Acmaeodera bivulnera
Acmaeodera bivulnera is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by George Henry Horn in 1894. The species occurs in Central America and North America. Like other members of this large genus, it belongs to a group of jewel beetles characterized by their metallic coloration and flower-visiting behavior, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented.
Chrysobothris bicolor
Chrysobothris bicolor is a jewel beetle species in the family Buprestidae, described by George Henry Horn in 1894. It belongs to the large and taxonomically challenging genus Chrysobothris, which contains numerous species groups characterized by subtle morphological differences. The species epithet "bicolor" likely refers to distinctive coloration patterns, though specific color details are not documented in the provided sources. As with other members of its genus, it presumably develops as larvae in dead or dying wood of host plants.
Lystronychus championi
Lystronychus championi is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by George Henry Horn in 1894. As a member of this diverse beetle family, it belongs to a group known for their adaptation to arid environments and nocturnal habits. The species epithet honors an individual named Champion, likely the collector or another person significant to its discovery. Very little specific biological information is available for this particular species.
