Acanthoscelidius guttatus
minute seed weevil
Acanthoscelidius guttatus is a species of minute seed weevil described by Dietz in 1896. It belongs to the family Curculionidae, the largest family of beetles. The species is recorded from North America. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with seeds as a food source, though specific host plants remain undocumented.
Diplotaxis rufa
Rufous Scarab Beetle
Diplotaxis rufa is a scarab beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Melolonthinae. The species was described by Linell in 1896. Records indicate presence in the southeastern United States, specifically Florida and Georgia. As a member of the genus Diplotaxis, it belongs to a group commonly known as May beetles or June beetles, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.

Gloveria howardi is a moth species in the family Lasiocampidae, described by Dyar in 1896. Originally placed in the genus Dendrolimus, it was later transferred to Gloveria. The species is known from very few observations, with only two research-grade records documented in iNaturalist. As a member of the tent caterpillar family Lasiocampidae, adults are presumed to be non-feeding with reduced mouthparts, though this has not been directly confirmed for this species.
Macaria decorata
Macaria decorata is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae, first described by George D. Hulst in 1896. It belongs to the diverse genus Macaria, which contains numerous species of inchworm moths distributed primarily across North America. The species is documented in entomological collections and has been recorded in biodiversity databases, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Mycterophora monticola
Mycterophora monticola is a species of moth in the family Erebidae, subfamily Calpinae, described by George Duryea Hulst in 1896. The specific epithet "monticola" (mountain-dwelling) suggests an association with montane habitats. Records indicate presence in North America. The genus Mycterophora belongs to a group of moths commonly known as underwings or related forms, though detailed natural history information for this particular species appears limited in available sources.
Pristiphora siskiyouensis
Pristiphora siskiyouensis is a sawfly species in the family Tenthredinidae, first described by Marlatt in 1896. The species is part of a genus containing numerous sawfly species, many of which are associated with coniferous hosts. Like other Pristiphora species, it likely exhibits the typical sawfly life cycle with larvae feeding on plant foliage. The specific epithet "siskiyouensis" suggests a connection to the Siskiyou Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest.
Sigela penumbrata
Stippled Sigela Moth
Sigela penumbrata, commonly known as the stippled sigela moth, is a small moth species in the family Erebidae. It is native to North America, with documented occurrences in Tennessee and Florida. The species was described by Hulst in 1896.
