Aradus cf. acutus-w-tex
Aradus cf-acutus-w-tex is a flat bug in the family Aradidae, a group of true bugs commonly associated with dead wood and bark habitats. The "cf." designation and "w-tex" suffix indicate this is an informal, provisional designation referring to a western Texas population closely resembling Aradus acutus but not formally described as a distinct species. Flat bugs in this genus are typically small, dorsoventrally flattened insects that live cryptically under bark.
Cryptarcha sp-one-ariz
Cryptarcha sp-one-ariz is an undescribed or provisionally designated species within the genus Cryptarcha, a group of sap beetles (family Nitidulidae) found in Arizona. Species in this genus are associated with fermenting plant exudates and fungal substrates. The specific epithet 'sp-one-ariz' indicates this represents a distinct morphospecies recognized from Arizona collections, pending formal taxonomic description.
Enchenopa n-sp-az-ii
Enchenopa n-sp-az-ii is an undescribed species of treehopper in the family Membracidae, provisionally designated from Arizona. Treehoppers in this genus are recognized for their enlarged and often elaborately shaped pronotum that extends over the body. This species represents part of the documented but not yet formally described diversity of Enchenopa in the southwestern United States.
