Cypherotylus
pleasing fungus beetles
Cypherotylus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae, containing over 30 described species. The genus is frequently encountered in literature under the unavailable name "Gibbifer," which is permanently invalid under ICZN Article 11.4 due to its origin in Voet's work. Species in this genus are associated with fungal substrates and exhibit the characteristic morphology of fungus-feeding beetles in this family.
Ecyrus dasycerus
Rough-coated Longhorned Beetle
Ecyrus dasycerus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Thomas Say in 1827. It is known from North America, with records from the United States and Mexico. The species exhibits two recognized subspecies: the nominate E. d. dasycerus and E. d. floridanus described by Linsley in 1935. Like other members of the subfamily Lamiinae, it is a wood-associated beetle whose larvae develop in dead or dying woody plants.

indistincta
Olceclostera indistincta is a moth species in the family Apatelodidae, originally described by Henry Edwards in 1886 under the basionym Apatelodes indistincta. The species is currently treated as a synonym of Olceclostera angelica in the GBIF backbone taxonomy. It has been documented from the northeastern United States, specifically Vermont. As a member of Apatelodidae, it belongs to a family of medium-sized moths with larvae that often feed on woody plants.
Pachyonychis
A genus of flea beetles (family Chrysomelidae) established by H. Clark in 1860, containing a single described species, Pachyonychis paradoxa. The genus name has been subject to taxonomic confusion due to its similarity to the related genus Pachyonychus.
Phidippus cardinalis
cardinal jumper
Phidippus cardinalis is a jumping spider in the family Salticidae, commonly known as the cardinal jumper. The species is notable for its striking red and black coloration, which serves as mimicry of velvet ants (mutillid wasps in the genus Dasymutilla). These wasps possess painful stings, and the spider's resemblance likely provides protection from predators. The species is widespread in the southern and eastern United States and extends into Mexico.

Tibicen is a suppressed genus name in the cicada family Cicadidae, officially rejected by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 2021. Originally published by Latreille in 1825 and made available by Berthold in 1827, the name was applied to over 100 cicada species across the Northern Hemisphere during the 20th century, particularly to North American dog-day cicadas. Longstanding nomenclatural controversy centered on whether the original publications validly established the genus, with competing type species designations creating taxonomic confusion. The 2021 suppression placed Tibicen on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology. Former European species now reside in genus Lyristes, while North American and Asian species have been reassigned to genera including Neotibicen, Megatibicen, Auritibicen, and Hadoa.
