• Dichelotarsus excursus

  Dichelotarsus excursus is a species of soldier beetle in the family Cantharidae. The taxonomic status of this species is marked as doubtful in GBIF, indicating uncertainty regarding its validity or distinctness from related taxa. Only a single observation has been recorded on iNaturalist, suggesting it is either extremely rare, poorly documented, or potentially a misidentification or synonym of another species.

• Dichrogaster chrysopae

  Dichrogaster chrysopae is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, first described by Ashmead in 1894. The species epithet "chrysopae" indicates an association with lacewings (Chrysopidae), likely reflecting a host relationship. It belongs to the genus Dichrogaster, a group of ichneumonid wasps. Available records for this species are extremely limited, with only a single observation documented on iNaturalist.

• Dolichopus lamellicornis

  Dolichopus lamellicornis is a species of long-legged fly in the family Dolichopodidae, first described by Thomson in 1869. It is currently classified as a synonym of Hygroceleuthus lamellicornis. Like other members of the genus Dolichopus, it belongs to a diverse family of small, predatory flies known for their metallic coloration and agile flight. The species is known from very few observations, suggesting it may be rare, localized, or under-recorded.
