Trichopsenius depressus
Trichopsenius depressus is a species of rove beetle (family Staphylinidae) in the tribe Trichopseniini, first described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1863. The species epithet "depressus" refers to its flattened body form. It belongs to a group of beetles known to be associated with termites, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented in published literature. The species is recorded from the southeastern United States.
Tricyphona gigantea
Tricyphona gigantea is a species of crane fly in the family Pediciidae, described by Alexander in 1940. It is known from limited distribution records in the southeastern United States, specifically Tennessee and North Carolina. The genus Tricyphona is characterized by distinctive wing venation patterns and elongated body forms typical of Pediciidae.
Zygoballus sexpunctatus
Zygoballus sexpunctatus is a small jumping spider (3–4.5 mm) found in grassy habitats of the southeastern United States. Males possess enlarged chelicerae and front femora, and exhibit elaborate courtship and agonistic displays involving leg-raising and abdominal vibration. The species name refers to the six abdominal spots typically present in males, though these may be reduced or absent. First described by Hentz in 1845, it was later transferred to the genus Zygoballus by the Peckhams in 1888.
