The checklist below is available for download and represents just over 100 taxa found within the Granite Mountains bioregion, most of which have been vouchered on Center lands. Vouchers are mostly housed in the UC Riverside Entomology Museum, but many can be found in the small teaching collection at the Center. Taxa that have only been observed (marked with *) are only added to the list if there is a certain level of confidence on the ID and it represents a taxon that had not previously been recorded here. A taxon labeled with “indet. sp.” indicates it was indeterminable beyond a certain rank. Each scientific name is linked to a profile page on the Iowa State University BugGuide. To learn more about the species, click on the double arrow to the right of the name (⇒); this will take you to the iNaturalist taxon page.
