Nectomys is a genus of rodent in the tribe Oryzomyini of family Cricetidae. It is closely related to Amphinectomys and was formerly considered congeneric with Sigmodontomys. It consists of five species, which are allopatrically distributed across much of South America: Nectomys magdalenae in montane Colombia; Nectomys palmipes on Trinidad and in nearby Venezuela, Nectomys apicalis in the western margins of the Amazon biome, Nectomys rattus in much of Amazonia, and Nectomys squamipes in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil.
Nectomys rattus, the small-footed bristly mouse, Amazonian nectomys or Amazonian mouse, is a species of rodent in the genus Nectomys of family Cricetidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela, where it lives in a variety of habitats including lowland tropical rainforest, cerrado and caatinga. It was recognized as distinct only in 2000 and its limits with other Nectomys, including Nectomys apicalis and Nectomys squamipes, remain unclear.
The inland thornbill, called the broad-tailed thornbill, is a small, insect-eating bird of Australia. The inland thornbill is commonly confused with the coastal brown thornbill due to its similar colorations. The inland thornbill encompasses four subspecies:
Chionosia is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae.
Nectomys apicalis, also known as the western Amazonian nectomys, is a semiaquatic species of rodent in the genus Nectomys of family Cricetidae. It is found east of the Andes in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, east into western Brazil; further to the east, it is replaced by N. rattus. It lives near watercourses in lowland tropical rainforest. Its karyotype has 2n = 38-42, and it probably actually represents several distinct undescribed species.
Latrodectus apicalis, known as the Galapagos black widow, is endemic to the Galápagos Islands. Like many black widow spiders, it has a red or orange hourglass-shaped spot on the underside of the abdomen. It is venomous and sometimes hard to find.
Copelatus apicalis is a species of diving beetle. It is part of the genus Copelatus of the subfamily Copelatinae and the family Dytiscidae. It was described by Fairmaire in 1898. Copelatus apicalis is distributed along the coastline of much of Africa.
Vestalis apicalis, or the black-tipped forest glory, is a species of damselfly belonging to the family Calopterygidae. It is found in India and Sri Lanka.
The bluntnose snake-eel is an eel in the family Ophichthidae. The author of the species is anonymous, but it has been referred to Edward Turner Bennett in 1830. It is a tropical, marine eel which is known from the Indo-Pacific, including Kenya, Madagascar, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and the Philippines. It dwells at a maximum depth of 22 m, but also frequents shores. Males can reach a maximum total length of 45 cm.
Chionosia zonata is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It is found in Surinam located in South America.
Erygia apicalis is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It is found from the Indo-Australian tropics of India, Sri Lanka to Japan, Australia and the Solomon Islands. The habitat consists of lowland areas, including dry heath forests and softwood plantations.
Vestalis submontana is a species of damselfly belonging to the family Calopterygidae. It is endemic to the Western Ghats of India.
Distigmoptera apicalis is a species of flea beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.
Clostera apicalis, known generally as the apical prominent or red-marked tentmaker, is a species of prominent moth in the family Notodontidae. It is found in North America.
Monoxia apicalis is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Calligrapha apicalis is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.
