Dendrocoris neomexicanus
A species of stink bug in the family Pentatomidae. The genus Dendrocoris is associated with woody vegetation, though species-level biology for D. neomexicanus remains poorly documented. The specific epithet suggests a connection to New Mexico, likely reflecting type locality or primary distribution.
Orthotylus fuscicornis
Orthotylus fuscicornis is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Knight in 1927. It belongs to the subfamily Orthotylinae, a group of mirids often associated with woody plants. The species has been documented from Colorado, USA, and is part of the Nearctic fauna. Like other members of its genus, it is likely a phytophagous insect feeding on plant sap, though specific host plant records for this species appear to be limited in the available literature.
Sternidius punctatus
flat-faced longhorn
Sternidius punctatus is a species of flat-faced longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is a small longhorned beetle that has been collected from woody vegetation, particularly New Mexico locust (Robinia neomexicana), in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The species was originally described by Haldeman in 1847 under the basionym Amniscus punctatus. Like other members of the genus Sternidius, it is associated with deciduous trees and shrubs.
