The genus Eumeces comprises four African to Middle-Eastern skink species.
Sea Dragon or seadragon may refer to:
Protomelas taeniolatus is a Haplochromine cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi in Eastern Africa. The fish is popular in the aquarium hobby due to the bright rainbow-like colors of adult males and its relatively peaceful temperament. Juvenile and female P. taeniolatus, like many Haplochromines, do not display bright coloration.
The common seadragon or weedy seadragon is a marine fish of the order Syngnathiformes, which also includes the similar pipefishes, seahorses, and trumpetfishes among other species. Adult common seadragons are a reddish colour, with yellow and purple striped markings; they have small, leaf-like appendages that resemble kelp or seaweed fronds, providing camouflage, as well as a number of short spines for protection. As with seahorses and the other syngnathids, the seadragon has a similarly tubular snout and a fused, toothless jaw into which it captures small invertebrate prey at lightning speed. Males have narrower bodies and are darker than females. Seadragons have a long dorsal fin along the back and small pectoral fins on either side of the neck, which provide balance. Weedy seadragons can reach 45 cm (18 in) in length.
The copper-tailed ctenotus or copper-tailed skink, is a species of medium-sized skink found commonly along the eastern seaboard of Australia and throughout the country generally. Striped skinks are found in open bushland and heathland. They can grow to be 30 cm long.
The streaked kukri snake is a species of nonvenomous snake found in Asia. It is also known as the variegated kukri. The IUCN lists the species as least concern.
Protomelas dejunctus, the fire blue hap, is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi where it is only known from around Chinyankwazi Island and Chinyamwezi Island in the southern portion of the lake. It is known from depths of from 2 to 10 metres. This species can reach a length of 13.8 centimetres (5.4 in) SL. Some authorities have revised this taxon's status to that of a subspecies of Protomelas taeniolatus.
There are two species of skink named copper-tailed skink:
Baraeus is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Phyllopteryx is a genus of small fishes, commonly called seadragons, in the family Syngnathidae that are found along the western and southern coasts of Australia. Since the 19th century, the weedy or common seadragon was the only known species, until the description of the ruby seadragon in 2015. They are closely related to other members of the Syngnathidae such as the leafy seadragon, pipefish and seahorses, which all exhibit male pregnancy.
Baraeus gabonicus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1961. It is known from Gabon.
Baraeus gracilentus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1939. It is known from Tanzania.
Baraeus granulosus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1938. It is known from Mozambique, Kenya, and Somalia.
Baraeus itzingeri is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1935. It is known from Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Baraeus subvittatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1955. It is known from Cameroon.
Baraeus aurisecator is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by James Thomson in 1858. It is known from the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Cameroon, and Sierra Leone.
Baraeus orientalis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1907. It is known from Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Zambia.
Baraeus plagiatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Hintz in 1919. It is known from Cameroon.
Baraeus tridentatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1801. It is known from Nigeria, the Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and Togo.
Baraeus vittatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1913 and is known from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.
