Also in the famous beetle category: Agra katewinsletae is a species of carabid beetle named after English actress of "Titanic" fame Kate Winslet. The researchers note that in the movie, Winslet's character "did not go down with the ship, but we will not be able to say the same for this elegant canopy species, if all the rain forest is converted to pastures."

In the same paper, he also named one species of beetle after Arnold Schwarzenegger, because of its "markedly developed (biceps-like) middle femora of the males of this species reminiscent of the actor's physique." It was collected in Costa Rica. The beetle shown is a different species of carabid, or ground, beetle (golden ground beetle, Carabus auratus).
