Ommatissus lybicus [1] [2] is a species of planthoppers in the subfamily Tropiduchinae, recorded from Libya through the Middle East to Pakistan.
Ommatissus lybicus may be known as the dubas bug or date palm hopper and is a significant pest of date palms: with sap sucking resulting in sooty mould formation on leaves. [3]

A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, a group exceeding 12,500 described species worldwide. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers. However, planthoppers generally walk very slowly. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, though few are considered pests. The infraorder contains only a single superfamily, Fulgoroidea. Fulgoroids are most reliably distinguished from the other Auchenorrhyncha by two features; the bifurcate ("Y"-shaped) anal vein in the forewing, and the thickened, three-segmented antennae, with a generally round or egg-shaped second segment (pedicel) that bears a fine filamentous arista.

Gyraulus acronicus is a small species of freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails.
Teinopalpus aureus, the golden Kaiser-i-Hind, is a species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae. It is found in China and possibly Vietnam. Considered an endangered species threatened by the wildlife trade, it is protected by Chinese law. Species distribution models show that montane forests in mid to high elevations within Southern China, Laos, and Vietnam are suitable habitats of T. aureus. However, they have poorly connected habitat networks and many of these areas are facing deforestation and severe climate change effects.
