Bog Spicebush and Beetle Skip Endangered Species Protection List
Published Date: 6/17/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided that three species—the bog spicebush, Edward's Aquifer diving beetle, and Texas screwstem—don’t need to be listed as endangered or threatened right now. This means no new protections or restrictions will be added for these plants and animals at this time. The public can still share new info anytime to help keep an eye on their status.

No Federal Listing for Three Species
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that the bog spicebush (Lindera subcoriacea), Edward's Aquifer diving beetle (Haideoporus texanus), and Texas screwstem (Bartonia paniculata ssp. texana) are not warranted for listing as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act. That means no new federal protections or restrictions will be added for these plants and animals at this time. The Service also invites the public to submit new information about these species or their habitats at any time.
