Agathidium bushi , Agathidium cheneyi , and Agathidium rumsfeldi is species of coleopters which were named respectively according to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld, by two former entomologists of the Université of Cornell, Dr. Kelly B. Miller (today with the Brigham Young University) and Dr. Quentin D.
