  • Platyplastinx

    Platyplastinx is a genus of moth flies in the family Psychodidae, established by Enderlein in 1937. The genus is poorly documented in the scientific literature, with only 11 observations recorded on iNaturalist. Members of this genus belong to the diverse group of Psychodidae, commonly known as drain flies or moth flies due to their hairy wings and bodies. Specific ecological and biological details for Platyplastinx remain largely unstudied.

  • Zanysson

    Zanysson is a strictly New World genus of digger wasps in the family Crabronidae, subfamily Bembicinae. The genus was established by Rohwer in 1921 and remained taxonomically stagnant for over 80 years until the description of Z. gemmatus from Colombia in 2007. Members are assumed to be cleptoparasites of other crabronid wasps, though direct biological observations are lacking for most species. The genus includes at least three described species distributed from the southwestern United States through Mexico to northwestern South America.
