Melanotus difficilis
Melanotus difficilis is a species of click beetle in the family Elateridae. Very limited information is available for this species; only one observation has been documented on iNaturalist, indicating it is either extremely rare, poorly sampled, or potentially a taxonomic synonym. The genus Melanotus contains numerous species of wireworms and click beetles, many of which are soil-dwelling larvae that feed on plant roots.

Melymacra
Melymacra is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae, established by Schwartz in 2004. It belongs to the diverse infraorder Cimicomorpha within the true bugs (Heteroptera). The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with minimal published information on its species composition, biology, and ecology. Available records indicate extremely few observations, suggesting either genuine rarity, cryptic habits, or undercollection.
