Johann Friedrich Gustav von Eschscholtz was a Baltic German physician, naturalist, and entomologist. He was one of the earliest scientific explorers of the Pacific region, making significant collections of flora and fauna in Alaska, California, and Hawaii.
Eleodes is a genus of darkling beetles, in the family Tenebrionidae. They are endemic to western North America ranging from southern Canada to central Mexico with many species found along the Mexico-United States border. Some species have been introduced to Colombia.

Buprestinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following genera in the tribes Anthaxiini, Buprestini, Chrysobothrini, Melanophilini, and Xenorhipidini:
Chrysochroinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Buprestidae: the "jewel beetles".

Agalmatidae, or Agalmidae, is a family of siphonophores.
Eucnemidae, or false click beetles, are a family of elateroid beetles including about 1700 species distributed worldwide.
