Fauna Set of animal species in any particular region and time

Fauna is all of the animal life present in a particular region or time. The corresponding term for plants is flora, and for fungi, it is funga. Flora, fauna, funga and other forms of life are collectively referred to as biota. Zoologists and paleontologists use fauna to refer to a typical collection of animals found in a specific time or place, e.g. the "Sonoran Desert fauna" or the "Burgess Shale fauna". Paleontologists sometimes refer to a sequence of faunal stages, which is a series of rocks all containing similar fossils. The study of animals of a particular region is called faunistics.

Bythocrotus is a genus of Caribbean jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1903. As of June 2019 it contains only two species, found only on Hispaniola: Bythocrotus cephalotes and Bythocrotus crypticus.

Darwinneon is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Darwinneon crypticus. It was first described by B. Cutler in 1971, and is only found on the Galápagos Islands. The name is a combination of the Neon and Charles Darwin. Crypticus means "hidden" in Latin.

Eopteranodon is a genus of tapejarid pterosaur from the Aptian-age Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Beipiao City, Liaoning, China. The genus was named in 2005 by paleontologists Lü Junchang and Zhang Xingliao. The type and only species is Eopteranodon lii.

<i>Sinopterus</i> Genus of tapejarid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous

Sinopterus was a genus of tapejarid pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Aptian-age Lower Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation of Chaoyang, Liaoning, China. It was first described and named by Wang Xiaolin and Zhou Zhonghe. Three species have been classified in this genus, though only two are generally considered to be valid. Sinopterus is known for its proportionally large skull, which has a birdlike pointed beak, a long bony crest that starts with a tall premaxilla and goes back along the middle of the skull to form a point overhanging the rear of the skull, and its lack of teeth.

Madtom Genus of fishes

Madtoms are freshwater catfishes of the genus Noturus of the family Ictaluridae. It is the most species-rich family of catfish in North America, native to the central and eastern United States, and adjacent parts of Canada. Their fin spines contain a mild venom with a sting comparable to that of a honey bee.

Fauna Europaea is a database of the scientific names and distribution of all living multicellular European land and fresh-water animals. It serves as a standard taxonomic source for animal taxonomy within the Pan-European Species directories Infrastructure (PESI). As of June 2020, Fauna Europaea reported that their database contained 235,708 taxon names and 173,654 species names.

<i>Nemicolopterus</i> Genus of tapejaromorph pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous

Nemicolopterus is a genus of tapejaromorph pterosaur, based on a very small specimen described as the smallest known "adult" pterosaur to date. The generic name "Nemicolopterus" comes from the following Greek words: "Nemos" meaning "forest", "ikolos" meaning "dweller", and Latinised "pteron" meaning "wing". The specific name crypticus is from "kryptos", meaning "hidden". Thus "Nemicolopterus crypticus" means "Hidden flying forest dweller". It lived in the Jehol Biota 120 million years ago.

Escaleras bat European bat in the genus Myotis

Escalera's bat is a European bat in the genus Myotis, found in Spain, Portugal, and far southern France.

<i>Oregus</i> Genus of beetles

Oregus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae that is endemic to New Zealand. A 2003 taxonomic revision of the group using both morphological and DNA characters concluded that it contained four species, and identified new species from Marlborough and North Canterbury. The current species list is:

<i>Haplanister</i> Species of beetle

Haplanister crypticus is a species of beetle in the family Carabidae, the only species in the genus Haplanister.

Chucky madtom Species of fish

The chucky madtom is a critically endangered freshwater fish endemic to the U.S. state of Tennessee.

<i>Noturus fasciatus</i> Species of fish

Noturus fasciatus is a rare freshwater fish native to the U.S. state of Tennessee. It was first described as a species separate from Noturus crypticus in 2005. It is restricted to the Duck River system and is also found in two minor tributaries on the lower section of the Tennessee River. This species dwells in small to medium-sized streams where they can be found under gravel, rubble, and slab rock. They feed mostly on insects such as: stone, cattus and mayfly larvae.

<i>Duvaliomimus</i> Genus of beetles

Duvaliomimus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.

Wingstrandarctus is a genus of tardigrades, in the subfamily Florarctinae which is part of the family Halechiniscidae. The genus was named and described by Kristensen in 1984.

<i>Euodynerus crypticus</i> Species of wasp

Euodynerus crypticus is a species of stinging wasp in the family Vespidae.

<i>Lasius crypticus</i> Species of ant

Lasius crypticus is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.

Cryptic myotis Species of bat

The cryptic myotis is a European vespertilionid bat. It is a member of the Natterer's bat species complex, and is also the closest living relative of M. nattereri. It is mostly distributed across European countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, from Spain west to Austria, north to Switzerland, and south to most of the Italian Peninsula. Populations of similar bats in southern Italy and Sicily display significant genetic divergence from M. crypticus, and thus may represent a unique taxonomic entity that requires more study. It is found in a wide range of altitudes, from sea level to 1000 meters above. It feeds in forest and grassland habitats and roosts in tree hollows as well as man-made structures. In autumn, M. crypticus swarms with other Myotis in large numbers, and overwinters with them in underground sites such as crevices.

The Zenati myotis is a rare species of mouse-eared bat that is restricted to North Africa. It is very rare in Morocco, being restricted to just four localities ranging from the Rif to the Atlas Mountains. Aside from Morocco, it is only known from three populations in northern Algeria, although it is possible that populations may exist in Tunisia. There are two genetically distinct haplogroups in the Atlas Mountains that could be further considered distinct subpopulations. It is a member of the Natterer's bat species complex and closely resembles the cryptic myotis, though its closest relative is Escalera's bat . 300,
