Azya
Azya is a genus of lady beetles (family Coccinellidae) comprising approximately 12 described species. The genus is notable for its unusual coloration—many species display cobalt blue rather than the typical red-orange-and-black pattern of most coccinellids. Azya species are predators of scale insects, particularly in agricultural settings. The genus was established by Mulsant in 1850 and occurs primarily in the Neotropics.
Eupogonius tomentosus
Tomentous Longhorned Beetle
Eupogonius tomentosus is a longhorned beetle (Cerambycidae) described by Haldeman in 1847. It is one of approximately 40 species in the genus Eupogonius, which is characterized by small to medium-sized beetles with dense pubescence. The species has not been evaluated for conservation status. It occurs in Canada and the United States, excluding Hawaii and Alaska.
Himatolabus pubescens
Pubescent Leaf-rolling Weevil
Himatolabus pubescens is a leaf-rolling weevil in the family Attelabidae, found across North America including Canada and the United States. The species is characterized by pubescent body covering and shares the distinctive leaf-rolling behavior typical of the family, in which females cut and roll leaves to create protective chambers for egg deposition. Despite being a relatively well-documented species with over 100 iNaturalist observations, detailed ecological information remains limited.
Sapintus pubescens
antlike flower beetle
Sapintus pubescens is a species of antlike flower beetle in the family Anthicidae. It is native to North America, with records from Canada (New Brunswick, Ontario, Québec) and the United States. The species exhibits the characteristic compact, ant-like body form typical of the genus Sapintus. As with other members of Anthicidae, it likely occupies ground-level or low vegetation habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Zygota
Zygota is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Diapriidae. Members are medium-sized (2.5–4.0 mm), melanic, and pubescent with brightly colored appendages. The genus occurs in the Palearctic and Nearctic regions, with 19 species documented in Germany alone. Taxonomic boundaries between Zygota and the related genus Pantoclis have been clarified through recent morphological and DNA barcoding studies.
