Agrilus bentseni
Agrilus bentseni is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It was described by Josef Knull in 1954. The species is found in North America. Like other members of the genus Agrilus, it likely develops in woody plants, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Agrilus parabductus
Agrilus parabductus is a species of jewel beetle (family Buprestidae) described by Knull in 1954. It belongs to the hyperdiverse genus Agrilus, which contains nearly 4,000 described species and is considered one of the largest genera in the animal kingdom. Like most members of its genus, this species is presumed to be a twig and branch borer utilizing recently dead wood for larval development. Specific biological details for A. parabductus remain poorly documented in published literature.
Chrysobothris beameri
Chrysobothris beameri is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It was described by Knull in 1954 and is known from North America. Like other members of the genus Chrysobothris, it is a jewel beetle with a metallic appearance.
Eupogonius arizonensis
Eupogonius arizonensis is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Josef N. Knull in 1954. The species is known from the United States, with records indicating presence in Arizona and potentially adjacent regions. As a member of the genus Eupogonius, it belongs to a group of small to medium-sized cerambycids typically associated with dead wood habitats.
Hesperorhipis jacumbae
Hesperorhipis jacumbae is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Knull in 1954. It belongs to the tribe Xenorhipidini, a group notable for extreme sexual dimorphism in male antennae. Like other members of its genus, it possesses abbreviated elytra that expose much of the abdomen. The species is found in North America, specifically in the southwestern United States.
Taphrocerus albodistinctus
Taphrocerus albodistinctus is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Knull in 1954. It is found in North America. Like other members of the genus Taphrocerus, it is likely associated with sedges (Carex spp.) in wetland or moist habitat edges, though specific host associations for this species have not been documented.
Trachykele fattigi
Trachykele fattigi is a species of jewel beetle (family Buprestidae) described by Knull in 1954. It belongs to the genus Trachykele, which is placed in the subtribe Trachykelina within the tribe Buprestini. The species is part of the Nearctic fauna of North America. Very little specific information about its biology, host associations, or distribution has been published in accessible sources.
