Ptychoptera townesi is a species of phantom crane flies in the family Ptychopteridae. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The Ptychopteridae, phantom crane flies, are a small family of nematocerous Diptera. Superficially similar in appearance to other "tipuloid" families, they lack the ocelli of the Trichoceridae, the five-branched radial vein of the Tanyderidae, and the two anal veins that reach the wing margins of the Tipulidae. They are usually allied with the Tanyderidae based on similarities of the mesonotal suture, this group being called the Ptychopteromorpha.
Cryptophagidae is a family of beetles with representatives found in all biogeographic realms. Members of this family are commonly called silken fungus beetles and both adults and larvae appear to feed exclusively on fungi although in a wide variety of habitats and situations, such as rotting wood and shed animal fur and feathers. These beetles vary from about 1 to 11 millimeters long, and usually have an oval body shape with a slight "waist".
Stylurus townesi, the Townes's clubtail, is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is endemic in the United States. Its natural habitat is rivers.
Myopsocidae is a family of mouse-like barklice, belonging to the infraorder Psocetae of the order Psocodea. This family is closely related to Psocidae, with which it shares similar wing-venation, but from which it is distinguished by three-segmented tarsi.
Heptagenia is a genus of flatheaded mayflies in the family Heptageniidae. There are at least 20 described species in Heptagenia.
Sphindidae is a family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga. They are called slime mold beetles due to their exclusive feeding on slime molds during adult and larval stages, other aspects of their life history are obscure. Palaeontological discoveries since 2015 have added to the geologic history of Sphindidae, including the discovery of Libanopsis, placed in the extinct subfamily Libanopsinae.
Trachyderini is a tribe of long-horned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There are at least 140 genera and 650 described species in Trachyderini.
Ptychoptera albimana is a species of fly in the family Ptychopteridae. It can be found throughout the Palearctic but commonly found throughout Britain.
Bittacomorpha clavipes, the Eastern phantom crane fly, or Eastern North America crane fly, is a species of phantom crane fly in the family Ptychopteridae.
Bolbocerosoma pusillum is a species of beetle in the family Bolboceratidae. It is found in North America.
Mesostenus is a genus of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. There are at least 50 described species in Mesostenus.
Ptychoptera is a genus of phantom crane flies in the family Ptychopteridae. There are at least 70 described species in Ptychoptera.
Ptychoptera sculleni is a species of phantom crane flies in the family Ptychopteridae. It can be found in the far western portion of the United States, namely the states of California, Oregon, and Washington.
Climacia is a genus of spongillaflies in the family Sisyridae. There are more than 20 described species in Climacia.
Sweltsa is a genus of green stoneflies in the family Chloroperlidae. There are more than 50 described species in Sweltsa.
