• Curicaberis ferrugineus

  Curicaberis ferrugineus is a species of huntsman spider (family Sparassidae) native to North and Central America. It was originally described by C. L. Koch in 1836 under the genus Olios and later designated as the type species of the newly erected genus Curicaberis in 2015. The male was described and illustrated for the first time in the 2015 taxonomic revision. The species is one of nine transferred from Olios to Curicaberis, part of a broader reorganization of Sparassidae systematics in the Americas.

• Malacodea pulchraria

  A Nearctic geometrid moth transferred from the genus Epirrita to Malacodea based on molecular phylogenetic evidence. It forms a sister-taxon relationship with the Palearctic Malacodea regelaria, with both species sharing conifer-feeding larvae that distinguish them from other Operophterini. Male genital morphology supports this close phylogenetic relationship. The species was originally described by Taylor in 1907.
