Aligia californica
Aligia californica is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae, described by Van Duzee in 1925. It is native to the western United States, with records from California and Oregon. As a member of the tribe Platymetopiini, it belongs to a group of deltocephaline leafhoppers whose members are generally associated with herbaceous vegetation.
Dichomeris stipendiaria
A small gelechiid moth described by Annette Frances Braun in 1925. Adults have a wingspan of 17–18 mm and are active in mid-summer. Larvae feed on several genera of Asteraceae, including goldenrods and fleabanes. The species is restricted to western North America.
Epinotia kasloana
Epinotia kasloana is a species of tortricid moth described by James Halliday McDunnough in 1925. It belongs to the large genus Epinotia, which contains numerous small moths commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths. The species is part of the subfamily Olethreutinae and tribe Eucosmini. Like other members of its genus, it is likely a small moth with larvae that feed internally in plant tissues, though specific biological details for this species remain limited in published literature.
Strigoderma knausi
A small scarab beetle endemic to the Great Plains sand dune systems of south-central Kansas, Oklahoma, and northern Texas. Males are frequently encountered by sweeping low vegetation or at light traps, where they adopt a characteristic horizontal posture with forelegs extended and antennal clubs spread to detect female sex pheromones. The species was described from specimens collected by Warren Knaus in 1923–1925 at the type locality near Medora, Kansas, and named in his honor. Females are extraordinarily rare in collections, with only a single specimen among nearly 100 examined by Bader (1992).
