Aphis pawneepae
Aphis pawneepae is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae, described by Hottes in 1934. The species is currently accepted in taxonomic databases, though some sources list it as a synonym. Very little is known about its biology, ecology, or distribution. Records indicate it has been observed at least 18 times on iNaturalist, but detailed studies of its morphology, host associations, and life history appear to be lacking in the available literature.
Argoporis alutacea
Argoporis alutacea is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Casey in 1890. The genus Argoporis is part of a diverse group of beetles commonly found in arid and semi-arid environments. Very little specific biological information has been published for this species. Records indicate a distribution in Mexico.
Eoreuma callista
Eoreuma callista is a species of moth in the family Crambidae, first described by Klots in 1970. It is known from the southwestern United States, specifically Arizona and New Mexico. Little is documented about its biology, ecology, or economic significance. The genus Eoreuma includes other species such as E. loftini (Mexican rice borer), a major agricultural pest, but E. callista itself has not been reported as a crop pest.
Graphocephala marathonensis
Graphocephala marathonensis is a little-known leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Olsen in 1918. It belongs to a genus noted for colorful, patterned species often called 'sharpshooters.' The species has been documented from Texas and Michoacán, Mexico, but remains poorly studied compared to congeners like G. coccinea. Available information on its biology is sparse, with host-plant associations and seasonality noted as subjects requiring further investigation.
