Irbisia mollipes
plant bug
Irbisia mollipes is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Van Duzee in 1917. It belongs to the genus Irbisia, commonly known as black grass bugs. The species is found in North America, with confirmed records from California.
Neoparentia caudata
Neoparentia caudata is a species of long-legged fly in the family Dolichopodidae, subfamily Sympycninae. First described by Van Duzee in 1917, this species is currently accepted in the genus Neoparentia. The genus Neoparentia is part of the diverse Dolichopodidae family, which comprises thousands of species of predatory flies known for their elongated legs. Very little specific information is available about the biology or ecology of this particular species.
Oncopsis californica
Oncopsis californica is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, described by Van Duzee in 1917. The species is known from limited collection records in western North America, specifically California and British Columbia. As a member of the genus Oncopsis, it belongs to a group of leafhoppers typically associated with woody host plants, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.
Reptalus exoptatus
Reptalus exoptatus is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1917. It belongs to a genus of small to medium-sized fulgoroid insects characterized by their reduced wing venation and often cryptic coloration. The species has been documented in western North America, with records spanning from British Columbia to several western U.S. states. Like other cixiids, it is presumed to have plant-sucking mouthparts and a life cycle that likely involves root-feeding nymphal stages, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Synecdoche albicosta
Synecdoche albicosta is a species of planthopper in the family Achilidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1917. It belongs to the subfamily Myconinae and tribe Plectoderini. The species is recorded from California. Like other achilid planthoppers, it is a member of the infraorder Fulgoromorpha within the order Hemiptera.
