Aconobius densus
Aconobius densus is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Thomas L. Casey in 1914. It belongs to the genus Aconobius, a small group of tenebrionid beetles. The species is native to western North America. Like other members of its family, it is adapted to arid or semi-arid environments. Published biological information on this species is extremely limited.
Discoderus aequalis
Discoderus aequalis is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey Jr. in 1914. It is known from North America, with confirmed records from the United States. The genus Discoderus belongs to the tribe Harpalini within the subfamily Harpalinae. Like other members of this genus, it is a small to medium-sized ground beetle. The specific epithet 'aequalis' suggests some aspect of uniform or equal proportions, though the original description has not been consulted.
Discoderus congruens
Discoderus congruens is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Casey in 1914. It belongs to the genus Discoderus, a group of small to medium-sized carabids within the tribe Harpalini. The species is known from limited records in the United States, with few documented observations.
Harpalus providens
Harpalus providens is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae, described by Thomas L. Casey in 1914. As a member of the large genus Harpalus, it belongs to one of the most diverse groups of carabid beetles in North America. The species is known from limited occurrence records in Canada and the United States, with observations documented through citizen science platforms. Like other Harpalus species, it likely occupies open, dry habitats where it functions as an omnivorous ground-dwelling predator and seed-feeder.
Hartonymus hoodi
Hartonymus hoodi is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by Thomas L. Casey in 1914. It belongs to the tribe Harpalini within the subfamily Harpalinae. The species is documented from North America, with distribution records from the United States.
Micraneflus imbellis
Micraneflus imbellis is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, tribe Elaphidiini. Originally described as Aneflomorpha imbellis by Casey in 1914, it was later transferred to the genus Micraneflus. The genus Micraneflus is a small group within the diverse cerambycid fauna of North and Middle America. Very little specific biological information has been published for this species.
Pidonia densicollis
Pidonia densicollis is a species of flower longhorn beetle (subfamily Lepturinae) in the family Cerambycidae. It is distributed in the United States. The species was described by Casey in 1914. As a member of the Rhagiini tribe, it likely shares the flower-visiting habits common to many lepturines, though specific behavioral observations for this species are limited.
Polyphylla nigra
Polyphylla nigra is a scarab beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, described by Casey in 1914. It belongs to the genus Polyphylla, commonly known as lined June beetles, which are characterized by large body size and sexually dimorphic antennae. The species is distributed in western North America and parts of Mexico. Like other members of its genus, males likely possess enlarged, fan-like antennae used to detect female sex pheromones.
Selenophorus maritimus
Selenophorus maritimus is a ground beetle species in the family Carabidae, described by Thomas L. Casey in 1914. The species epithet "maritimus" (meaning "of the sea" or "maritime") suggests an association with coastal or saline environments. As a member of the genus Selenophorus, it belongs to a group of carabid beetles commonly known as seedcorn beetles, many of which are associated with agricultural habitats and moist soils. The species is documented from the United States with distribution records indicating presence in North America.
