Chorizocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Species within the genus Chorizocarpa include: [1]
Species names currently considered to be synonyms:
Pyura is a large genus of sessile ascidians that live in coastal waters at depths of up to 80 m (260 feet). Like all ascidians, Pyura are filter feeders. A few species, including Pyura chilensis are commercially fished.
Umbonium, sometimes known as the "button top shells", is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trochidae, the top snails.
Botryllus is a genus of colonial ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Styela is a genus of tunicates. Styela clava, an edible species, is known as an invasive species in some areas.
Clavelina is genus of sea squirts, containing the following species:
Emarginula is a genus of small keyhole limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fissurellidae.
Notoacmea is a southern genus of true limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Lottiinae of the family Lottiidae, the true limpets.
Acmaea is a genus of sea snails, specifically true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Acmaeidae, one of the families of true limpets.
Patelloida is a genus of sea snails or true limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Lottiinae of the family Lottiidae, one of the families of true limpets.
Halocynthia is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Pyuridae. Species such as H. roretzi are eaten in parts of Asia as a delicacy.
Stolidobranchia is an order of tunicates in the class Ascidiacea. The group includes both colonial and solitary animals. They are distinguished from other tunicates by the presence of folded pharyngeal baskets. This provides the etymology of their name: in ancient Greek, στολίς, ίδος means the "fold" of a cloth. Stolidobranchian sea squirts are also characterized by the complete absence of an abdomen. The abdominal organs of other tunicates are instead located to one side of the pharyngeal basket in this group.
Tugali is a genus of small sea snails or limpets, a marine gastropod mollusc in the subfamily Emarginulinae of the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.
Stomatella is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Trochidae, the top snails and their allies.
Polycarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Alloeocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Cnemidocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Distomus is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Gynandrocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Symplegma is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Boltenia is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Pyuridae.
