Aracanthus
Aracanthus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae, established by Thomas Say in 1831. The genus comprises nine described species distributed primarily in South America. These weevils belong to the subfamily Entiminae and tribe Eudiagogini. The genus includes Aracanthus pallidus, one of the earliest described species originally placed in a different genus by Say.
Aracanthus pallidus
pale broad-nosed weevil
Aracanthus pallidus is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It was described by Thomas Say in 1831. The species is found in North America, with distribution records from Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, and Mississippi. As a member of the Entiminae subfamily, it possesses the characteristic short, broad rostrum typical of broad-nosed weevils.
Astenus discopunctatus
Black-tailed Tomcat Rove Beetle
Astenus discopunctatus is a rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, commonly known as the Black-tailed Tomcat Rove Beetle. The species was originally described as Paederus discopunctatus by Thomas Say in 1831. It belongs to the subfamily Paederinae, a diverse group of rove beetles often associated with leaf litter and soil habitats. The species has been documented across eastern and central North America.
Atymna inornata
Atymna inornata is a treehopper species in the family Membracidae, subfamily Smiliinae. First described by Thomas Say in 1831, this species is characterized by its relatively unadorned pronotum compared to other members of the genus. Treehoppers in this group are known for their highly modified pronota that often extend into elaborate structures, though A. inornata exhibits a more subdued morphology consistent with its specific epithet.
Bledius emarginatus
Bledius emarginatus is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, tribe Blediini. The species was described by Thomas Say in 1831. It is one of many species in the large genus Bledius, which comprises small to medium-sized beetles often associated with moist or riparian habitats.
Trichalophus alternatus
Trichalophus alternatus is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, first described by Say in 1831. It is a member of the subfamily Entiminae, which comprises the so-called 'true' weevils characterized by their elongated snouts. The species has been documented across western North America from Alaska to Colorado.
