Brownsville milkvine leaf beetle, Texas Milkvine Colaspis
Colaspis brownsvillensis is a leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae, first described by Doris Holmes Blake in 1975 (published 1976) from specimens collected in Brownsville, Texas. The species is endemic to Texas and is closely related to Colaspis nigrocyanea. It is commonly known as the Brownsville milkvine leaf beetle or Texas Milkvine Colaspis. Very few observations of this species have been recorded, with only 20 documented observations in iNaturalist.
Dicolonus nigricentrus
Dicolonus nigricentrus is a species of robber fly (family Asilidae) described from Indonesia in 1975. The genus Dicolonus contains small to medium-sized predatory flies distributed primarily in the Oriental and Australasian regions. This species remains poorly documented in scientific literature, with minimal published information on its biology and ecology. It belongs to a family known for aerial predation on other insects.
Erichsonius brachycephalus
A small rove beetle in the genus Erichsonius, described by J.H. Frank in 1975. The species epithet 'brachycephalus' (short-headed) refers to its relatively compact head shape compared to congeners. Records are sparse, with documented occurrences in eastern North America.
Machimus adustus

Rostrolaetilia coloradella
Rostrolaetilia coloradella is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, described by Blanchard and Ferguson in 1975. It belongs to the subfamily Phycitinae, a diverse group of small moths often associated with dried plant material and stored products. The species is known from a single iNaturalist observation, indicating it is rarely documented or potentially infrequently encountered.
Rostrolaetilia texanella
Rostrolaetilia texanella is a species of pyralid moth in the subfamily Phycitinae, first described by Blanchard and Ferguson in 1975. The species is endemic to Texas and surrounding regions of the southern United States. It is a small moth with limited documented observations, reflecting its restricted range and possibly specialized habitat requirements. The genus Rostrolaetilia contains few described species, and this taxon represents one of the better-documented members of this poorly known group.
