Centrinogyna
flower weevils
Centrinogyna is a genus of flower weevils in the family Curculionidae, established by Thomas Lincoln Casey in 1892. The genus contains six described species distributed in North America. All species were described by Casey between 1892 and 1920, with the exception of C. strigata, which was originally described by LeConte in 1876. As members of Curculionidae, adults possess the characteristic elongated snout (rostrum) with mouthparts at the tip. The genus has not been subject to extensive modern taxonomic revision.
Eleodes arcuata
Eleodes arcuata is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, first described by Thomas Lincoln Casey in 1884. The species belongs to the genus Eleodes, a diverse group of beetles commonly known as clown beetles or desert stink beetles. Records indicate this species occurs in Mexico. Like other members of Eleodes, it is likely adapted to arid or semi-arid environments, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Leptoscydmus cavifrons
Leptoscydmus cavifrons is a species of minute rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Scydmaeninae. It was described by Thomas Lincoln Casey in 1897. The species belongs to the tribe Leptoscydmini, a group of small beetles often referred to as ant-like stone beetles due to their morphology and behavior. Records indicate presence in the eastern United States.
Liodessus
Liodessus is a genus of small diving beetles in the family Dytiscidae, tribe Bidessini. Species occur across the Americas from North America through the Andes to southern South America, with notable diversity in high-altitude wetlands and páramo ecosystems. Many species inhabit shallow, exposed pools and temporary water bodies, showing phenotypic plasticity in body form correlated with habitat permanence. The genus contains numerous species, with several new species described from the high Andes of Peru and Colombia in recent years. Taxonomic resolution relies heavily on male genital morphology.

Plesiobaris aemula is a species of flower weevil in the family Curculionidae. It was described by Thomas Lincoln Casey in 1892. The species is found in North America.
Spalacopsis texana
Spalacopsis texana is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Thomas L. Casey in 1891. It belongs to the subfamily Agapanthiinae and tribe Agapanthiini. The species is known from the southern United States and Mexico. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with woody vegetation, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
