Dischistodus is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae. It has seven described species.
The black-eared flying fox, species Pteropus melanotus, is a bat of the family Pteropodidae (megabats). Also known as Blyth's flying fox, it is found on the Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands (India), and in Sumatra (Indonesia). A population on Christmas Island, which is critically endangered, has been placed as a subspecies of this population. The conservation and taxonomic status of that population was later re-established as a distinct species, the Christmas Island fruit-bat Pteropus natalis.
Amphiprion nigripes, is a marine fish belonging to the family Pomacentridae, which includes clownfishes and damselfishes.
Chrysiptera taupou, known commonly as the southseas devil, southseas demoiselle, and Fiji damsel, is a species of damselfish. It is native to the western Pacific Ocean from the Coral Sea to Samoa.
Chrysiptera talboti, known commonly as Talbot's damselfish and Talbot's demoiselle, is a species of damselfish. It is a marine fish from the eastern Indian Ocean and western Pacific.
Chrysiptera galba, commonly known as the canary demoiselle, is a species of damselfish. It is native to the western Pacific Ocean. It reaches 7 centimetres (2.8 in) in length. The male guards and tends the eggs.
Chrysiptera springeri, commonly known as Springer's demoiselle, is a species of damselfish in the family Pomacentridae.
Chrysiptera caeruleolineata, commonly called the blueline demoiselle, is a species of damselfish from the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. It is up to 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long.
The blue rainbowfish is a species of rainbowfish in the subfamily Melanotaeniinae which is endemic to Papua New Guinea. It is found mostly in the lower and middle Kikori drainage system.
Hemiscyllium galei, the Cenderawasih epaulette shark, is a species of bamboo shark in the family Hemiscylliidae. Together with H. henryi, it was only scientifically described in 2008 by Gerald R. Allen and Mark V. Erdmann. At present, H. galei is only known from depths of 2 to 4 metres at reefs in the Cenderawasih Bay in West Papua, Indonesia. The largest known specimen was 56.8 centimetres (22.4 in) long. It can be separated from its relatives by the combination of seven relatively large dark spots along the side of the body, white markings on the edge of its dark dorsal saddles and other scattered white spots on the upper side.
The Triton epaulette shark is a species of bamboo shark in the genus Hemiscyllium, that is composed of nine morphologically similar, yet distinct, sharks that are geographically restricted to New Guinea and northern Australia. Hemiscylliidae are small nocturnal sharks aptly named "walking sharks" who exhibit a "crawling" movement while foraging on the ocean floor for fish and benthic invertebrates.
Shaw's dark ground snake, also known commonly as Shaw's black-backed snake, and in Spanish as candelilla, guarda caminos, and reinita cazadora, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is native to northern South America.
Dischistodus perspicillatus, commonly known as the white damsel, is a species of fish native to the Andaman Sea and eastern Indian Ocean.
Chrysiptera brownriggii, commonly known as the surge damselfish, is a species of marine fish. It is widespread in Indo-Pacific waters from East Africa to the Marquesas Islands and Society Islands, north to Japan and south to Australia. Its common name arises because it is associated with the rubble in channels created by tidal surges in reefs, but it is also found on reef flats and submerged terraces. It is territorial but is frequently encountered in groups. The identity of the person honoured by the specific name was not stated by Bennett in his original description but it is almost certainly Robert Brownrigg (1759-1833) who was governor of Ceylon where the type was collected.
Amphiprion chrysogaster, the Mauritian anemonefish, is a marine fish belonging to the family Pomacentridae, the clownfishes and damselfishes. It is endemic to Mauritius and probably Réunion.
Pseudocordylus melanotus, also known as the common crag lizard or Highveld crag lizard, is a species of lizard found in Eswatini, Lesotho, and South Africa. Pseudocordylus subviridis is considered a distinct species by the Reptile Database, but a subspecies of Pseudocordylus melanotus by IUCN.
The headlight fish is a species of lanternfish in the family Myctophidae. It is also sometimes referred to as the headlight lanternfish, or even the lanternfish, though it is not the only species to be called this.
Cirrhilabrus condei are fairy wrasse which is also known as Conde's wrasse. They originate from the shallow rubble flats of Melanesia. The Conde's fairy wrasse is very peaceful; they are red alone black with a white belly. Female Conde's wrasse are red with a pale stripe along the lower rear, a black dorsal fin, a pale stripe with a white lower body, and a red anal fin. Males are similar with more intense coloration. The life cycle and mating behavior of Cirrhilabrus condei distinct pairing during breeding. Unlike other wrasses, they raise the front 2/3 of their dorsal fins and sometimes colors may vary depending on the fish's mood, breeding timeframe, and age of the specimen.
Dischistodus pseudochrysopoecilus, commonly known as the monarch damsel, is a species of fish found in the western-central Pacific Ocean.
Plectranthias alleni, also known as Allen's perchlet, is a species of fish in the family Serranidae occurring in the eastern Indian Ocean.
