The IUCN lists the Confused moth as extinct. But, some sources say that it was rediscovered in 1997. [2]
A species that is extinct in the wild (EW) is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as known only by living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range due to massive habitat loss.
The chestnut ermine moth is an extinct species of moth in the subfamily Argyresthiinae. It was endemic to the United States. The species was only seen in two states, New Hampshire and Vermont. It became extinct due to chestnut blight obliterating its primary food source, the American chestnut.
The chestnut casebearer moth is a species of moth in the family Coleophoridae. It is endemic to the United States, where it is found in Indiana, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. It is a highly specialized species, its larvae feed specifically on the leaves of the American Chestnut. It was thought the species became extinct when many American chestnut trees died due to an infection of the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, which was accidentally introduced from Asia around 1900. However, this species was rediscovered.
