Apionichthys is a genus of mostly freshwater American soles native to South America.
The currently recognized species in this genus are: [1]
The green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae) are a family of obligately anaerobic photoautotrophic bacteria. Together with the non-photosynthetic Ignavibacteriaceae, they form the phylum Chlorobi.
The New World porcupines, family Erethizontidae, are large arboreal rodents, distinguished by their spiny coverings from which they take their name. They inhabit forests and wooded regions across North America, and into northern South America. Although both the New World and Old World porcupine families belong to the Hystricognathi branch of the vast order Rodentia, they are quite different and are not closely related.
Parotocinclus is a genus of fish in the family Loricariidae native to South America. This genus is distributed through almost all hydrographic systems in South America from the Guyana Shield drainages and Amazon Shield tributaries to the coastal drainages of eastern and southeastern Brazil, including the rio São Francisco basin. Most species have the caudal peduncle oval in cross section. It has been found that Characidium species may interact with P. maculicauda. The small Characidium will follow grazing P. maculicauda, which release particulate matter dislodged from the catfish's foraging.
Lacandonia is a mycoheterotrophic plant that contains no chlorophyll and has the unusual characteristic of inverted positions of the male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) floral parts, something that had not been seen in any other plants with the occasional exception of some individuals of the related Triuris brevistylis.
Titanoboa is an extinct genus of very large snakes that lived in what is now La Guajira in northeastern Colombia. They could grow up to 12.8 m (42 ft) long and reach a weight of 1,135 kg (2,500 lb).
The dolphin genus Sotalia is considered to have two member species with the classification of Sotalia guianensis as a distinct species from Sotalia fluviatilis in 2007. This was a result of recent morphometric analyses, as well as mitochondrial DNA analysis.
Emblemaria is a genus of chaenopsid blennies found throughout the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
The Thermoleophilia are a newly proposed class of Actinobacteria that was created from the splitting of the Rubrobacteridae, due to its phylogenetic branching order.
Agastachys odorata, commonly known as the white waratah, is the sole member of the genus Agastachys in the protea family. It is an evergreen shrub to small tree and is endemic to the heaths and button grass sedgelands of western Tasmania. It occurs most often in moist heath and scrub and occasionally in the alpine regions, but generally prefers well-drained but poor soils. It can grow in some rainforests where it forms a small tree but is normally a shrub in all other situations. The heaviest concentrations are along the island's south coast. Its leaves are dark green, hairless and almost succulent. Masses of white flowers are produced in erect spikes from the ends of the branches. Measuring 8 to 12 cm high, they appear in January and February.
Achirus is a genus of American soles native to tropical and subtropical parts of the Americas. They are mainly found in coastal areas, including salt and brackish water, but some species are found in fresh water.
Trinectes is a genus of American soles native to the Americas. Most species are coastal, occurring in both salt and brackish water, but several may enter fresh water and one, T. hubbsbollinger, is restricted to rivers. They are fairly small, with the largest species only reaching 25 cm (9.8 in) in length.
Anomaloglossus is a genus of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. The genus is endemic to the Guiana Shield in northern South America. It used to be placed in the family Dendrobatidae, and is still placed in that family by some sources. The name of the genus, from the Greek anomalos and glossa (=tongue), refers to the unusual tongue bearing the median lingual process, the only unambiguous phenotypic synapomorphy of this genus.
Hyaenodonta is an extinct order of hypercarnivorous eutherian mammals from clade Ferae. Hyaenodonts were important mammalian predators that arose during the early Paleocene in Africa and persisted well into the late Miocene.
The longtail sole is a species of sole in the family Achiridae. It was described by Johann Jakob Kaup in 1858. It inhabits the Amazon, Corantijn, Grajaú, Orinoco, and Oyapock rivers. It dwells at a depth range of 1 to 10 m. It reaches a maximum total length of 15 cm (5.9 in), more commonly reaching a TL of 11 cm (4.3 in).
Apionichthys finis is a species of sole in the family Achiridae. It was described by Carl H. Eigenmann in 1912, originally under the genus Soleonasus. It inhabits the Essequibo, Potaro and Amazon rivers. It reaches a maximum standard length of 8.8 cm (3.5 in).
Apionichthys menezesi is a species of sole in the family Achiridae. It was described by Robson Tamar da Costa Ramos in 2003. It inhabits the Amazon, Negro, Napo and Orinoco rivers. It reaches a maximum standard length of 6 cm (2.4 in).
Apionichthys nattereri is a species of sole in the family Achiridae. It was described by Franz Steindachner in 1876, originally under the genus Solea. It inhabits the Amazon River. It reaches a maximum standard length of 23.4 cm (9.2 in).
Apionichthys rosai is a species of sole in the family Achiridae. It was described by Robson Tamar da Costa Ramos in 2003. It is found in the Amazon River. It reaches a maximum standard length of 3.5 cm (1.4 in).
Apionichthys sauli is a species of sole in the family Achiridae. It was described by Robson Tamar da Costa Ramos in 2003. It inhabits the Orinoco and Meta rivers in South America. It reaches a maximum standard length of 7 cm (2.8 in).
Apionichthys seripierriae is a species of sole in the family Achiridae. It was described by Robson Tamar da Costa Ramos in 2003. It is found in the Amazon River. It reaches a maximum standard length of 8.8 cm (3.5 in).
