  • Meriola

    Meriola is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Trachelidae, established by Nathan Banks in 1895. The genus contains approximately 24 species distributed primarily in South America, with some species extending into North America. Several species have been introduced to the United States, notably Meriola arcifera in California and Hawaii. The genus is taxonomically distinct from a homonymous genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae.

  • Ozaena

    ozaena beetles

    Ozaena is a genus of ground beetles in the family Carabidae, subfamily Paussinae. These beetles belong to the tribe Ozaenini, which includes species with specialized morphological adaptations. Members of this genus are rarely encountered, with limited observational records. The genus has been documented since the early 19th century, with Olivier establishing the taxon in 1812.

  • Thryallis

    Thryallis is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Anisocerini) established by Thomson in 1858. The genus is known to include species that function as wood-boring agricultural pests. Thryallis undatus has been documented damaging Persian lime orchards in Veracruz, Mexico, where larvae tunnel into trunks and branches causing tree mortality. The genus name has been subject to nomenclatural confusion with a plant genus of the same name in Malpighiaceae.
