The species epithet honors Edward Riley, a noted coleopterist and indefatigable collector of beetles. As a member of the genus Anthonomus, it belongs to a group commonly known as flower weevils or bud weevils, many of which are associated with specific host plants. The species was described relatively recently, and detailed biological information remains limited.

As a member of the large genus Anthonomus, it belongs to a group commonly known as cotton boll weevils and their relatives. The species was described relatively recently, and detailed biological information remains limited in publicly available sources.
Diogmites bilobatus
Diogmites bilobatus is a robber fly species (Diptera: Asilidae) described by Barnes in 2010 from museum specimens. It closely resembles the widespread D. angustipennis and occurs in the south-central and southwestern United States and northern Mexico.

Eucosma viridis is a species of tortricid moth described in 2010 by Wright and Gilligan. It belongs to the large genus Eucosma, which comprises numerous small moths commonly known as bell moths or leafroller moths. As a recently described species, detailed biological information remains limited.
Hentzia alamosa
Hentzia alamosa is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae, described by Richman in 2010. The species is currently known only from Texas in the United States. As a member of the genus Hentzia, it belongs to a group of diminutive jumping spiders characterized by sexually dimorphic morphology, particularly enlarged and often darkened front legs in males. Very little is known about its specific biology or ecology.
Hydroscapha redfordi
Hydroscapha redfordi is a species of skiff beetle in the family Hydroscaphidae, described in 2010 from specimens collected in the southwestern United States. The species is named in honor of actor and conservationist Robert Redford. Members of this genus are among the smallest beetles, inhabiting thin water films on rocks in streams and waterfalls.
Leptusa gimmeli
Leptusa gimmeli is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, described from Tennessee in 2010. It belongs to the genus Leptusa, a group of small, often overlooked staphylinids. The species was established based on specimens collected in the eastern United States. As a recently described taxon, detailed biological information remains limited.
Margarinotus thomomysi
clown beetle
Margarinotus thomomysi is a species of clown beetle in the family Histeridae, described by Caterino in 2010. The specific epithet suggests an association with pocket gophers of the genus Thomomys. It is known from California, USA.
Osmia palmula
Pseudomarimatha flava
A small noctuid moth described in 2010, known only from a restricted range in the southwestern United States. The species epithet "flava" (yellow) likely refers to coloration, though specific details of appearance remain poorly documented in published literature.
Sarcophaga cadyi
Sarcophaga cadyi is a species of flesh fly in the family Sarcophagidae, described by Giroux and Wheeler in 2010. It belongs to the subgenus Bulbostyla within the genus Sarcophaga. Like other members of Sarcophagidae, this species exhibits the characteristic dull gray coloration with thoracic stripes typical of the family. Species-level identification in this genus generally requires examination of male genitalia due to limited external diagnostic characters.
