<i>Aporia crataegi</i> Species of butterfly

Aporia crataegi, the black-veined white, is a large butterfly of the family Pieridae. A. crataegi is widespread and common. Its range extends from northwest Africa in the west to Transcaucasia and across the Palearctic to Siberia and Japan in the east.

Sinocyclocheilus is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae that is endemic to Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan in China. Almost all of its species live in or around caves and most of these have adaptions typical of cavefish such as a lack of scales, lack of pigmentation and reduced eyes. Several species have an unusual hunchbacked appearance and some of the cave-dwellers have a "horn" on the back, the function of which is unclear. In contrast, the Sinocyclocheilus species that live aboveground, as well as a few found underground, show no clear cavefish adaptions. They are relatively small fish reaching up to 23 cm (9.1 in) in length. The individual species have small ranges and populations, leading to the status of most of the evaluated species as threatened. Many species populations in the genus have yet to be evaluated by the IUCN.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Black-and-white snub-nosed monkey</span> Species of Old World monkey

The black-and-white snub-nosed monkey, also known as the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, is a large black and white primate that lives only in the southern Chinese province of Yunnan, where it is known to the locals as the Yunnan golden hair monkey and the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (黑白仰鼻猴). The common name, black snub-nosed monkey, is issued to Rhinopithecus strykeri, inhabiting the Northern Sino-Myanmar border. Coniferous and deciduous forests in the mountainous regions of Yunnan are the ideal terrain for these primates. It is threatened by habitat loss, and is considered an endangered species. With their unique adaptations to their environment, these monkeys thrive at extreme altitudes despite the below freezing temperatures and thin air. This primate's diet is mainly made up of the large amounts of lichens available in their region.

Ahercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It currently contains only one species, Ahercostomus jiangchenganus, known only from China. Ahercostomus was originally created as a subgenus of Hercostomus; it was later promoted to genus rank by Zhang & Yang (2005). Alternatively, Brook (2005) provisionally regards Ahercostomus as a synonym of Hercostomus.

Parahercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes four species known only from China. Members of the genus are metallic green in color and large in size, with a body length of 4.5–5.3 mm and a wing length of 5.2–7.0 mm. The generic name is a combination of the prefix para- with the generic name Hercostomus. According to Brooks (2005)'s phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Dolichopodinae, Parahercostomus appears to be closely related to Grichanov (1999)'s Afrotropical species group 1 in the genus Hercostomus, which was later transferred to the genus Afrohercostomus.
