Smilia camelus, also known as the camel treehopper, is a species of treehopper first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1803. [1]
S. camelus is distributed across the eastern portion of Canada and the United States. It is commonly found it mixed hardwood forests. [2] It is abundant across the summer months. [3]
It commonly feeds on southern red oak, turkey oak, water oak, post oak, and other species of the Quercus genus. [2]
Females are around 9 mm (0.35 in) long and males are 8 mm (0.31 in). [1] It has a high pronotum, peaking in the head rather than the middle of the pronotum. The pronotum of the female is higher than the male. [2]
The dromedary, also known as the dromedary camel, Arabian camel, or one-humped camel, is a large even-toed ungulate, of the genus Camelus, with one hump on its back.
The Bactrian camel, also known as the Mongolian camel, domestic Bactrian camel or two-humped camel, is a large even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of Central Asia. It has two humps on its back, in contrast to the single-humped dromedary. Its population of 2 million exists mainly in the domesticated form. Their name comes from the ancient historical region of Bactria.
Parachartergus apicalis is a species of wasp in the Polistinae subfamily, found in the Neotropics. It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1804. In Honduras, they are known as alas blancas, which translates into English as "white wings".
A hybrid camel is a hybrid between a Bactrian camel and dromedary.
The wild Bactrian camel is a critically endangered species of camel living in parts of northwestern China and southwestern Mongolia. It is closely related to the domestic Bactrian camel. Both are large, double-humped even-toed ungulates native to the steppes of central Asia. Until recently, wild Bactrian camels were thought to have descended from domesticated Bactrian camels that became feral after being released into the wild. However, genetic studies have established it as a separate species which diverged from the Bactrian camel about 1.1 million years ago.
Enchenopa binotata is a complex of multiple species found mostly in Eastern North America, but have also been reported in Central America. They are commonly referred to as treehoppers and are sap-feeding insects. The species in the complex look similar to each other in morphology, but are identified as different species by the host plant they occupy.
Entylia carinata, commonly known as the keeled treehopper, is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae. They can be found in Brazil, Panama, Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Keeled treehoppers are often attended by ants which feed on the honeydew they excrete. In return, the ants offer protection from predators. Keeled treehoppers typically feed on plants in the aster family and they are not known to transmit plant diseases and are not considered significant plant pests.
Telamona excelsa is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae. It was first described by Léon Fairmaire in 1846.
Xyleborus affinis, the sugarcane shot-hole borer, is a species of ambrosia beetle in the family Curculionidae. It is found on all continents with woodlands and is one of the most widespread ambrosia beetles internationally, primarily in areas with humid tropical climates like Florida. Like other ambrosia beetles, Xyleborus affinis is attracted to dead fallen logs in early stages of decay. Due to the presence of X. affinis on moist timber, this species is mistakenly believed to be the cause of tree death. However, there is insufficient evidence to support their presence as a causal factor. Rather, these beetles are believed to target and accelerate the decay process of trees that are already deteriorated and weak.
Heliocopris bucephalus, commonly known as the Elephant dung beetle, is a species of dung beetle found in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Malay Peninsula, Java, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Liatongus rhadamistus, or Scaptodera rhadamistus, is a species of dung beetle found in India, Sri Lanka, Laos and Thailand.
Telamona tiliae, also known as the basswood treehopper, is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae. It was first described by Elmer Darwin Ball in 1925.
Telamona ampelopsidis, also known as the Virginia creeper treehopper, is one of the 38 species of treehopper in the genus Telamona.
Telamona maculata is a species of treehopper. It belongs to the genus Telamona. It was first described by Edward Payson Van Duzee in 1908.
Carynota mera is a species of treehopper. It belongs to the genus Carynota in the family Membracidae. It was first described by Thomas Say in 1830 as Membracis mera.
Vanduzea segmentata is a species of treehopper belonging to the genus Vanduzea. It was first described by the British entomologist William Weekes Fowler in 1895, as Hypamastris segmentata.
Cyrtolobus dixianus is a species of treehopper belonging to the genus Cyrtolobus. It was first described by L. B. Woodruff in 1924.
Smilia is a genus of treehoppers belonging to the tribe Smiliini in the subfamily Smiliinae. There are at least two described species in the genus.
Smilia fasciata is a species of treehopper belonging to the family Membracidae. It was first described by Charles Jean-Baptiste Amyot and Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville in 1843.
Xantholobus muticus is a species of treehopper belonging to the subfamily Smiliinae.
