Asiarcha oblonga is a species of Tesseratomid bug found in South Asia. The species was originally described as Mattiphus oblongus. [1]

Identification

It is similar to Asiarcha angulosa. It differs from that species by the more rectangular thorax. From Asiarcha nigridorsis, it differs because of the main colour being green, not black.

The ferns are a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular, i.e., having specialized tissues that conduct water and nutrients and in having life cycles in which the branched sporophyte is the dominant phase.

<i>Griselinia</i> Genus of flowering plants

Griselinia is a genus of seven species of shrubs and trees, with a highly disjunct distribution native to New Zealand and South America. It is a classic example of the Antarctic flora. It is the sole genus in the family Griseliniaceae. In the past it was often placed in Cornaceae but differs from that in many features.

In botanical nomenclature, a hybrid may be given a hybrid name, which is a special kind of botanical name, but there is no requirement that a hybrid name should be created for plants that are believed to be of hybrid origin. The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICNafp) provides the following options in dealing with a hybrid:

<i>Aonyx</i> Genus of carnivores

Aonyx is a genus of otters, containing three species, the African clawless otter, the Congo clawless otter, and the Asian small-clawed otter. The word aonyx means "clawless", derived from the prefix a- ("without") and onyx ("claw/hoof").

Chiayusaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur known from teeth found in China and possibly also South Korea. Two species have been named for this obscure genus, though only the type, C. lacustris, is still seen as valid. It was originally named as Chiayüsaurus, but the ICZN does not permit special characters, so the name was corrected to Chiayusaurus. The obsolete name can still be seen in older sources, though. As a sauropod, Chiayusaurus would have been a large, quadrupedal herbivore.

<i>Soomaspis</i> Marine arthropods that lived during the late Ordovician

Soomaspis is a genus of small to average size marine arthropods in the Liwiidae Family, that lived during the late Ordovician. Fossil remains of Soomaspis were collected from the Soom Shale Lagerstätte in Western Cape, South Africa. Soomaspis looks like a large, soft agnostid trilobite. It has a headshield wider than the tailshield (pygidium), and in between them three thoracic body segments (somites). The genus is monotypic, its sole species being Soomaspis splendida.

<i>Nepenthes longiptera</i> Tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra in Indonesia

Nepenthes longiptera is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the province of Aceh in the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Nepenthes longiptera differs from all other Nepenthes species from Sumatra by the presence of wings on its upper pitchers. Morphologically, this species closely resembled N. tobaica, but differs on its much larger habit, the well-developed wings of its upper pitchers, the rhomboid-shaped cross-section of the stem, and the presence of appendage under the lid.
