Cephenemyia pratti is a species of nose bot flies in the family Oestridae. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The acouchis are rodents belonging to the family Dasyproctidae from the Amazon basin. They are generally smaller than agoutis and have very short tails, while agoutis lack tails. For this reason the acouchis are also called tailed agoutis.
The name deer botfly refers to any species in the genus Cephenemyia, within the family Oestridae. They are large, gray-brown flies, often very accurate mimics of bumblebees. They attack chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of members of the deer family. The larva of Cephenemyia auribarbis, infesting the stag, is called a stagworm. The genus name comes from the Greek kēphēn, drone bee, and myia, fly.
Fire-coloured beetles or otherwise known as eyelash bugs are the beetles of the Pyrochroidae family, which includes the red cardinal beetles. Adults measure 4-20 mm; larvae reach 25 mm. Larvae of Pyrochroinae are found under moist bark of dead trees:they are probably mostly fungivorous, although they may become cannibalistic if too crowded.
The green acouchi is a species of rodent in the acouchi genus, part of the family Dasyproctidae, from South America. Its distribution is in western Amazonia, west of the Rios Negro and Madeira, in northwestern Brazil, northeastern Peru, eastern Ecuador, southeastern Colombia, and southern Venezuela. There is substantial variation within this range, and the Green Acouchi, as currently recognized, may contain more than one species. Because the application of the scientific name acouchy, currently in use for the Red Acouchi, has historically been disputed, the name Myoprocta acouchy has sometimes been used for this species instead of Myoprocta pratti. The species is named for Antwerp Edgar Pratt who was a British naturalist.
The Heteroceridae, or variegated mud-loving beetles, are a widespread and relatively common family of beetles. They occur on every continent except for Antarctica.
The Ochteridae comprise a small family of insects. Eight genera with about 80 species have been described. They occur worldwide along the shore of various types of water and the greatest diversity is in tropical regions. They are "true bugs", being members of the order Hemiptera, and are in the suborder Heteroptera. Ochteridae commonly are known as the velvety shore bugs. They resemble the Saldidae shore bugs and have lengths ranging from 4.5 to 9 mm (0.18–0.35 in).
Colostethus pratti is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found in the northwestern Colombia and Panama, possibly also in southeastern Costa Rica. It is sometimes known as the Pratt's rocket frog. Colostethus pratti is named after Antwerp Edgar Pratt, an explorer who collected the type series.
Ranoidea pratti, commonly known as Pratt's tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to the Vogelkopf Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia, where the type series was collected. There are no confirmed records of this species after it was first recorded, so very little information exists on it.
Pratt's roundleaf bat is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is found in China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Cephenemyiini is a tribe within the family Oestridae which includes large flies, parasitic on deer and related ungulates.
Clanis pratti is a species of moth of the family Sphingidae first described by James John Joicey and George Talbot in 1921. It is known from Sulawesi and surrounding islands in Indonesia.
Cephenemyia ulrichii or the moose botfly, also called the elk botfly, moose nose botfly or moose throat botfly, is a large botfly that resembles a bumblebee. In the wild, they attack chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of moose, but have been found in other deer species. There have also been several cases of C. ulrichii squirting their larvae into the eyes of human beings, a somewhat painful event that requires medical attention to forestall any possibility of serious damage.
Delias pratti is a species of butterfly in the family Pieridae. The type was described by George Hamilton Kenrick in 1909. It is found in Papua New Guinea, the type location is the Foja Mountains.
Sphenomorphus pratti is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Papua New Guinea.
Cephenemyia trompe, also known as the reindeer nose botfly, is a species of botfly first described by Adolph Modéer in 1786. It belongs to the deer botflygenus Cephenemyia. This fly is parasitic on reindeer. It is one of two Cephenemyia species found only in Scandinavia.
Pediodectes is a genus of shield-backed katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. There are about 10 described species in Pediodectes.
Cephenemyia apicata is a species of nose bot flies in the family Oestridae.
Cephenemyia jellisoni is a species of nose bot fly in the family Oestridae.
Cephenemyia phobifer is a species of nose bot fly in the family Oestridae.
The Caura National Park is a protected area with the status of National Park in Venezuela. With an area of 7,534,000 ha. (75,340 km²) is the largest park in the country and the most recently created (2017).
