Gelae
''Gelae'' () is a genus of round fungus beetles belonging to the family Leiodidae. The beetles are found in different parts of Central America, Central and North America. They are small and rounded, feeding on slime moulds. They were originally placed in the genus ''Agathidium'' following the discovery of the first species, ''G. cognatum'', in 1878. The taxonomic position was revised with description of new species in 2004 by American entomologists Kelly B. Miller and Quentin D. Wheeler. Upon creation of the new genus, the five new species are ''Gelae baen'' (sounding like "jelly bean"), ''G. belae'' ("jelly belly"), ''Gelae donut, G. donut'' ("jelly doughnut"), ''G. fish'' ("jelly fish"), and ''G. rol'' ("jelly roll"). Discovery and taxonomy The first species of ''Gelae'' discovered was ''Agathidium cognatum'' (now ''Gelae cognatum''). John Lawrence LeConte discovered the only specimen at Marquette, Michigan, near Lake Superior, in 1878. Another specimen was found by Andrew Mat ...

Like other species in the genus ''Gelae'', it has received media attention due to its scientific name, which is a play on jelly donut.

Agathidium
''Agathidium'' is a genus of beetles in the family ''Leiodidae''. ''A. bushi'', ''A. cheneyi'' and ''A. rumsfeldi'' are species of this genus named after George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, respectively, by two former Cornell entomologists, Kelly B. Miller (now at the University of New Mexico) and Quentin D. Wheeler. According to Miller and Wheeler, the naming of the beetles (which were three of 65 species to be named) was done in homage to the political figures. The same authors named ''A. vaderi'' after the fictional Darth Vader. Some species can roll themselves up into an almost complete sphere, similar to pillbugs. Some males have horns on their left mandible In jawed vertebrates, the mandible (from the Latin ''mandibula'', 'for chewing'), lower jaw, or jawbone is a bone that makes up the lowerand typically more mobilecomponent of the mouth (the upper jaw being known as the maxilla).

Sierra Ancha
The Sierra Ancha ("broad range" in Spanish, in Western Apache: Dził Nteel - "Wide Flat Mountain") is a mountain range in Gila County, in central Arizona. It lies between Roosevelt Lake to the south, the Tonto Basin to the west, Cherry Creek to the east, and Pleasant Valley to the north. The range is one of several, including the Bradshaw Mountains, Mingus Mountain of the Black Hills, and the Mazatzal Mountains, which form a '' transitional zone'' between the lowland deserts of southern Arizona and the Colorado Plateau of northeastern Arizona. The highest point in the range is Aztec Peak, at an elevation of 2345 m (7694 ft). The Sierra Ancha is penetrated by few improved roads, and the range is cut by numerous deep, spectacular canyons, particularly on its eastern flank. Little agricultural, commercial, or residential development has taken place, though in the past asbestos mining was carried out at a mine between Asbestos and Zimmerman Points.
