Dictyna longispina
Dictyna longispina is a small cribellate spider in the family Dictynidae, described by Emerton in 1888. The species is known from northeastern North America, where it constructs irregular, tangled webs to capture prey. Like other Dictyna species, it possesses a cribellum—a silk-producing organ that generates woolly, adhesive silk. The specific epithet 'longispina' refers to the elongated spines characteristic of this species.
Lacinipolia incurva
Lacinipolia incurva is a small owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, described by John B. Smith in 1888. The species is restricted to the southwestern United States and adjacent regions of Mexico, with records from California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Colorado. Adults have a wingspan of approximately 25 mm. The larvae are known to feed on dead leaves of Quercus hypoleucoides (silverleaf oak), indicating a detritivorous or saprophagous feeding strategy rather than typical herbivory on living plant tissue.
Lophocampa significans
Lophocampa significans is a moth species in the family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Henry Edwards in 1888. The species is known from six U.S. states in the southwestern and central regions. Available information is limited to basic taxonomic and distributional data.
Rumatha glaucatella
Rumatha glaucatella is a small snout moth described by George Duryea Hulst in 1888. The species exhibits sexual dimorphism in wingspan, with females slightly larger than males. Its larvae are specialized feeders on Cylindropuntia cacti, particularly Cylindropuntia leptocaulis. The species is restricted to the southern United States.
