The species is known from Arizona, USA, within the Nearctic region. Like other members of the genus Diplotaxis, it is likely a chafer beetle with larvae that develop in soil, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Myrmex arizonicus
Arizona antlike weevil
Myrmex arizonicus is a species of antlike weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae, native to North America. The genus Myrmex is characterized by weevils that exhibit ant-mimicry in their morphology and behavior. This species was first described by Schaeffer in 1907. As with other members of the genus, it likely occupies habitats where ant mimicry provides selective advantage, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.

Schaefferellus arizonensis is a species of scarab beetle in the subfamily Aphodiinae, described by Schaeffer in 1907. It is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. As a member of the Aphodiinae, it belongs to a group commonly known as dung beetles, though specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented.
