Insects described in 1977

Oxytachina setitibia is a species of fly in the family Calliphoridae.

Orthotylus empetri is a species of bug from the Miridae family that can be found in European countries such as France and Spain.

Leptanilla japonica is an uncommon highly migratory, subterranean ant found in Japan. They are tiny insects, with workers measuring about 1.2 mm and queens reaching to about 1.8 mm, and live in very small colonies of only a few hundred individuals at a time (as compared to the 60,000 to 20,000,000 individuals of legionary ant colonies.) Its sexual development follows a seasonal cycle that affects the colony's migration and feeding habits, and vice versa. L. japonica exhibits specialized predation, with prey consisting mainly of geophilomorph centipedes, a less reliable food source that also contributes to their high rate of nest migration. Like ants of genera Amblyopone and Proceratium, the genus Leptanilla engages in larval hemolymph feeding (LHF), with the queen using no other form of sustenance. LHF is an advantageous alternative to the more costly cannibalism. Unlike any other ant, however, members of Leptanilla, including L. japonica, have evolved a specialized organ dubbed the “larval hemolymph tap” that reduces the damage LHF inflicts on the larvae. LHF has become this species' main form of nutrition.

Onega bracteata is a species of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae. It is native to parts of South America.

Acarodynerus quadrangolum is a species of wasp in the family Vespidae. It was described by Giordani Soika in 1977.

Acanthoxyla prasina, the prickly stick insect, is a stick insect in the order Phasmatodea and the family Phasmatidae. It is found throughout New Zealand, although it is less frequently reported than "common" stick insect species. It has been introduced to Britain, predominantly Cornwall and Devon, and to the south-west region of the Republic of Ireland. It has a thorny skin, which is used as camouflage.

Graphocephala fennahi (rhododendron leafhopper) is a species of leafhopper native to the United States. Its common name derives from it feeding on the sap of rhododendrons. The species was introduced to Great Britain in the 1930s and continental Europe in the 1970s. There has been suggestion that the rhododendron leafhopper contributes to the spread of a rhododendron fungus (Pycnostysanus azaleae) through Europe.

Formica talbotae is a species of ant in the subfamily Formicinae. It is native to the United States. It is named after entomologist Mary Talbot. It is a species of inquiline workerless parasites that take over nests who have recently lost their queens.

Synneuron decipiens is a species of nematoceran flies in the family Canthyloscelidae.

Valentibulla steyskali is a species of fruit fly in the family Tephritidae.
