Pseudozelota punctipennis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Bernhard Schwarzer in 1930, originally under the genus Acanthocacia . [1]
Beetles are a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera, in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently. The largest of all families, the Curculionidae (weevils) with some 80,000 member species, belongs to this order. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.
The insect family Nabidae contains the damsel bugs. There are over 500 species in 20 genera. They are soft-bodied, elongate, winged terrestrial predators. Many damsel bugs catch and hold prey with their forelegs, similar to mantids. They are considered helpful species in agriculture because of their predation on many types of crop pests.
Anopheles punctipennis is a species of mosquito in genus Anopheles. It is native to North America.

Exocentrus punctipennis is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Mulsant and Guillebeu in 1856, and is known from southern Europe and the Caucasus. The beetles inhabit elm trees. They measure 3.5–6 millimetres (0.14–0.24 in) long, and can live for approximately 1–2 years.
Euceraphis punctipennis, the downy birch aphid or European birch aphid, is a species of aphid in the order Hemiptera. These aphids are tiny green insects with soft bodies and membranous wings. They are found living on downy birch trees where they feed and multiply on the buds and leaves by sucking sap.
