Guides
Agrilus abjectus
Agrilus abjectus is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by George Henry Horn in 1891. The species is native to North America. Like other members of the hyperdiverse genus Agrilus, it is presumed to be associated with woody plants, though specific host associations and biological details remain undocumented. The species is rarely encountered and poorly known compared to more widespread congeners.
Eleodes longipilosa
Eleodes longipilosa is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Horn in 1891. The species belongs to the large genus Eleodes, commonly known as clown beetles or stink beetles, which are characterized by their defensive head-stand posture when threatened. Specific ecological and behavioral details for E. longipilosa remain poorly documented in published literature. The species name 'longipilosa' suggests long pilosity (hairiness), though this characteristic has not been explicitly described in available sources.
Epicauta heterodera
Epicauta heterodera is a species of blister beetle in the family Meloidae, first described by Horn in 1891. It belongs to the large genus Epicauta, which contains numerous North American species. The species is known from North America, with museum holdings indicating it is represented in collections though not among the most commonly encountered Epicauta species. Like other blister beetles, it possesses chemical defenses based on cantharidin.
