• Dioryctria banksiella

  Dioryctria banksiella is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, described in 1969 from Canadian specimens. The larvae develop within galls formed by the western gall rust fungus (Cronartium harknessii) on jack pine (Pinus banksiana) trunks. Early instars feed on gall tissue beneath the bark, while later instars mine deeper into the gall. The species is known only from western and central Canada.

• Diphyus apiculatus

  Diphyus apiculatus is a species of ichneumon wasp described by Walkley in 1958. It belongs to the family Ichneumonidae, one of the largest families of parasitoid wasps. The species has been recorded from multiple localities in Alberta, Canada. As a member of Diphyus, it likely functions as a parasitoid of other insects, though specific host records for this species remain limited.

• Diphyus provancheri

  Diphyus provancheri is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Cushman in 1925. The genus Diphyus belongs to the subfamily Ichneumoninae, a large group of parasitoid wasps. Records indicate this species has been documented in the Edmonton region of Canada. Like other members of its genus, it is presumed to be a parasitoid, though specific host associations remain undocumented.

• Diplolepis rosaefolii

  Diplolepis rosaefolii is a gall wasp in the family Cynipidae that induces distinctive lenticular (lens-shaped) galls on the leaves of rose plants across Canada. The species exhibits an alternation of generations life cycle typical of cynipid wasps, with a bisexual spring generation producing the visible galls and an agamic (asexual) winter generation of wingless females. In Ontario and Quebec, it is primarily associated with native Rosa acicularis, though populations have been documented on the cultivated hybrid rugosa shrub rose 'Thérèse Bugnet'. The galls support a diverse component community including multiple parasitoid wasp species and inquilines.

• Empoa bella

  Empoa bella is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Hamilton in 1983. The genus Empoa belongs to a group of leafhoppers known for producing brochosomes—nanoparticle coatings that make their exoskeletons superhydrophobic and anti-reflective. Records indicate this species occurs in the Canadian Maritime provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. As with other Empoasca-related leafhoppers, it likely shares the characteristic brochosome-producing morphology, though species-specific biological details remain poorly documented.

• Enargia decolor

  Pale Enargia, Aspen Twoleaf Tier Moth

  A noctuid moth with boreal-transcontinental distribution across North America, primarily associated with trembling aspen and related poplar species. Adults are active in late summer, with larvae capable of reaching outbreak densities that cause extensive defoliation of host stands. The species shows a disjunct western distribution pattern that may represent cryptic diversity.
