Banks-1905
Guides
Ceratinops
Ceratinops is a genus of dwarf spiders in the family Linyphiidae, restricted to North America. First described by Nathan Banks in 1905, this genus contains small-bodied species that inhabit diverse terrestrial environments. Members of this genus are part of the sheet-web building spider fauna, though specific behavioral details remain poorly documented for most species.
Dendroleon speciosus
Dendroleon speciosus is an antlion species in the family Myrmeleontidae, first described by Banks in 1905. It is found in North America. Antlions are neuropteran insects whose larvae are known for constructing pit traps to capture prey.
Lomamyia occidentalis
Lomamyia occidentalis is a species of beaded lacewing in the family Berothidae, order Neuroptera. It is native to North America and was first described by Nathan Banks in 1905. The species belongs to a small family of lacewings characterized by specialized morphological features. Very little published biological or ecological information is available for this specific species.
Nacarina robusta
Nacarina robusta is a species of green lacewing in the family Chrysopidae, order Neuroptera. The species was originally described by Nathan Banks in 1905 as Chrysopa robusta and later transferred to the genus Nacarina. It is known from North America. The genus Nacarina was established to accommodate species previously placed in Chrysopa that share distinct morphological characteristics. Like other chrysopids, this species is predatory in both larval and adult stages.
Panorpa carolinensis
Carolina scorpionfly
Panorpa carolinensis is a species of scorpionfly in the family Panorpidae, native to North America. Like other scorpionflies, it possesses the characteristic elongated rostrum and, in males, a genital capsule that curves upward resembling a scorpion's stinger. The species was described by Nathan Banks in 1905. Information regarding its specific biology, habitat preferences, and distribution within North America remains limited in published literature.
