Celestus striatus is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. [1] It is found in possibly in Jamaica.
Celestus is a genus of diploglossid lizards endemic to Jamaica and containing about 11 species, though three of these may be extinct. Formerly, this genus had more than 31 species, but a 2021 phylogenetic study found this classification to be paraphyletic and split those species into their own genera.
The eastern chipmunk is a chipmunk species found in eastern North America. It is the only living member of the chipmunk subgenus Tamias, sometimes recognized as a different genus. The name "chipmunk" comes from the Ojibwe word ᐊᒋᑕᒨ ajidamoo, which translates literally as "one who descends trees headlong." First described by Mark Catesby in his 1743 The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands, the chipmunk was eventually classified as Sciurus striatus by Linnaeus, meaning "striped squirrel" in Latin. The scientific name was changed to Tamias striatus, meaning "striped steward," by Johann Illiger in 1811.
The striped polecat - also called the African polecat, zoril, zorille, zorilla, Cape polecat, and African skunk - is a member of the family Mustelidae that resembles a skunk. The name "zorilla" comes from the word "zorro", which in Spanish means "fox". It lives predominantly in dry and arid climates, such as the savannahs and open country of Central, Southern, and sub-Saharan Africa, excluding the Congo basin and the more coastal areas of West Africa.
The typical striped grass mouse is a small rodent of the suborder Myomorpha in the family Muridae.
Caribicus anelpistus, the Altagracia giant galliwasp, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. It is found in the Dominican Republic. It was formerly classified in the genus Celestus.
Celestus duquesneyi, commonly known as Duquesney's galliwasp or the blue-tailed galliwasp, is a species of lizard in the family Diploglossidae.
Celestus fowleri, the bromeliad galliwasp or Fowler's galliwasp, is a species of lizard in the family Diploglossidae.
Celestus microblepharis, the small-eyed galliwasp or tiny eyelid galliwasp, is a species of lizard in the Diploglossidae family. It is found only in Jamaica.
The Jamaican giant galliwasp or sinking galliwasp is a species of lizard in the Diploglossidae. It was endemic to Jamaica. It was last recorded in mid-19th century, with locals reporting unconfirmed sightings. Its population has been ravaged and exterminated by introduced predators like mongooses. Recent surveys, while extensive, have not yet been exhaustive, given the difficulties of access into and around the Black River Morass, leaving room for some hope that the species may persist, albeit with a tiny population.
Diploglossidae is a family of anguimorph lizards native to the Americas. Most members of this family are known as galliwasps. They were formerly considered a subfamily of Anguidae, but genetic evidence has shown them to be less closely related to other members of Anguidae than Anniellidae is.
Figaro is a genus of catshark, and part of the family Scyliorhinidae. Until 2008, Figaro was generally considered to be a subgenus of Galeus. The two known species are found off Australia, inhabiting deep, offshore waters on or near the bottom. Figaro contains small, slender, firm-bodied sharks that bear distinctive crests of enlarged, spiny dermal denticles along the dorsal and ventral edges of their short caudal fins. The caudal peduncle is relatively long, such as that the anal and caudal fins are some distance apart. In adult males, the inner margins of the pelvic fins are fused together to form a subtle "apron" over the claspers. F. boardmani is a predator of fishes, crustaceans, and cephalopods, and is oviparous; less is known about the F. striatus. Both are harmless and are of no economic importance.
Siderolamprus adercus is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. It is found in Panama.
Celestus barbouri, the limestone forest galliwasp, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. It is found in Jamaica.
Panolopus curtissi, also known commonly as Curtiss' galliwasp, Curtis's galliwasp, and the Hispaniolan khaki galliwasp, is a species of lizard in the family Diploglossidae. The species is native to the island of Hispaniola, including some associated islets. There are four recognized subspecies.
Caribicus darlingtoni, also known commonly as Darlington's galliwasp and the Hispaniolan striped galliwasp, is a species of lizard in the family Diploglossidae. The species is endemic to the Dominican Republic.
Celestus hewardi, Heward's galliwasp, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. It is found in Jamaica.
