Agonocryptus
Agonocryptus is a genus of ichneumonid wasps in the subfamily Cryptinae, established by Cushman in 1929. The genus occurs exclusively in the Neotropical region. A 2022 taxonomic revision significantly expanded known distributions, adding 115 new records across 16 species and increasing documented localities by nearly 70%. The genus exhibits notable morphological variation among species, with elevation preferences varying across taxa.
Epermenioidea
Fringe-tufted Moths
Epermenioidea is a superfamily of Lepidoptera containing the single family Epermeniidae, commonly known as fringe-tufted moths. The group comprises approximately 14 genera distributed across multiple continents including Australia, Africa, Europe, and Asia. The superfamily was previously classified within Yponomeutoidea or Copromorphoidea but is now recognized as distinct based on morphological features. Taxonomic revisions continue to clarify generic boundaries and species diversity.
Sericinae
Sericinae is a subfamily of scarab beetles in Scarabaeidae. It is described as one of the larger subfamilies in that family and contains several named tribal and subtribal lineages. The classification includes Ablaberini, Diphucephalini, and Sericini; Sericini contains Astaenina, Sericina, and Trochalina. Modern species papers show that the group includes both Central Asian and South American lineages.
