Dendyidae is a family of calcareous sponges, which six genera. [1]
Dendyidae contains the following genera:
Marine angelfish are perciform fish of the family Pomacanthidae. They are found on shallow reefs in the tropical Atlantic, Indian, and mostly western Pacific Oceans. The family contains seven genera and about 86 species. They should not be confused with the freshwater angelfish, tropical cichlids of the Amazon Basin.
Dendya is a genus of calcareous sponges in the family Dendyidae.
Leucettidae is a family of sea sponges in the subclass Calcinea, first described by Max Walker de Laubenfels in 1936.
Chromodorididae, or chromodorids, are a taxonomic family of colourful sea slugs; dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Doridoidea. “Chromodorid nudibranchs are among the most gorgeously coloured of all animals.” The over 360 described species are primarily found in tropical and subtropical waters, as members of coral reef communities, specifically associated with their sponge prey. The chromodorids are the most speciose family of opisthobranchs. They range in size from <10mm to over 30 cm, although most species are approximately 15–30 mm in size.
Chondrilla is the scientific name shared by two genera of life-forms:
Acanthochelys is a genus of turtles, the spiny swamp turtles, in the family Chelidae, subfamily Chelinae, found in South America. Until recently, the species of this genus were considered to be members of the genus Platemys, but were moved to the resurrected genus originally described by Gray (1873) based on the type species by monotypy Acanthochelys spixii.
The Morchellaceae are a family of ascomycete fungi in the order Pezizales. According to a standard reference work, the family has contained at least 49 species distributed among four genera. However, in 2012, five genera that produce ascoma that are sequestrate and hypogeous were added. The best-known members are the highly regarded and commercially picked true morels of the genus Morchella, the thimble morels of the genus Verpa, and a genus of cup-shaped fungi Disciotis. The remaining four genera produce the sequestrate fruit bodies.
Phyllidiidae is a family of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Phyllidioidea.
Dendya clathrata is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Dendyidae.
Spongicolidae is a family of glass sponge shrimp in the order Decapoda. There are about 8 genera and more than 40 described species in Spongicolidae. Apart from the shallows-dwelling genus Microprosthema, the family consists of glass sponge infauna, living within the body cavity of the sponge, presumably for life with a few other sponge shrimp. The sponge infaunal species most often inhabit Euplectella sponges, but can be found in Hyalonema sieboldii, Dactylocalyx pumiceus, Regradella phoenix, and R. okinosena.
Opecoelidae is a family of trematodes. It is the largest digenean family with over 90 genera and nearly 900 species, almost solely found in marine and freshwater teleost fishes. It was considered by Bray et al. to belong in the superfamily Opecoeloidea Ozaki, 1925 or the Brachycladioidea Odhner, 1905.
Neoernsta is a genus of calcareous sponges in the family Dendyidae. The genus was erected in 2013 to contain five species previously assigned to Clathrina. The genus name honors German naturalist Ernst Haeckel for his contributions towards sponge taxonomy and phylogeny.
Raphidonema is the scientific name of two genera and may refer to:
Ascandra is a genus of calcareous sponges of the family Dendyidae and are found in oceans around the world.
Soleneiscus is a genus of calcareous sponges in the family Dendyidae.
Soleneiscus hispidus is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Dendyidae.
Leuclathrina is a genus of sponges belonging to the family Dendyidae. Species are found in the northeast Atlantic and in the Indian Ocean.
Dictyonella may refer to:
Leuclathrina translucida is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Dendyidae from the Maldives.
Robspongia is a genus of sponges belonging to the family Dendyidae, and the only species is Robspongia vociva.
