Conulus is an extinct genus of echinoids (sea urchins) that lived in the Cretaceous. Remains of Conulus species have been found in Asia, Europe, and North America.
The following species are recognised in the genus Conulus: [1]
Devario is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae native to the rivers and streams of South and Southeast Asia. These fishes have short barbels and many species having vertical or horizontal stripes. These species consume various small, aquatic insects, crustaceans and worms, as well as, in the case of fry, plankton.
Cicindela, commonly known as common tiger beetles, are generally brightly colored and metallic beetles, often with some sort of patterning of ivory or cream-colored markings. They are most abundant and diverse in habitats very often near bodies of water with sandy or occasionally clay soils; they can be found along rivers, sea and lake shores, sand dunes, around dry lakebeds, on clay banks, or woodland paths.
Labeo is a genus of carps in the family Cyprinidae. They are found in freshwater habitats in the tropics and subtropics of Africa and Asia.
Nucula is a genus of very small saltwater clams. They are part of the family Nuculidae.
Dalpiazia is an extinct genus of sclerorhynchid sawfish whose fossils are found in rocks dating from the Maastrichtian stage in mines in Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Syria. The type species D. stromeri was named by Checchia-Rispoli (1933) in honor of Ernst Stromer, and the holotype, a rostral tooth, was found in Tripolitania, Libya.
Salinator is a genus of small, air-breathing, terrestrial or semi-marine snails with an operculum, pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Salinatorinae of the family Amphibolidae.
Xylota is a Holarctic genus of hoverflies similar in structure to the related genera Chalcosyrphus and Brachypalpoides. As the larvae are saprophytic they're usually found in rotting wood. The adult flies are generally associated with woodland and woodland edges and can often be seen running over the upper sides of leaves. Unlike other syrphids the adults of many species rarely visit flowers preferring instead to gather pollen from leaf surfaces. There are over 100 described species of which 12 can be found in Europe. Seven species have been recorded in Britain. Identification of species has been difficult and identification by photographs is risky.
Labeobarbus is a mid-sized ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are widely distributed throughout eastern Africa and especially southern Africa, but also in Lake Tana in Ethiopia. A common name, in particular for the southern species, is yellowfish. The scientific name refers to the fact that these large barbs recall the fairly closely related "carps" in the genus Labeo in size and shape. As far as can be told, all Labeobarbus species are hexaploid. One species, L. microbarbis from Rwanda, is known to have gone extinct in recent times.
Calliostoma conulus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Calliostomatidae. This is the type species of the genus.
Cidaridae is a family of sea urchins in the order Cidaroida.
Anomalisipho is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.
Hemipneustes is an extinct genus of sea urchins belonging to the family Holasteridae.
Schizaster is a genus of heart urchins belonging to the family Schizasteridae. The type species of the genus is Schizaster studeri.
Enteromius is a genus of small to medium-sized cyprinid fish native to tropical Africa. Most species were placed in the genus Barbus.
Echinocyamus is a genus of echinoderms belonging to the family Fibulariidae.
Styliola is a genus of gastropods belonging to the family Creseidae.
Echinolampas is a genus of echinoderms belonging to the family Echinolampadidae.
Cavolinia is a genus of gastropods belonging to the family Cavoliniidae.
Cuvierina is a genus of gastropods belonging to the family Cuvierinidae.
Echinodiscus is a genus of sand dollars within the family Astriclypeidae. There are currently 14 species assigned to the genus, with a majority being extinct.
