The UCFC material collected from various habitats in Central Florida has been used as voucher specimens for descriptive taxonomy. To date, a total of 36 new species (24 in Hymenoptera, 10 in Coleoptera and 2 in Diptera) have been described based on recently-collected material. Given the thoroughness of the UCFC holdings that include highly diverse lineages of insects, many more unrealized new species await descriptions. Below is a list of new species resulting from the UCFC holdings (holotypye or paratype) in chronological order.
