Coccinella is the most familiar genus of ladybird. The elytra of most species are of a red or orange colour, punctuated with black spots or bands. The genus occurs throughout the Northern Hemisphere, but has only 11 species native to North America, with far more in Eurasia.
Peucedanum is a genus of flowering plant in the carrot family, Apiaceae.
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms.
Dirofilaria is a filarial (arthropod-borne) nematode (roundworm), in the family Onchocercidae. Some species cause dirofilariasis, a state of parasitic infection, in humans and other animals.
Pyrgomorphidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera; it is the only family in the superfamily Pyrgomorphoidea. Pyrgomorphidae is found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate regions, but the vast majority of the family's approximately 500 species are from Africa, Asia and Australia. Their name is probably derived from pyrgos meaning "tower": a reference to the form (morph) of the head in the type genus Pyrgomorpha and other genera.
Xylotrechus a genus of longhorned beetles of the family Cerambycidae, containing some 200 described species.
Meganoplium is a monotypic beetle genus in the family Cerambycidae described by Linsley in 1940. Its single species, Meganoplium imbelle, was first described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1881 as Elaphidion imbelle.
Tachyporus is a genus of rove beetle in the tribe Tachyporini. It is the type genus of both the tribe Tachyporini and the subfamily Tachyporinae.
Microstomum is a genus of flatworms in the family Microstomidae.
Kosswigianella is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are about 10 described species in Kosswigianella. Some authorities have placed AcanthodelphaxLe Quesne, 1964 here as a subgenus, but this is disputed.
The Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) is a taxonomic database which attempts to cover published genus names for all domains of life from 1758 in zoology up to the present, arranged in a single, internally consistent taxonomic hierarchy, for the benefit of Biodiversity Informatics initiatives plus general users of biodiversity (taxonomic) information. In addition to containing over 490,000 published genus name instances as at March 2020, the database holds over 1.7 million species names, although this component of the data is not maintained in as current or complete state as the genus-level holdings. IRMNG can be queried online for access to the latest version of the dataset and is also made available as periodic snapshots or data dumps for import/upload into other systems as desired.
Nomenclator Zoologicus is one of the major compendia in the field of zoological nomenclature, compiled by Sheffield Airey Neave and his successors and published in 9 volumes over the period 1939–1994, under the auspices of the Zoological Society of London; a tenth, electronic-only volume was also produced before the project ceased. It contains over 340,000 published name instances with their authorities and details of their original publication, certain nomenclatural notes and cross references, and an indication of the taxonomic group to which each is assigned. An electronic (digitised) version of volumes 1-10 was released online by the uBio project, based at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, in 2004–2005.
Anthony J. J. ("Tony") Rees is a British-born software developer, data manager and biologist resident in Australia since 1986, and previously a data manager with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. He is responsible for developing a number of software systems currently used in science data management, including c-squares, Taxamatch, and IRMNG, the Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera. He has also been closely involved with the development of other biodiversity informatics initiatives including the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), AquaMaps, and the iPlant Taxonomic Name Resolution Service (TNRS).
Alboglossiphonia is a genus of Glossiphoniidae.
Batracobdella is a genus of Glossiphoniidae. This genus is valid in Europe. But in North America, it has been synonymized to Desserobdella.
Cyclocypris is a genus of ostracods in the family Candonidae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Filinia is a genus of rotifers in the family Trochosphaeridae.
Kocuria varians is a gram-positive species of bacteria in the genus Kocuria. It has been isolated from milk, meat, skin, soil, and beach sand. It is 0.9 to 1.5 micrometers in diameter, and occurs in clusters, which can be up to 4 millimeters in diameter and are yellow. It is known to cause ocular infections, brain abscesses, and endophthalmitis.
Hirudinaria is a genus of large Asian leeches belonging to the family Cylicobdellidae; previously it was placed in the Hirudinidae. It includes species such as H. manillensis that may be called "Asian medicinal leeches", but together with the genus Poecilobdella, they are also described as Asian buffalo leeches.
Pisanodon is an extinct genus of South American toxodont. The genus contains the single species Pisanodon nazari.
