Hemiplatytes parallela
A small moth in the family Crambidae, described by William D. Kearfott in 1908. It is known from a restricted range in the southwestern United States. The species has been documented in only two states and remains poorly studied, with limited published information on its biology or ecology.
Listrochelus tarsalis
Listrochelus tarsalis is a species of scarab beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Melolonthinae, described by Schaeffer in 1908. It belongs to the genus Listrochelus, a group of rhizotrogine scarabs. Distribution records indicate occurrence in Arizona, USA. Like other melolonthine scarabs, it likely exhibits a subterranean larval stage and adult emergence patterns typical of the subfamily.
Microcrambus polingi
Microcrambus polingi is a small moth species in the family Crambidae, described by William D. Kearfott in 1908. The species is known only from the southwestern United States, specifically Arizona. It belongs to a genus of grass-veneer moths, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Nasusina
Nasusina is a genus of small geometrid moths in the subfamily Larentiinae, established by Pearsall in 1908. The genus contains five described species distributed in western North America, ranging from California to British Columbia. Members are characterized by their diminutive size and relatively plain wing patterns. The genus name reflects the distinctive snout-like projection of the labial palps in some species.
Pandeleteius robustus
Pandeleteius robustus is a species of broad-nosed weevil described by Schaeffer in 1908. The species belongs to the genus Pandeleteius within the family Curculionidae. Distribution records indicate presence in southeastern Arizona (Cochise and Santa Cruz counties) and North America broadly. Very little detailed biological information has been documented for this species.
Panscopus alternatus
A weevil species in the family Curculionidae, described by Schaeffer in 1908. Records indicate presence in the southeastern United States. The genus Panscopus belongs to the tribe Byrsopagini within the subfamily Entiminae.
Thaumatopsis crenulatella
Thaumatopsis crenulatella is a small moth in the family Crambidae, first described by William D. Kearfott in 1908. The species is known from a limited geographic range in the southwestern United States. It belongs to the subfamily Crambinae, which includes many grass-associated moths. Published records remain sparse, with few documented observations.
