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. Three of the new species were named after Fullerton, honoring his dedication and passion for parasitic wasps and entomology: Dryinus fullertoni Olmi, Epsilogaster fullertoni Pitz, and Lissohypnus fullertoni Frank and Kelly. 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.
