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

Page 5: €¦ · NATURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES OF VIRGINIA: RARE ANIMALS Published: September 2020 VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION DIVISION OF NATURAL …

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

Page 6: €¦ · NATURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES OF VIRGINIA: RARE ANIMALS Published: September 2020 VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION DIVISION OF NATURAL …

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

Page 9: €¦ · NATURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES OF VIRGINIA: RARE ANIMALS Published: September 2020 VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION DIVISION OF NATURAL …

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

Page 10: €¦ · NATURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES OF VIRGINIA: RARE ANIMALS Published: September 2020 VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION DIVISION OF NATURAL …

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

Page 11: €¦ · NATURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES OF VIRGINIA: RARE ANIMALS Published: September 2020 VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION DIVISION OF NATURAL …

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

Page 12: €¦ · NATURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES OF VIRGINIA: RARE ANIMALS Published: September 2020 VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION DIVISION OF NATURAL …

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.
