Acanthocinus angulosus
Acanthocinus angulosus is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae, first described by Thomas Casey in 1913. It is known from North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain limited in published literature. The species belongs to a genus of wood-boring beetles whose larvae typically develop beneath bark of coniferous trees.
Dicaelus suffusus
notched-mouthed ground beetle
Dicaelus suffusus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by Casey in 1913. The genus Dicaelus, commonly known as notched-mouthed ground beetles, is characterized by distinctive mandibular structures. This species belongs to the tribe Dicaelini within the subfamily Harpalinae. Like other members of its genus, it is a predatory beetle adapted to ground-dwelling habits. The species has been recorded in the United States, with distribution spanning parts of North America.
Eunota fulgoris
Eunota fulgoris is a tiger beetle species in the subfamily Cicindelinae, originally described as Cicindela fulgoris by Casey in 1913. The species exhibits striking metallic coloration and is associated with saline or alkaline habitats in the southwestern United States and Mexico. A subspecies, E. fulgoris erronea, is endemic to the Willcox Playa area of Arizona's Sulfur Springs Valley. The species is known for its iridescent appearance, with remarkable iridescence even visible on the legs.
Lochmaeocles marmoratus
Southwestern Marbled Longhorn
Lochmaeocles marmoratus is a longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Casey in 1913. It occurs in the southwestern United States and Mexico. As a member of the tribe Onciderini, it is likely associated with woody host plants, though specific details for this species remain limited. The species epithet 'marmoratus' refers to a marbled appearance.
Oberea praelonga
Oberea praelonga is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey Jr. in 1913. It belongs to the genus Oberea, a group of small to medium-sized beetles characterized by their slender, cylindrical bodies and often cryptic coloration. The species is known from eastern Canada, with records from New Brunswick, Ontario, and Québec.
Philophuga caerulea
Philophuga caerulea is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by Casey in 1913. It occurs in Central America and North America, with records from Mexico and the United States. As a member of the subfamily Lebiinae, it belongs to a diverse group of often small, active predatory beetles. Specific ecological details and morphological traits for this species remain poorly documented in available sources.
Pterostichus putus
Pterostichus putus is a ground beetle species in the family Carabidae, described by Casey in 1913. It belongs to the large genus Pterostichus, which comprises numerous species of predatory beetles distributed primarily in the Northern Hemisphere. The species is known from the United States and is part of the diverse North American carabid fauna. Like other members of its genus, it is likely a ground-dwelling predator, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Rhadine perlevis
Rhadine perlevis is a ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Casey in 1913. The species is known from Mexico and the southwestern United States. It belongs to a genus containing several cave-dwelling species, though R. perlevis itself is not documented as a cave obligate. The genus Rhadine includes federally endangered species such as R. exilis and R. infernalis, which are restricted to cave systems in central Texas and depend on cave crickets as a food source.
Rhadine umbra
Rhadine umbra is a ground beetle species in the family Carabidae, described by Casey in 1913. It is a member of the genus Rhadine, which contains several troglobitic (cave-dwelling) species, though the specific ecology of R. umbra remains poorly documented. The species is recorded from the United States.
Stenostrophia
Stenostrophia is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Lepturinae, established by Casey in 1913. The genus contains at least three recognized species distributed in western North America. Members are associated with flowering plants in arid and semi-arid habitats. One subspecies, Stenostrophia tribalteata sierrae, has been documented from the Washoe Lake area in Nevada.
Tetraopes sublaevis
Tetraopes sublaevis is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey Jr. in 1913. Like other members of the genus Tetraopes, it is a milkweed specialist. The species is known from the United States, though specific details about its biology and distribution within North America remain poorly documented compared to better-known congeners such as T. tetraophthalmus and T. texanus.
