The species is endemic to San Clemente Island, California, and is considered a rare and localized taxon with limited available ecological data.
Conozoa nicola
San Nicolas Grasshopper
Conozoa nicola, the San Nicolas Grasshopper, is a band-winged grasshopper species in the family Acrididae. It is endemic to San Nicolas Island, California, and was described by Rentz and Weissman in 1981.

Eucosma clementeana
Eucosma clementeana is a tortricid moth described from San Clemente Island, California in 2010. As a recently described species in the large genus Eucosma, its biology and ecology remain poorly documented. The species belongs to the Olethreutinae subfamily, whose larvae are predominantly internal feeders on plant tissues. Its restricted type locality suggests potential island endemism, though its full range requires further survey.
Insulaphylus meridianus
Insulaphylus meridianus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Weirauch in 2006. The species is endemic to the Channel Islands of California, specifically recorded from San Clemente Island and Santa Catalina Island. As a member of the genus Insulaphylus, it represents part of a lineage associated with island habitats.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service proposed it for Endangered Species Act listing in 2003, though it remains unlisted.
