Moldenke-1970
Guides
Anomoea rufifrons occidentimutabilis
A subspecies of case-bearing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. Described by Moldenke in 1970 from western North American populations of Anomoea rufifrons. The subspecific epithet "occidentimutabilis" suggests variability in western populations. Like other members of the genus, adults are associated with woody vegetation and are case-bearers in the larval stage.
Coleothorpa axillaris quadratominor
Coleothorpa axillaris quadratominor is a subspecies of case-bearing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It was described by Moldenke in 1970. The species is part of the genus Coleothorpa, which belongs to the tribe Clytrini within the subfamily Cryptocephalinae. Members of this genus construct protective cases from fecal material, a characteristic behavior of the Clytrini. The subspecific epithet 'quadratominor' suggests a diminutive or reduced quadrate (square) feature relative to the nominate subspecies.
Saxinis saucia immaculata
A subspecies of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae, described by Moldenke in 1970. As a member of the genus Saxinis, it belongs to a group of case-bearing leaf beetles. The subspecies epithet "immaculata" suggests a lack of spots or markings compared to the nominate form. Distribution records indicate presence in Middle America and North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented.
