Guides
Agrilus egeniformis
Agrilus egeniformis is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Champlain and Knull in 1923. It is found in North America and has been reared from honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) and western soapberry (Sapindus saponaria). The species is one of several jewel beetles associated with honey locust, though unlike the economically significant Agrilus difficilis, it develops in dead wood rather than living trees. Adults are relatively large for the genus and can be distinguished from similar species by specific morphological features.
Penestragania
Penestragania is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Iassinae, tribe Hyalojassini. The genus was established by Beamer & Lawson in 1945 and is native to North America. The species Penestragania apicalis has been recorded as invasive in Eastern Europe, where it was first detected in Donetsk, Ukraine in July 2020. Members of this genus are specialized phytophages associated with woody host plants.
Pilophorus walshii
Pilophorus walshii is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Uhler in 1887. The species is known from eastern North America, with records from Georgia, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. It has been documented feeding on Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) foliage. The species has been the subject of life history studies combining field observations with laboratory rearing.
