assemblage include mussel concentration site, migratory bird migration corridor, or a heron rookery. The assemblage is the element, with global and state (i.e. subnational) ranks accorded to them. Note, the actual species within an assemblage may or may not be tracked.
The second section is the Animal Watchlist. This list contains information on the conservation and legal status of 371 additional taxa (74 vertebrates, 297 invertebrates) that are decidedly uncommon in Virginia but not scarce enough to merit inclusion on the Rare Animal List. Species on this list are monitored to determine general population trends. Some species included on the Animal Watchlist were formerly on the Rare Animal List but have been determined to be more common than previously believed. Other species on the Watchlist are declining and may warrant placement on the Rare Animal List in the future if their populations continue to decline.
The third section included in this report is the Animal Review List (Taxa of Uncertain Status).
Many of these species lack numerical ranks, indicating that they are poorly known from a
distributional and/or taxonomic standpoint. Although some of these species may prove to be
conservation targets, more field and museum data are needed to assess their degree of rarity in
Virginia and/or taxonomic status. There are 191 species (3 vertebrates, 188 invertebrates) in
this category.
Two appendices are provided to aid in summarizing or highlighting the status of certain species.
Appendix 1 summarizes all animals that are protected by federal or state endangered species
acts are included in this list (except as noted above). Federally listed species are protected by
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Fish
and Wildlife Service administers the Act, listing and protecting federally endangered and
threatened species. The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources has the regulatory
responsibility for the listing and protection of the state’s endangered and threatened animals
(excluding the Class Insecta) under the Virginia Endangered Species Act ( Section 29.1-564
through 570, Code of Virginia ). The Virginia Plant and Insect Species Program within the Virginia
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has regulatory 2 responsibility for the listing
and protection of the state’s insects (and plants) under the Virginia Endangered Plant and
Insect Act (Section 3.1-1020 through 1030, Code of Virginia). DCR-DNH is a primary source of
recommendations to each of the regulatory agencies for species that are in need of listing as
endangered or threatened. As of this publication, there are 67 federal and 129 state listed
2
animal species in Virginia. Note, not all listed animal species are tracked by DCR-DNH, such as
marine mammals and others.
Appendix 2 lists species once native to Virginia, that are now considered either extinct (the
species does not exist anywhere) or extirpated (the species does not exist in a defined area)
from Virginia.
Natural Heritage Resource lists are necessarily dynamic, and are revised frequently, with
updates occurring as data become available. Such revisions assure the most current knowledge
of the status of Virginia’s animals. Animals are added to the list when it is determined that they
have become rare or threatened to such an extent that their continued existence in Virginia is
in jeopardy. Animals are removed from the list when additional field surveys or other new data
indicate they are more common than previously believed and do not warrant priority
conservation efforts.
If you have information which could refine this list, please contact DCR-DNH staff zoologist
Steve Roble at (804) 726-7951 (email: [email protected]) or filling out the Rare
Species Sighting Form (see also Appendix 3).
LIST FORMAT
The lists are sorted by broad taxonomic groups and then ordered alphabetically by scientific
name within each group. The format of each list consists of six fields: scientific name, common
name, global rank, state rank, federal status, and state status. These fields are also used in the
lists appearing in Appendix 1. To aid in the interpretation of the lists, a brief explanation of each
field and a summary of abbreviations follow.
Column 1. Scientific name:
Nomenclature of animals is not contained in any single source. The most recent taxonomic
sources are examined by the staff zoologist and, when necessary, direct consultations with
experts are used to maintain the most scientifically accepted names for all animal groups.
Divergences from these opinions are rare and generally occur only while an ongoing taxonomic
study is being conducted. Contact the staff zoologist if you have questions or comments
regarding the scientific names used herein.
Column 2. Common name:
A common name is provided for the convenience of the user. Standard common names have
been developed and universally adopted for only a few animal groups; therefore, the user is
cautioned to use scientific names whenever possible. The common names for most vertebrates
and a few selected aquatic invertebrate groups (e.g., mussels) are recognized as stable. Most
invertebrate species lack common names and it may not be practical to provide such names.
They are usually indicated in the list as “a caddisfly”, “a millipede”, etc. While many common
3
names that appear in the list, especially those of invertebrates, are not widely used or
universally accepted, the primary sources applied to species in selected groups included in this
list were based on the following resources.

Column 3. Global rank:
Global ranks are assigned by NatureServe and its member programs (including DCR-DNH) and
collaborators. They use a rigorous, consistent, and transparent methodology to assess the
conservation status (extinction or extirpation risk) of species of plants, animals, and fungi, as
well as the conservation status (elimination or extirpation risk) of ecosystems (ecological
communities and systems). For animals, global ranks (a.k.a., ‘G-rank’) designate a rarity rank
based on the range-wide status of a species or subspecies. The ranks are assigned after
considering a suite of factors, including number of occurrences (i.e. populations), number of
individuals, and severity of threats. Visit NatureServe’s website to learn more about the
methodology. Each rank is defined below (Source: NatureServe Explorer, 2020. Statuses.
Accessed at https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/Statuses ):
5
G1 = Critically Imperiled — At very high risk of extinction or elimination due to very restricted
range, very few populations or occurrences, very steep declines, very severe threats, or
other factors.
G2 = Imperiled — At high risk of extinction or elimination due to restricted range, few
populations or occurrences, steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.
G3 = Vulnerable — At moderate risk of extinction or elimination due to a fairly restricted range,
relatively few populations or occurrences, recent and widespread declines, threats, or
other factors.
G4 = Apparently Secure — At fairly low risk of extinction or elimination due to an extensive
range and/or many populations or occurrences, but with possible cause for some
concern as a result of local recent declines, threats, or other factors.
G5 = Secure — At very low risk or extinction or elimination due to a very extensive range,
abundant populations or occurrences, and little to no concern from declines or threats.
GH = Possibly Extinct — Known from only historical occurrences but still some hope of
rediscovery. Examples of evidence include (1) that a species has not been documented
in approximately 20-40 years despite some searching and/or some evidence of
significant habitat loss or degradation; (2) that a species has been searched for
unsuccessfully, but not thoroughly enough to presume that it is extinct or eliminated
throughout its range.
GX = Presumed Extinct — Not located despite intensive searches and virtually no likelihood of
rediscovery
GU = Unrankable — Currently unrankable due to lack of information or due to substantially
conflicting information about status or trends. NOTE: Whenever possible (when the
range of uncertainty is three consecutive ranks or less), a range rank (e.g., G2G3) should
be used to delineate the limits (range) of uncertainty.
G_? = Inexact Numeric Rank—Denotes inexact numeric rank (e.g. G3?)
G_Q = Questionable taxonomy - Taxonomic distinctiveness of this entity at the current level is
questionable; resolution of this uncertainty may result in change from a species to a
subspecies or hybrid, or the inclusion of this taxon in another taxon, with the resulting
taxon having a lower conservation priority (e.g., G3Q).
G_T_ = Infraspecific Taxon — The status of infraspecific taxa (subspecies or varieties) are
indicated by a "T-rank" following the species' global rank. Rules for assigning T-ranks
follow the same principles outlined above. For example, the global rank of a critically
imperiled subspecies of an otherwise widespread and common species would be G5T1.
GNR = Unranked – Global rank not yet assessed.
6
GNA = Not Applicable — A conservation status rank is not applicable because the species or
ecosystem is not a suitable target for conservation activities. A global conservation
status rank may be not applicable for several reasons, related to its relevance as a
conservation target. For species, typically the species is a hybrid without conservation
value, or of domestic origin.
Column 4. State rank
State ranks (a.k.a, S - rank) are assigned by the DCR-DNH Staff Zoologist in a manner similar to
that described for global ranks, but consider only factors within the political boundaries of
Virginia. For example, an animal that is endemic to Virginia (found nowhere else in the world)
will have the same global and state ranks, whereas a species that may be common in the
northeastern United States but only known from a few occurrences in Virginia will have global
and state ranks that differ. State ranks found in the Rare Animal List are explained below:
S1 = Critically Imperiled— At very high risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to very
restricted range, very few populations or occurrences, very steep declines, severe
threats, or other factors.
S2 = Imperiled — At high risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to restricted range, few
populations or occurrences, steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.
S3 = Vulnerable— At moderate risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to a fairly restricted
range, relatively few populations or occurrences, recent and widespread declines,
threats, or other factors.
S4 = Apparently Secure— At a fairly low risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to an
extensive range and/or many populations or occurrences, but with possible cause for
some concern as a result of local recent declines, threats, or other factors.
S5 = Secure— At very low or no risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to a very extensive
range, abundant populations or occurrences, with little to no concern from declines or
threats.
SH = Possibly Extirpated – Known from only historical records but still some hope of
rediscovery. There is evidence that the species or ecosystem may no longer be present
in the jurisdiction, but not enough to state this with certainty. Examples of such
evidence include (1) that a species has not been documented in approximately 20-40
years despite some searching and/or some evidence of significant habitat loss or
degradation; (2) that a species or ecosystem has been searched for unsuccessfully, but
not thoroughly enough to presume that it is no longer present in the jurisdiction.
SX = Presumed Extirpated—Species is believed to be extirpated from the state. Not located
despite intensive searches of historical sites and other appropriate habitat, and virtually
no likelihood that it will be rediscovered.
7
SU = Unrankable—Currently unrankable due to lack of information or due to substantially
conflicting information about status or trends.
S_? = Inexact Numeric Rank - Denotes inexact numeric rank (e.g., S3?).
S_S_ = Rank is uncertain, but considered to be within the indicated range of ranks (e.g., S2S4).
SNR = Unranked—State conservation status not yet assessed.
SNA = Not Applicable —A conservation status rank is not applicable because the species is not a
suitable target for conservation activities (e.g., hybrids without conservation value and
non-native species).
Breeding Status Qualifiers (mainly applied to birds in Virginia):
B = Breeding—Conservation status refers to the breeding population of the species in the
state.
N = Non-breeding—Conservation status refers to the non-breeding population of the species
in the state.
M = Migrant—Migrant species occurring regularly on migration at particular staging areas or
concentration spots where the species might warrant conservation attention.
Conservation status refers to the aggregating transient population of the species in the
state.
Column 5. Federal status:
Federal status is determined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine
Fisheries Service. This status is used for all animals listed as endangered or threatened by the
U.S. government and receiving protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. The list
also notes those species that have been formally proposed for listing or are currently
candidates under consideration for listing. The federal status formerly known as “Category 2,
candidate species” was abolished on February 28, 1996; species formerly designated as
“Category 1, candidate species” are now referred to simply as “candidate species.”
LE = Listed Endangered. A species threatened with extinction throughout all or a significant
portion of its range.
LT = Listed Threatened. A species likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future.
LE/PT = Currently listed as endangered but proposed for downlisting to threatened.
LT/SA = Listed as Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance. The species so closely resembles
an endangered or threatened species or population that enforcement personnel of the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cannot readily distinguish between the taxa (e.g., the
northern population of the bog turtle is federally listed as endangered, but turtles from
8
the southern population, which includes Virginia, are not readily distinguishable from
them).
PE = Proposed Endangered. A species proposed for listing as endangered.
PT =Proposed Threatened. A species proposed for listing as threatened.
C = Candidate. There is enough available information to propose the taxon for listing, but
listing is "precluded by other pending proposals of higher priority". The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service is "directed to make prompt use of the emergency listing if the
well-being of any such species is at significant risk." (Formerly Candidate, Category 1)
Column 6. State status:
State status is determined by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (all animals except
insects) and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (insects only). The
informal category of “Special Concern” species that was previously maintained by the Virginia
Department of Wildlife Resources was abolished by that agency on January 1, 2011.
LE = Listed Endangered; defined as a species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a
significant portion of its range.
LT = Listed Threatened; defined as a species that is likely to become endangered within the
foreseeable future.
LT/PDL Listed as Threatened but proposed for delisting (removal from the state list of
Endangered and Threatened wildlife). However, at the present time, the species is still
listed as Threatened pending further action and is thus protected under Virginia’s
Endangered Species Act.
PE = Proposed Endangered. A species proposed for listing as endangered.
PT = Proposed Threatened. A species proposed for listing as threatened.

the DCR-DNH.
