Elacatis immaculatus
Elacatis immaculatus is a small beetle in the family Salpingidae, first recorded from north of Mexico in a 2018 taxonomic revision of Nearctic Elacatis species. The species was originally described by Champion from Central America. The revision recognizes seven Nearctic species in the genus, with E. immaculatus representing one of two species newly documented from the region. No specific biological or ecological information is available for this species in published literature.
Smiliini
Smiliini is a tribe of treehoppers in the family Membracidae, subfamily Smiliinae, containing approximately 6 genera and at least 40 described species. Members are predominantly Nearctic in distribution and primarily feed on trees, with many species associated with oak (Quercus). The tribe was historically defined broadly to include Telamonini, but phylogenetic analysis has reinstated Telamonini as a separate tribe, narrowing the definition of Smiliini. Several genera within Smiliini, including Atymna, Cyrtolobus, Heliria, and Telamona, are not monophyletic.
