Catabena sagittata
Catabena sagittata is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1913. The species is native to North America and belongs to a genus of relatively small noctuid moths. Like other members of the family Noctuidae, adults are likely nocturnal and attracted to light sources.
Cryptothelea nigrita
Negrita Bagworm Moth
Cryptothelea nigrita is a species of bagworm moth in the family Psychidae, first described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1913. The species is known from North America, with observations documented through citizen science platforms. As with other Psychidae, the larvae construct protective cases from silk and environmental materials. Adults exhibit sexual dimorphism typical of the family, with winged males and flightless females.
Magdalis striata
Magdalis striata is a species of weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by Fall in 1913. The genus Magdalis belongs to the true weevils and contains numerous species associated with woody plants. As a member of this genus, M. striata likely shares the elongated body form typical of Magdalis weevils. The species is recorded from North America.
Mumetopia occipitalis
Mumetopia occipitalis is a species of true fly in the family Anthomyzidae, described by Melander in 1913. The genus Mumetopia is a small group within Anthomyzidae, a family of small, slender flies associated with decaying plant matter and fungal substrates. Information on the biology and ecology of this species is limited.
Negalasa rubralis
Negalasa rubralis is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Chrysauginae. It was described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1913, the same year as the genus Negalasa was established. The species is extremely poorly known, with only three observations recorded in iNaturalist and minimal published documentation. It appears to be distinct from the better-known congener N. fumalis, which is found in Arizona.
Scopula benitaria
Scopula benitaria is a small geometrid moth first described from North America in 1913. It is one of many species in the diverse genus Scopula, commonly known as wave moths due to the wavy transverse lines on their wings. The species has been recorded from the southwestern United States, particularly New Mexico and Texas. Like other members of the family Geometridae, its larvae are likely 'inchworms' with reduced prolegs, though specific details of its biology remain poorly documented.
Sigela eoides
Tawny False Pug Moth, youthful sigela moth
Sigela eoides is a small moth species in the family Erebidae, first described in 1913 by Barnes and McDunnough. It is known by two common names: the Tawny False Pug Moth and the youthful sigela moth. The species occurs in North America and has been assigned MONA/Hodges number 8435. It belongs to the subfamily Scolecocampinae, a group of relatively understudied moths.
Thaumatopsis floridella
Floridian grass-veneer
Thaumatopsis floridella, commonly known as the Floridian grass-veneer, is a moth species in the family Crambidae. First described in 1913 by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough, this species exhibits a coastal distribution pattern across southeastern North America and the Caribbean. Adults are active from May through September, with a wingspan ranging from 23 to 31 mm.
Trichomagdalis atrata
wedge-shaped bark weevil
Trichomagdalis atrata is a species of weevil in the family Curculionidae, first described by Henry Clinton Fall in 1913. The species belongs to the genus Trichomagdalis, whose members are commonly referred to as wedge-shaped bark weevils. Little is known about the specific biology of this species, though its genus name suggests association with bark habitats. The species is recognized as valid in current taxonomic databases.
Varneria atrifasciella
Varneria atrifasciella is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1913. The species is known from North America and has been documented through a limited number of observations.
Xubida punctilineella
Xubida punctilineella is a crambid moth described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1913. The species is known from very few observations, with records limited to Florida in North America. Like other members of the genus Xubida, it is a small moth, but specific details about its biology remain poorly documented due to its rarity in collections and limited study.
