Conocrinus is a genus of sea lilies in the family Bourguticrinidae, containing 6 species. [1]
Anurognathus is a genus of small pterosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period. Anurognathus was first named and described by Ludwig Döderlein in 1923. The type species is Anurognathus ammoni. The genus name Anurognathus is derived from the Greek αν/ an- ("without"), оυρα/ oura ("tail"), and γναθος/ gnathos ("jaw") in reference to its unusually small tail relative to other "rhamphorhynchoid" pterosaurs. The specific name ammoni honours the Bavarian geologist Ludwig von Ammon, from whose collection Döderlein had acquired the fossil in 1922.
Astropecten is a genus of sea stars of the family Astropectinidae.
Coelopleurus is an extant genus of echinoids with fossil records dating back to the Eocene, with remains found in Europe and North America.
Trachylepis tschudii is an enigmatic skink, purportedly from Peru. First described in 1845 on the basis of a single specimen, it may be the same as the Noronha skink (T. atlantica) from Fernando de Noronha, off northeastern Brazil. T. tschudii represents one of two doubtful records of the otherwise African genus Trachylepis on mainland South America; the other is T. maculata from Guyana.
Spatangus is a genus of heart urchins in the Spatangidae family. The genus is synonymous with the previously recognised genera Prospatangus Lambert, 1902 and Spatagus. There are nine recognised species. The type species is Spatangus purpureus Müller, 1776 by subsequent designation.
The Oreasteridae are a family of sea stars in the class Asteroidea.
Luidia is a genus of starfish in the family Luidiidae in which it is the only genus. Species of the family have a cosmopolitan distribution.
Albert Sigmund Gustav Döderlein was a German obstetrician and gynecologist. He was the father of gynecologist Gustav Döderlein.
Lesticus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Clypeaster, common name "cake urchins" or "sea biscuits", is a genus of echinoderms belonging to the family Clypeasteridae.
Metacrinus is a genus of stalked crinoids in the family Isselicrinidae. Members of this genus live on hard surfaces in deeper parts of the ocean. The genus has extant species and is also represented in the fossil record. Members of the genus grow to a maximum height of 60 centimetres (24 in) and are found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Japan to Australia.
Jean Roux was a Swiss herpetologist.
The Freyellidae are a family of deep-sea-dwelling starfish. It is one of two families in the order Brisingida. The majority of species in this family are found in Antarctic waters and near Australia. Other species have been found near New Zealand and the United States.
Ludwig Heinrich Philipp Döderlein was a German zoologist. He specialized in echinoderms, particularly sea stars, sea urchins, and crinoids. He was one of the first European zoologists to have the opportunity to do research work in Japan from 1879 to 1881. Today, he is considered one of the most important pioneers of marine biological research in Japan.
Freyella is a genus of deep-sea-dwelling starfish in the order Brisingida.
Discodermia is a genus of deep-water sea sponge.
Caenopedina is a genus of sea urchins of the family Pedinidae.
Endoxocrinus is a genus of echinoderms belonging to the family Pentacrinitidae.
Astrocladus is a genus of echinoderms belonging to the family Gorgonocephalidae.
Stereocidaris is a genus of echinoderms belonging to the family Cidaridae.
