Ceratagallia nanella nanella
Ceratagallia nanella nanella is a subspecies of leafhopper originally described from Arizona by Oman in 1933. It is currently treated as a synonym of Aceratagallia nanella, reflecting taxonomic revisions that merged the genus Ceratagallia into Aceratagallia. The subspecies designation has not been maintained in recent literature. Records are limited to the type locality region.
Dolurgus
Dolurgus is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae, established by W.J. Eichhoff in 1868. As a member of the Curculionoidea superfamily, it possesses the characteristic elongated snout (rostrum) typical of weevils. The genus is taxonomically accepted but poorly documented in modern literature, with limited species-level information available.
Elasmini
Elasmini is a historical subfamily name in the family Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), erected by Förster in 1856. It is currently treated as a synonym and is no longer recognized as a valid taxonomic rank within Eulophidae. The name reflects early attempts to subdivide the diverse eulophid wasps based on morphological groupings that subsequent research has not supported as monophyletic.
Lesmone aenaria
Lesmone aenaria is a moth species originally described by Druce in 1890. Currently treated as a synonym of Lesmone detrahens (Walker, 1858), this taxon represents a historical name that has been subsumed under a broader species concept. The species belongs to the family Erebidae, subfamily Erebinae, a diverse group of nocturnal moths commonly known as underwings and related forms. Records indicate presence in North America.
Marmopteryx
Marmopteryx is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae, established by Packard in 1874. The genus is currently considered a synonym of Stamnodes, with its type species Marmopteryx morrisata (Hulst, 1887) now placed as Stamnoctenis morrisata. The genus is known from a single species originally described from the northeastern United States.
Orthopleurinae
Orthopleurinae is a subfamily of checkered beetles (family Cleridae) established by Böving and Craighead in 1931. It is currently treated as a synonym of Korynetinae in modern classifications. The group contains few documented observations, with only 8 records in iNaturalist. Its members belong to the superfamily Cleroidea within the diverse beetle suborder Polyphaga.
Phalacropsis
Phalacropsis is a genus of moths in the family Drepanidae, established by Swinhoe in 1895. It is currently treated as a synonym of Liocrops. The genus belongs to the subfamily Drepaninae, commonly known as hook-tip moths, characterized by distinctive wing shapes.
