Eupogonius pauper is a small longhorned beetle species in the family Cerambycidae, described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852. It is known from the United States and Canada, with records extending from Manitoba and Ontario to the eastern United States.

Prolyctus exaratus
Prolyctus exaratus is a small beetle in the family Bothrideridae, a group known for their associations with wood-boring insects. The species was described by Melsheimer in 1846 and is recorded from North America. Bothriderids are generally considered ectoparasitoids or predators of other beetles, particularly those developing in dead wood. Observations of this species are sparse, with limited documentation of its biology.
