Aulogymnus bouceki
Aulogymnus bouceki is a species of chalcid wasp in the family Eulophidae, described by Schauff and Gates in 2005. The genus Aulogymnus belongs to the subfamily Eulophinae, a group of small parasitoid wasps. The specific epithet honors the Czech entomologist Jan Bouček, a prolific contributor to chalcidoid systematics. As a member of Eulophidae, it is likely a parasitoid, though specific host associations for this species remain undocumented in the provided sources.
Cyclodinus mono
Cyclodinus mono is a species of ant-like flower beetle in the family Anthicidae, described by Chandler in 2005. The species epithet 'mono' suggests a connection to Mono Basin or Mono County in California, though this association requires confirmation. As a member of Anthicidae, it belongs to a family of small beetles commonly known as ant-like flower beetles due to their resemblance to ants. The species is recorded from North America and Middle America according to GBIF data.
Oreoleptis torrenticola
Oreoleptis torrenticola is the sole species in the monotypic genus Oreoleptis and family Oreoleptidae, a family of flies established in 2005 based on this single species. The species was described from specimens collected in the Rocky Mountains, where its larvae inhabit torrential streams and have also been found in groundwater wells. This enigmatic dipteran represents a distinct lineage whose larval morphology shows similarities to Athericidae and Tabanidae but possesses distinctive abdominal prolegs.
Planolinellus
Planolinellus is a genus of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Aphodiinae. The genus was established by Dellacasa & Dellacasa in 2005. It belongs to the tribe Aphodiini and is part of the diverse group of dung beetles and related taxa within the scarab family. Species in this genus are small to medium-sized beetles associated with decomposing organic matter.
Stiphrosoma artum
Stiphrosoma artum is a small fly species in the family Anthomyzidae, described from the northern Great Plains of North America. It is one of 13 new species described in a 2005 revision of New World Stiphrosoma. The species exhibits wing polymorphism, with both fully winged and reduced-wing individuals documented.
Stiphrosoma pectinatum
Stiphrosoma pectinatum is a species of small fly in the family Anthomyzidae, described as new to science by Roháček & Barber in 2005. It is one of 14 New World species revised in the 2005 taxonomic treatment, distinguished by specific male and female genitalic structures. The species occurs in eastern North America from Canada through the eastern United States.
Thereva smithae
Thereva smithae is a species of stiletto fly (family Therevidae) described in 2005 by Holston and Irwin. As a member of this family, it belongs to a group of predatory flies known for their distinctive elongated mouthparts and agile flight. The species is named in honor of an individual with the surname Smith. Very few observations of this species exist in public databases.
Zaischnopsis bouceki
Zaischnopsis bouceki is a species of parasitic wasp in the family Eupelmidae, described by Gibson in 2005. The genus Zaischnopsis was established to accommodate species previously placed in related eupelmid genera, distinguished by specific morphological features of the mesosoma and wing venation. This species is part of the diverse Chalcidoidea superfamily, which contains numerous parasitoids of other insects. The species epithet honors the Czech entomologist Zdeněk Bouček, who made substantial contributions to chalcidoid systematics.
