• Agoliinus aleutus

  Agoliinus aleutus is a scarab beetle species in the subfamily Aphodiinae, distributed across northern regions of North America and the Russian Far East. The species was described from the Aleutian Islands, as reflected in its specific epithet. It belongs to a genus of dung beetles, though specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented in available literature.

• Berninelsonius hyperboreus

  Beringian Click Beetle

  Berninelsonius hyperboreus is a click beetle (family Elateridae) endemic to the Beringian region of the Arctic. The species was described by Gyllenhal in 1827 and represents one of the few elaterid beetles adapted to extreme northern environments. It is known from a very small number of observations and collections, reflecting both its restricted range and the difficulty of accessing its habitat. The genus Berninelsonius is monotypic, containing only this species.

• Boloria natazhati

  Beringian fritillary, cryptic fritillary, Pleistocene fritillary

  Boloria natazhati is a small fritillary butterfly endemic to northwestern North America. It is found in alpine and subalpine habitats from northwestern Canada to northern British Columbia. The species has a narrow flight period in mid-summer and is associated with rocky, open terrain. Its common names reference its Beringian distribution and cryptic appearance.

• Euxoa nomas

  Euxoa nomas is a noctuid moth species described by Nikolay Grigoryevich Erschoff in 1874. The species has a disjunct distribution spanning western Asia (Iran and Turkestan) and northwestern North America (Alaska and Canada). Between 1987 and 2010, populations were treated as two separate subspecies—E. n. nomas in Asia and E. n. incognita in North America—though these subspecific designations have since been revised. The species belongs to the large and diverse genus Euxoa, commonly known as darts, which includes numerous agricultural pest species.

• Paradelphacodes paludosus

  Paradelphacodes paludosus is a species of planthopper in the family Delphacidae, first described by Flor in 1861. It belongs to a genus of small, delicate insects commonly known as delphacid planthoppers. Very little specific biological information has been published for this species. Distribution records indicate occurrence across a broad geographic range spanning northern Europe through eastern Asia, including Alaska and parts of Russia and China.
