Species:
Genus /ˈdʒiː.nəs/ is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.
The stork-billed kingfisher, is a tree kingfisher which is widely but sparsely distributed in the tropical Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, from India to Indonesia. This kingfisher is resident throughout its range.
The paradise flycatchers (Terpsiphone) are a genus of birds in the family Monarchidae. The genus ranges across Africa and Asia, as well as a number of islands. A few species are migratory, but the majority are resident. The most telling characteristic of the genus is the long tail streamers of the males of many species. In addition to the long tails the males and females are sexually dimorphic and have rufous, black and white plumage.
Pelargopsis is a genus of tree kingfishers that are resident in tropical south Asia from India and Sri Lanka to Indonesia.
Tympanuchus is a small genus of birds in the grouse family. They are commonly referred to as prairie chickens.
Tahla is a monotypic moth genus in the family Gelechiidae. Its only species, Tahla zadiella, is found in Tunisia. Both the genus and the species were first described by Constantin Dumont in 1932.
Himantopterus is a genus of moths in the family Himantopteridae. It was described by Constantin Wesmael in 1836.
Chavicine is an alkaloid found in black pepper and other species of the genus Piper. It is one of the four geometric isomers of piperine.
Melyridae are a family of beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea.
Caranx is a genus of tropical to subtropical marine fishes in the jack family Carangidae, commonly known as jacks, trevallies and kingfishes. They are moderate- to large-sized, deep-bodied fishes which are distinguished from other carangid genera by specific gill raker, fin ray and dentition characteristics. The genus is represented in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans, inhabiting both inshore and offshore regions, ranging from estuaries and bays to deep reefs and offshore islands. All species are powerful predators, taking a variety of fish, crustaceans and cephalopods, while they in turn are prey to larger pelagic fishes and sharks. A number of fish in the genus have a reputation as powerful gamefish and are highly sought by anglers. They often make up high amounts of the catch in various fisheries, but are generally considered poor to fair table fishes.
Xanthopappus is a genus of Chinese plants in the thistle tribe within the daisy family.
Schmalhausenia is a genus of Asian plants in the thistle tribe within the daisy family.
Prionoceridae is a small family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga. They form a group within the cleroid beetles and were formerly treated as a subfamily (Prionocerinae) within the family Melyridae. Very little is known of their life history but most species are pollen feeders as adults and occur in large numbers during spring or the host flowering season. Larvae are predatory or feed on decomposing wood.
Glossanodon is a genus of fishes in the family Argentinidae.
Frédéric Albert Constantin Weber was a French botanist, who specialized in Cactaceae.
Aleiodes is a genus of the family Braconidae of parasitoid wasps described by Constantin Wesmael in 1838. They are also known as mummy-wasps. The female attacks caterpillars of various species, including many pests such as Gypsy moths and tent caterpillars, and then deposits eggs in the caterpillars. The eggs hatch and the wasp larva feeds on the caterpillar, leaving a hardened caterpillar skin, or mummy. The wasp pupates within the mummy and eventually the adult breaks out, leaving a small hole in the husk of the caterpillar.
Malachiinae is a subfamily of soft-wing flower beetles, beetles of the family Melyridae and having a global distribution.
Discodon is a genus of soldier beetles in the family Cantharidae. There are more than 40 described species in Discodon.
Tytthonyx is a genus of soldier beetles in the family Cantharidae. There are about 19 described species in Tytthonyx.
