Cordyla richardii is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.
It is native to Sudan, South Sudan, and Uganda.
Panga or panga seabream is the common South African name for Pterogymnus laniarius, a small, ocean-dwelling fish, native to the southeast Atlantic Ocean and southwest Indian Ocean. Alternatively called "torpedo scads", they are cold-blooded with white flesh. Their scales are generally pink in color with whitish underbelly and blue-green stripes running laterally along their sides.
The African palm swift is a small swift. It is very similar to the Asian palm swift, Cypsiurus balasiensis, and was formerly considered to be the same species. The Malagasy palm swift was also recently split from this species. This is a common species with a very wide distribution which faces no obvious threats and may be increasing in numbers as a result of the cultivation of the exotic Washington palm, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern".
The Nile lechwe or Mrs Gray's lechwe is an endangered species of antelope found in swamps and grasslands in South Sudan and Ethiopia.
The Sudan gerbil is distributed mainly in central Sudan.
Soemmerring's gazelle, also known as the Abyssinian mohr, is a gazelle species native to the Horn of Africa. The species was described and given its binomen by German physician Philipp Jakob Cretzschmar in 1828. Three subspecies are recognized. It is possibly no longer present in Sudan.
The pied butterfly bat, also known as the pied bat or badger bat, is a rare species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae.
The desert pipistrelle is a species of vesper bat in the genus Hypsugo. It is found in Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. Some of the Arabian populations were previously regarded as a separate species, Hypsugo bodenheimeri, but the proposed differences between the two do not hold. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, rocky areas, and hot deserts.
Cordyla is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It contains the following species:
Cordyla somalensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Somalia.
The Red Sea cliff swallow, also known as the Red Sea swallow, is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae.
The cinnamon weaver is a species of bird in the family Ploceidae. It is found only in Sudan and South Sudan. The cinnamon weaver is nomadic, returning to breeding areas during the September–October breeding season. Possibly monogamous, weavers live communally, preferring tall trees with dense foliage.
The montane white-toothed shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The turbo shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
Pimenta richardii is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to Jamaica.
Pouteria altissima is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae, and a source of anigre hardwood. It is found in Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Xylopia richardii is a species of plant in the Annonaceae family. It is found in Mauritius and Réunion. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The torpedo scad, also known as the hardtail scad, finny scad, finletted mackerel scad or cordyla scad, is a species of moderately large marine fish classified in the jack and horse mackerel family, Carangidae. The torpedo scad is distributed throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region, ranging from South Africa in the west to Tonga in the east, extending to Japan in the north and Australia in south. It is a schooling pelagic fish which occupies the surface layers of both inshore and offshore oceanic waters. The torpedo scad is easily identified by both its 'torpedo' shaped body and a series of detached finlets at the rear of both the dorsal and anal fins. The largest recorded individual was 80 cm long and weighed 4 kg, although it is more common at lengths less than 40 cm. It is a predatory species, taking a variety of fish, cephalopods and crustaceans by both active and filter feeding. There is a shift in diet as the species grow; however fish is the dominant prey in all size classes. Torpedo scad reach sexual maturity at 22 cm in females and 26.4 cm in males, with spawning occurring between March and July in India, where significant research into larval growth and morphometrics has been carried out.
Anolis richardii, commonly known as the Grenada tree anole or Richard's anole, is a species of anole lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is found in the Caribbean.
Richard's worm snake is a species of snake in the family Typhlopidae.
