Apterocyclus munroi
Apterocyclus munroi is a species of stag beetle in the family Lucanidae. The species was described from four specimens collected on Kauai, Hawaii in 1897. No confirmed observations have been made since the original collection, and the species is considered possibly extinct. It belongs to a genus of flightless stag beetles endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.

Apterocyclus palmatus
Apterocyclus palmatus is a species of stag beetle endemic to the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. It was originally described in 1922 as a subspecies of Apterocyclus honoluluensis, but is now recognized as a distinct species. The species is known from only five specimens collected in 1919 at 4,000 feet elevation. No specimens have been found in recent decades, and the species may be extinct.

Apterocyclus waterhousei
Apterocyclus waterhousei is a rare, flightless stag beetle endemic to the Hawaiian island of Kauai. It belongs to a genus of flightless beetles found only in the Hawaiian Islands. The species has been documented in several locations on Kauai in recent years.

Dactylomyia
Dactylomyia is a genus of long-legged flies in the family Dolichopodidae, comprising seven recognized species distributed across eastern North America, Central America, the Lesser Antilles, and the Hawaiian Islands. The genus was established by Aldrich in 1894 and belongs to the tribe Dactylomyiini within the subfamily Neurigoninae. One species, D. vockerothi, represents an accidental introduction to Midway Atoll in the Hawaiian Islands, likely originating from the Neotropics via the main Hawaiian islands.

Decodes asapheus
Decodes asapheus is a species of tortricid moth described by Jerry A. Powell in 1980. It belongs to the tribe Cnephasiini within the subfamily Tortricinae. The genus Decodes is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, and this species is one of several described from this isolated archipelago. Like other Cnephasiini, it is presumed to have a larval stage that feeds on plant material, though specific host records for this species are not documented.

Paranovelsis mcdonaldi
Paranovelsis mcdonaldi is a species of tiger beetle in the family Cicindelidae. The genus Paranovelsis contains species characterized by reduced or absent flight wings (brachypterous or apterous condition), an adaptation associated with restricted geographic distributions. This species is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, where it inhabits specialized microhabitats. Like other Hawaiian tiger beetles, it represents part of a distinctive insular radiation within the family.

Zaprionus
Fig Flies
Zaprionus is a genus of fruit flies in the family Drosophilidae, distinguished by conspicuous white longitudinal stripes across the head and thorax. The genus is divided into two subgenera based on stripe number: Zaprionus (even number of stripes) and Anaprionus (odd number of stripes). Species occur primarily in Africa and southern Asia, with several species showing invasive expansion. The genus is taxonomically nested within the paraphyletic genus Drosophila.
