Anisotoma expolita
Anisotoma expolita is a species of small carrion beetle in the family Leiodidae, described by W. J. Brown in 1937. It belongs to the tribe Anisotomini, a group commonly associated with decaying organic matter and fungal habitats. The species is recorded from several states in the eastern and central United States.
Cryptocephalus cerinus
Cryptocephalus cerinus is a species of case-bearing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America. The species was described by B. White in 1937 and includes two recognized subspecies: C. c. cerinus and C. c. nevadensis. As a member of the genus Cryptocephalus, adults and larvae construct and carry protective cases from their own fecal material and shed skins, a distinctive trait of the group.
Haplaxius nigrifrons
Haplaxius nigrifrons is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, first described by Ball in 1937. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini within the subfamily Cixiinae. The species is known from Texas based on distribution records. As with other cixiid planthoppers, it is likely associated with vascular plants, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Leptogaster arenicola
Leptogaster arenicola is a species of robber fly (family Asilidae) described by James in 1937. As a member of the genus Leptogaster, it belongs to a group of slender, elongate predatory flies commonly known as gnat-ogres. The specific epithet 'arenicola' (meaning 'sand-dwelling') suggests an association with sandy habitats, though specific ecological details for this species remain undocumented in the available sources. The species is currently accepted in taxonomic databases but lacks published biological studies.
Lionothus ulkei
A small carrion beetle in the family Leiodidae, described by W.J. Brown in 1937. The species is known from scattered records across the eastern and south-central United States. Like other members of its family, it is associated with decomposing organic matter.
Memnonia albolinea
Memnonia albolinea is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae, described by Ball in 1937. The species name refers to a white line marking, characteristic of the specific epithet. It belongs to the tribe Hecalini, a group of grass-feeding leafhoppers. The genus Memnonia contains multiple North American species, with M. albolinea documented from Arizona.
Mycomya dichaeta
Mycomya dichaeta is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae, described by Fisher in 1937. It belongs to the subfamily Mycomyinae. The species epithet "dichaeta" refers to the characteristic two-bristled condition of certain body parts. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with fungal habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Phobetus saylori
Phobetus saylori is a species of scarab beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, described by Cazier in 1937. It belongs to the tribe Phobetusini within the subfamily Melolonthinae. The species is known from a small number of observations and has a restricted distribution in western North America.
Rupela segrega
Rupela segrega is a moth species in the family Crambidae, described by Carl Heinrich in 1937. It is known from a limited range in the eastern United States, with records from Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Maryland. The species exhibits sexual dimorphism in wingspan, with males measuring 26–33 mm and females 28–38 mm. Adults are active during two distinct periods: spring (April–July) and fall (September–October).
Stenopogon breviusculoides
Stenopogon breviusculoides is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, subfamily Stenopogoninae. The species was described by Bromley in 1937. As a member of the Stenopogoninae, it belongs to a group of generally small to medium-sized robber flies. Robber flies in this subfamily are predatory insects that capture other arthropods in flight.
