Acmaeodera vulturei
Acmaeodera vulturei is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Knull in 1938. The species belongs to the large genus Acmaeodera, which contains over 150 species in North America and is particularly diverse in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Like other members of its genus, it exhibits metallic coloration typical of jewel beetles. The specific epithet honors an individual, following a pattern seen in related species descriptions from the same era.
Acmaeoderopsis jaguarina
Acmaeoderopsis jaguarina is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, first described by Knull in 1938. It belongs to the genus Acmaeoderopsis, a group of small to medium-sized jewel beetles. The species is known from the Nearctic region of North America. Like other buprestids, it likely exhibits the family's characteristic metallic coloration and association with woody vegetation, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Paratyndaris tucsoni
Paratyndaris tucsoni is a species of jewel beetle (family Buprestidae) in the subfamily Polycestinae. It was described by Knull in 1938 and belongs to the subgenus Paratyndaris (Paratyndaris) Fisher. The genus Paratyndaris is a southwestern and Mexican group of beetles that are often poorly represented in collections. A 2004 revision by Nelson & Bellamy recognized three subgenera within Paratyndaris and provided comprehensive taxonomic treatment of the genus.
Pseudomethoca quadrinotata
Pseudomethoca quadrinotata is a species of velvet ant in the family Mutillidae, described by Knull in 1938. The genus Pseudomethoca is part of the diverse velvet ant fauna of North America, characterized by aposematic coloration and the wingless condition of females. This species is among the relatively small number of Pseudomethoca species documented in the region.
Typocerus acuticauda standishi
Typocerus acuticauda standishi is a subspecies of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lepturinae. As a member of the 'flower longhorn' group, adults are diurnal and associated with flowers. The subspecies was described by Knull in 1938. Very little specific information is documented for this subspecies; most biological knowledge must be inferred from the species level or genus level.
Zyginama spectabilis
Zyginama spectabilis is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Typhlocybinae. It was described by Knull and Auten in 1938. The genus Zyginama belongs to the tribe Erythroneurini, a group of small, often colorful leafhoppers commonly known as sharpshooters or leafhoppers. Members of this tribe are frequently associated with specific host plants and are known for their distinctive wing venation patterns.
