Apantesis favorita
A tiger moth species in the family Erebidae, described by Berthold Neumoegen in 1890. This species was formerly placed in the genus Grammia but was transferred to Apantesis along with related tiger moth genera. It has a restricted distribution in the Great Plains sand dune ecosystems and exhibits a narrow adult flight period in late spring. The species is notable for its specialized habitat association with prairie sand dunes, a rare ecosystem type in North America.
Blissus occiduus
Western Chinch Bug
Blissus occiduus, the western chinch bug, is a phloem-feeding true bug (Hemiptera: Blissidae) that is a significant pest of warm-season turfgrasses, particularly buffalograss and zoysiagrass. The species exhibits strong host preference hierarchies, with buffalograss being the most preferred host followed by zoysiagrass, though it can survive and reproduce on a broad range of grasses including agronomic crops. Field studies have documented inconsistent control with neonicotinoid insecticides, with thiamethoxam showing particularly rapid degradation in buffalograss tissues compared to imidacloprid and clothianidin.

crinicornis
Colaspis crinicornis is a leaf beetle species in the family Chrysomelidae, native to the Great Plains of the United States. It was described by Schaeffer in 1933. Historically not considered a pest, its populations have increased substantially in corn and soybean fields in southeastern Nebraska over the past decade. The species has a univoltine life cycle, overwintering as larvae in soil and emerging as adults in summer. Adults feed on above-ground foliage while larvae feed on below-ground plant portions.
Daihinia brevipes
Great plains camel cricket
Daihinia brevipes is a camel cricket species in the family Rhaphidophoridae, commonly known as the great plains camel cricket. First described by Haldeman in 1850 as Phalangopsis brevipes, this species has been studied for its biology and potential economic importance. As a member of the camel cricket group, it is adapted to subterranean or shelter-seeking habits and is found in the Great Plains region of North America.
Macrorileya oecanthi
Macrorileya oecanthi is a species of chalcid wasp in the family Eurytomidae. It was described by William H. Ashmead in 1894. The specific epithet 'oecanthi' indicates an association with tree crickets of the genus Oecanthus, suggesting this species may be a parasitoid or inquiline associated with these orthopteran hosts. The species is known from scattered records in the eastern and central United States.
Parvindela terricola
Variable Tiger Beetle
Parvindela terricola, commonly known as the Variable Tiger Beetle, is a species of tiger beetle in the family Carabidae. The species exhibits notable color variation, with individuals ranging from bright metallic green to forms with red or purple tinting. It has been recorded in western Nebraska at the edge of its distribution, where it inhabits alkaline habitats in badlands and grassland environments. The species was formerly classified under the genus Cicindela and later Cylindera before its current placement in Parvindela. Subspecies include C. terricola kaibabensis from the Grand Canyon region.
Parvindela terricola imperfecta
Imperfect Tiger Beetle
Parvindela terricola imperfecta is a subspecies of tiger beetle formerly classified under Cicindela and later Cylindera, now placed in the genus Parvindela following elevation of the former subgenus Cylindera to generic rank. It is distinguished by bright metallic green coloration, dense setae on the head and legs, and reduced or absent elytral maculations. The subspecies name 'imperfecta' refers to the incomplete or reduced white markings on the elytra compared to other subspecies. It occurs in the Great Plains region of North America, including Nebraska.
Parvindela terricola terricola
Variable Tiger Beetle
Parvindela terricola terricola is a subspecies of Variable Tiger Beetle in the subfamily Cicindelinae. It is characterized by bright metallic green coloration, a densely setose (hairy) head and pronotum, and a cream-colored labrum. This subspecies occurs in Nebraska and surrounding regions, where it inhabits open, sandy areas. The species was formerly classified under Cicindela and later Cylindera before the elevation of the subgenus Parvindela to generic rank.
Pseudataenius socialis
Pseudataenius socialis is a species of aphodiine dung beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is known from scattered records across the central and southeastern United States. The species was described by Horn in 1871 and is placed in the tribe Eupariini within the subfamily Aphodiinae.

Scythris inornatella is a microlepidopteran moth in the family Scythrididae, commonly known as flower moths. The species belongs to a poorly studied group with many undescribed taxa. Available records indicate adults are associated with composite flowers (Asteraceae). Like other Scythris species, it is presumed to have small larvae that feed internally on plant tissues, though specific life history details for this species remain undocumented.
Serica campestris
Serica campestris is a small scarab beetle species in the family Scarabaeidae, first described by Dawson in 1919. Adults measure approximately 8.5 mm in length and are characterized by their very dark mahogany coloration with a bare, polished, and shining upper surface that lacks any sericeous or pruinose luster. The species is known from a limited distribution in the central United States.
Stictolobus borealis
Stictolobus borealis is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae, subfamily Smiliinae, described by Caldwell in 1949. The species is known from limited distributional records in Nebraska. As a member of the tribe Ceresini, it belongs to a group of treehoppers characterized by distinctive pronotal modifications. Detailed biological information for this species remains sparse in published literature.
Trichapion nebraskense
Trichapion nebraskense is a species of seed weevil in the family Apionidae. It belongs to a genus characterized by elongated rostrums and association with leguminous host plants. The species has been documented in the central United States, with records from Nebraska and surrounding regions.
Trox paulseni
Trox paulseni is a hide beetle in the family Trogidae, described by Brett C. Ratcliffe in 2016. It is currently recognized as a synonym of Glyptotrox paulseni. Like other trogids, it belongs to a group of beetles specialized in consuming dried animal remains. The species has been recorded from Kansas and Nebraska in the central United States.
