Erichsoniina
Erichsoniina is a subtribe of rove beetles (Staphylinidae) within the tribe Staphylinini. It was established by Brunke & Solodovnikov in 2016 based on phylogenetic analysis of the Staphylinini tribe, which had historically been taxonomically problematic. The subtribe contains genera previously classified in the informal 'Erichsonius group' and is characterized by specific morphological and molecular traits that distinguish it from other subtribes within Staphylinini. As a recently defined taxon, its membership and boundaries continue to be refined through ongoing systematic research.
Herpetogrammatini
Herpetogrammatini is a tribe of moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae, family Crambidae, containing seven genera and approximately 286 species. The tribe was erected in 2019 based on molecular phylogenetic studies that resolved relationships within the species-rich Spilomelinae. It includes economically significant genera such as Herpetogramma, which contains species with leaf-rolling larval habits. The tribe represents a recently defined taxonomic grouping that reorganized previously scattered classifications within the Crambidae.
Nitidolimonius
Nitidolimonius is a genus of click beetles (Elateridae) described by Johnson in 2008. The genus is native to North America, with documented records from Vermont and elsewhere in the United States. As a relatively recently described taxon, its species-level diversity and biology remain incompletely documented.
Palaeopherocera
Palaeopherocera is a genus of stiletto flies (family Therevidae) described in 2005. The genus name suggests an ancient or primitive relationship to the genus Pherocera, a related therevid genus. As a member of Therevidae, it belongs to a family of predatory flies known for their distinctive larval biology and adult morphology. The genus is relatively recently described and appears to be poorly represented in collections.
Quernocoris
Quernocoris is a genus of true bugs in the family Miridae, established by Weirauch in 2006. As a recently described genus within the plant bug family, it belongs to the diverse and speciose Miridae, one of the largest families within the Heteroptera. The genus represents part of the ongoing taxonomic refinement within Cimicomorpha, though detailed biological information remains limited in available literature.
