Anomala carlsoni
Anomala carlsoni is a species of scarab beetle described by Hardy in 1976. It is currently recognized as a synonym of Leptohoplia carlsoni in some taxonomic databases, reflecting ongoing taxonomic uncertainty in the Rutelinae subfamily. The species is known from California, USA, placing it within the Nearctic realm. Like other members of the genus Anomala, it belongs to the chafer group of scarab beetles, though specific ecological and biological details remain undocumented in the available literature.
Apanteles diacrisiae
Apanteles diacrisiae is a species of braconid wasp described by Risbec in 1951. According to GBIF and Catalogue of Life records, this name is currently treated as a synonym of Apanteles bambeytriplus. The genus Apanteles belongs to the subfamily Microgastrinae, a diverse group of small parasitoid wasps (typically 1-5 mm) that are among the most common parasitoids recovered from caterpillars. Species in this genus are known to parasitize lepidopteran larvae, with many showing high host specificity.
Aphoebantus fumosus
Aphoebantus fumosus is a species of bee fly in the family Bombyliidae, first described by Coquillett in 1892. The genus Aphoebantus belongs to the subfamily Anthracinae and tribe Aphoebantini. Some authorities have suggested that the genus Epacmus may represent a subset of Aphoebantus rather than a distinct genus. The species has been documented in western North America, with observations in juniper woodland habitats in New Mexico.
Erosia incendiata
Erosia incendiata is a moth species in the family Uraniidae, first described by Guenée in 1857. It has been treated under both the genus Erosia and Epiplema, reflecting historical taxonomic uncertainty. The species is part of a small family of moths that includes both day-flying and nocturnal species, some with distinctive wing shapes. Observations on iNaturalist suggest it occurs in tropical regions, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Eusarca detractaria
Eusarca detractaria is a species of geometrid moth described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1916. The species is placed in the genus Eusarca, though some taxonomic sources have historically treated it under Euchlaena. It belongs to the subfamily Ennominae, a diverse group of inchworm moths. Documentation of this species is sparse, with minimal observational records available.
Platphalonidia lavana
Platphalonidia lavana is a small tortricid moth described by Busck in 1907. It occurs throughout North America, with confirmed records from Alberta and Manitoba in Canada. The species has been placed in both Phalonidia and Platphalonidia, reflecting ongoing taxonomic uncertainty. It occupies terrestrial habitats and lacks a global conservation status assessment.
Psellidotus novella
Psellidotus novella is a soldier fly species in the family Stratiomyidae, subfamily Stratiomyinae. The genus Psellidotus belongs to the tribe Stratiomyini, a group characterized by aquatic larvae and adults that often exhibit striking eye patterns. Species in this genus are poorly known in the Neotropics, with most known only from original descriptions. The specific epithet "novella" suggests a relatively recent description, though detailed published information on this particular species remains limited.
