Admontia nasoni
Admontia nasoni is a species of tachinid fly described by Coquillett in 1895. Tachinid flies in this genus are parasitoids, though specific host associations for this species remain undocumented. The species is recorded from Canada and the United States.
Alaudes singularis
Alaudes singularis is a species of darkling beetle (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) described by George Henry Horn in 1870. The genus Alaudes is a small group within the large family Tenebrionidae, commonly known as darkling beetles. The species epithet 'singularis' suggests it may have been considered distinctive or unique at the time of description. Very limited information is available for this species beyond its taxonomic placement and type locality in Mexico.
Amaurochrous ovalis
Amaurochrous ovalis is a species of stink bug in the family Pentatomidae, described by Barber & Sailer in 1953. The genus Amaurochrous belongs to the tribe Podopini, a group of pentatomids often associated with ground-dwelling or cryptic habitats. Very little specific information has been published about the biology or ecology of this particular species.
Callidium sequoiarium
Callidium sequoiarium is a species of longhorned beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Fisher in 1920. As a member of the genus Callidium, it belongs to a group of wood-boring beetles typically associated with coniferous trees. The species epithet "sequoiarium" suggests a potential association with sequoia or related conifers, though specific host records have not been documented in the available sources. The species is recognized as valid but appears to be rarely encountered or reported.
Conocalama
Conocalama is a genus of ichneumonid wasps established by Hopper in 1939. It belongs to the family Ichneumonidae, one of the largest families of parasitoid wasps. The genus is poorly documented in published literature, with minimal species-level information available. Records in biodiversity databases indicate it is rarely encountered or reported.
Cryptoramorphus floridanus
Cryptoramorphus floridanus is a species of beetle in the family Ptinidae, first described by White in 1966. The genus Cryptoramorphus belongs to the spider beetle group, though specific details about this particular species remain scarce. Records indicate its presence in North America, with the species epithet suggesting a Florida association. Only a single observation has been documented on iNaturalist, indicating it is rarely encountered or underreported.
Dasylophia saturata
Dasylophia saturata is a species of moth in the family Notodontidae, described by Barnes in 1901. It belongs to the subfamily Nystaleinae, a group of prominent moths. The genus Dasylophia is characterized by distinctive morphological features including prominent tufts and modified setae on the body. As with other notodontid moths, adults are nocturnal and larvae feed on woody plants.
Dichagyris mizteca
Dichagyris mizteca is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae, originally described as Carneades mizteca by Schaus in 1894. It belongs to a genus of owlet moths primarily distributed in western North America. Very few documented observations exist, with only one record in iNaturalist as of the data cutoff. The species appears to be rarely encountered or potentially underreported.
Distigmoptera texana
Distigmoptera texana is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae, described by Blake in 1943. The genus Distigmoptera is part of a diverse group of leaf beetles, though specific ecological and biological details for this species remain poorly documented. Records indicate presence in North America and Middle America.
Hesperocimex coloradensis
Colorado Bed Bug
Hesperocimex coloradensis, commonly known as the Colorado bed bug, is a species of bed bug in the family Cimicidae. It was described by List in 1925. The species occurs in Central America and North America, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Mallota bequaerti
Spot-winged Mimic Fly
Mallota bequaerti is a species of syrphid fly (flower fly) in the family Syrphidae, described by Hull in 1956. The species is currently considered a synonym of Imatisma bequaerti in some taxonomic databases. Like other members of the genus Mallota, it is presumed to be a bumble bee mimic based on related species, though specific observations of this species are sparse.
Pnirontis brimleyi
Pnirontis brimleyi is a species of assassin bug in the family Reduviidae, described by Blatchley in 1926. It belongs to the subfamily Stenopodainae, a group characterized by raptorial forelegs adapted for capturing prey. The species is known from North America, with distribution records documented in the southeastern United States. Available information is limited, with only one observation recorded in iNaturalist.
Rhysophora robusta
Rhysophora robusta is a species of shore flies in the family Ephydridae, described by Cresson in 1924. The genus Rhysophora belongs to the diverse family of brine flies and shore flies, which are typically associated with aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats. Very little specific biological information has been published for this particular species. The single iNaturalist observation suggests it remains rarely encountered or underreported.
Tortistilus pacificus
Tortistilus pacificus is a species of treehopper (family Membracidae) first described by Van Duzee in 1908. The species belongs to the tribe Ceresini within the subfamily Smiliinae. As a member of the Hemiptera, it possesses piercing-sucking mouthparts typical of true bugs. Very little specific ecological or behavioral information has been published for this particular species.
