Acmaeodera lupinae
Acmaeodera lupinae is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Nelson in 1996. It belongs to the large and taxonomically challenging genus Acmaeodera, which contains over 150 species in North America. Like other members of this genus, it is a jewel beetle with metallic coloration. The specific epithet 'lupinae' suggests an association with lupine plants (Lupinus spp.), though this relationship requires confirmation.
Elachista huron
Elachista huron is a species of micro-moth in the family Elachistidae. It was described by Kaila in 1996. The species is known from a single U.S. state, Iowa, and remains poorly documented in scientific literature. As with most members of this large genus, detailed biological information is scarce.
Negastrius rupicola
Negastrius rupicola is a click beetle species described by Wells in 1996. It belongs to the family Elateridae, a large group of beetles characterized by their ability to click and jump when threatened. The species is known from British Columbia, Canada. Very little published information exists regarding its biology, ecology, or specific habitat requirements.
Schinia subspinosae
Schinia subspinosae is a noctuid moth described by David F. Hardwick in 1996. The species is known from North America with records suggesting a distribution centered on or limited to Florida. As a member of the genus Schinia, it belongs to a diverse group of flower moths whose adults frequently rest on and feed from the blossoms of their larval host plants.
