Agallia bidactylata
A small leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, described by Oman in 1933. It belongs to the tribe Agalliini, a group of leafhoppers often associated with herbaceous vegetation. The species is documented from Arizona and is characterized by distinctive genital structures that aid in identification.
Alabagrus stigma
Alabagrus stigma is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, first described by Brullé in 1846. As a member of the genus Alabagrus, it belongs to a group of braconid wasps known for their role as parasitoids of other insects. The species is documented in the Catalogue of Life and NCBI Taxonomy databases, with 35 observations recorded on iNaturalist. Specific ecological and biological details remain limited in available sources.
Ctenichneumon columbianus
Ctenichneumon columbianus is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Heinrich in 1961. The genus Ctenichneumon belongs to the subfamily Ichneumoninae, a diverse group of parasitoid wasps. Species in this genus are characterized by distinctive comb-like structures on the hind tibiae. Like other ichneumonids, C. columbianus is presumed to be a parasitoid of other insects, though specific host records for this species are not well documented.
Cydia colorana
Cydia colorana is a species of tortricid moth in the family Tortricidae, first described by Kearfott in 1907. It belongs to the genus Cydia, which includes several economically significant agricultural pests such as the codling moth (C. pomonella) and the filbertworm (C. latiferreana). Very little specific information is available about this particular species compared to its better-known congeners.
Diogmites perplexus
Orphulella punctata
Orphulella punctata is a slant-faced grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is distributed across South America, with confirmed records from Argentina, Bolivia, and multiple regions of Brazil. The species belongs to a genus characterized by slanted facial profiles and grass-feeding habits. Detailed biological studies for this species are limited; most ecological knowledge comes from congeneric species in North America.
Paravilla mercedis
Paravilla mercedis is a species of bee fly in the family Bombyliidae, described by Coquillett in 1887. It occurs in arid and semi-arid regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. As a member of the tribe Villini, it shares the characteristic bee-like appearance common to this group of flies.
Physegenua obscuripennis
Physegenua obscuripennis is a species of lauxaniid fly described by Bigot in 1857. The genus Physegenua contains small to medium-sized flies in the family Lauxaniidae, a group characterized by often patterned wings and bodies. Records of this species are sparse, with limited observational data available.
