• Battaristis

  Battaristis is a genus of small moths in the family Gelechiidae, a large and diverse group of microlepidoptera commonly known as twirler moths. The genus contains multiple species, including at least one undescribed species that has been documented but not formally named in scientific literature. Gelechiidae moths are characterized by their relatively small size and often subtle coloration. Species within Battaristis are poorly documented in public sources, with limited information available regarding their biology, distribution, and distinguishing characteristics.

• Elachista glenni

  Elachista glenni is a small moth in the family Elachistidae, described by Kaila in 1996. It is known from limited records in the United States, specifically Illinois and Florida. As a member of the genus Elachista, it belongs to a large group of microlepidoptera commonly known as grass-miner moths, though specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented.

• Huleechius marroni

  Huleechius marroni is a species of riffle beetle (family Elmidae) described by Brown in 1981. It belongs to the genus Huleechius, a group of aquatic beetles adapted to flowing water habitats. The species is known from Middle America and North America. Like other elmids, it is presumed to inhabit freshwater streams and rivers, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.

• Leucrocuta minerva

  Leucrocuta minerva is a species of mayfly in the family Heptageniidae, described by McDunnough in 1924. It belongs to a genus of small to medium-sized flat-headed mayflies commonly known as "little yellow quills" or similar vernacular names. Species in this genus are typically associated with running water habitats. The specific epithet "minerva" refers to the Roman goddess of wisdom, though the etymological reasoning behind this choice is not documented in available sources.

• Nixe lucidipennis

  clear-winged flat-headed mayfly

  Nixe lucidipennis is a species of flat-headed mayfly in the family Heptageniidae, distributed across North America. The species was described by Clemens in 1913. It is known from a limited number of observations, with records indicating presence in the Nearctic region. As a member of the genus Nixe, it belongs to a group of mayflies characterized by their flattened head morphology and association with running water habitats.

• Osbornellus alatus

  Osbornellus alatus is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae, described by Beamer in 1937. It belongs to a genus of small, active insects commonly found in North American habitats. Leafhoppers in this family are known for their jumping ability and plant-feeding habits, though specific ecological details for this species remain limited in published literature.

• Phylloxera myristica

  Phylloxera myristica is a gall-forming insect in the family Phylloxeridae, closely related to aphids. Like other phylloxerans, this species induces abnormal plant growths (galls) on host plants through chemical secretions that manipulate plant development. The insect develops within these protective structures, which provide both shelter and nutrition. Specific host associations and detailed biology for this species remain poorly documented in available literature.

• Phylloxera tuberculifera

  Phylloxera tuberculifera is a gall-forming insect species in the family Phylloxeridae, first described by Duncan in 1922. As with other phylloxerans, this species induces abnormal plant growths (galls) on host plants through chemical secretions that redirect plant tissue development. The species belongs to a genus containing several economically significant pests, particularly of pecan and grape. Specific host associations and detailed biology for P. tuberculifera remain poorly documented in published literature.

• Pseudozonitis roseomaculatis

  Pseudozonitis roseomaculatis is a species of blister beetle in the family Meloidae, first described by Dillon in 1952. As a member of the subfamily Nemognathinae, it possesses the characteristic elongated maxillary mouthparts adapted for feeding on nectar from deep-corded flowers. The species is known from North America, though specific details regarding its biology, host associations, and habitat preferences remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

• Rhyacionia blanchardi

  Rhyacionia blanchardi is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, described by Miller in 1978. It belongs to the genus Rhyacionia, a group commonly known as pine tip moths. The species is part of the subfamily Olethreutinae and tribe Eucosmini. Published records for this species are limited, with no documented observations in major biodiversity databases as of the latest data compilation.

• Saperda cretata

  Spotted Apple Tree Borer

  Saperda cretata is a longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Newman in 1838. It is distributed across Canada and the United States. The species is commonly known as the Spotted Apple Tree Borer, indicating a likely association with apple and related trees in the rose family (Rosaceae). Like other members of the genus Saperda, it is expected to have larvae that bore into wood, though specific details of its biology remain poorly documented in available sources.

• Stagmomantis californica

  California mantis, California mantid

  Stagmomantis californica is a native California praying mantis and one of approximately 20 native mantis species in the United States. It is one of three native mantid species in California, alongside Stagmomantis limbata and Litaneutria minor. The species is characterized by dark bands on abdominal tergites, a potentially diagnostic feature when examined with male genitalia. Basic biological information including morphology, biometry, life history, and ecology remains incomplete for this species.
