Epikastea is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about six described species in Epikastea, found in Peru, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. [1] [2]
These six species belong to the genus Epikastea:
Cortaderia is a genus of plants in the Poaceae or grass family of plants.
Gongora, abbreviated Gga in horticultural trade, is a member of the orchid family (Orchidaceae). It consists of 65 species known from Central America, Trinidad, and tropical South America, with most species found in Colombia. They grow across a wide geographical range, from wet forests at sea level, to mountainous regions in the Andes, as high as 1,800 m.
Chusquea is a genus of evergreen bamboos in the grass family. Most of them are native to mountain habitats in Latin America, from Mexico to southern Chile and Argentina.
Pouteria is a genus of flowering trees in the gutta-percha family, Sapotaceae. The genus is widespread throughout the tropical Americas, with outlier species in Cameroon and Malesia. It includes the canistel, the mamey sapote, and the lucuma. Commonly, this genus is known as pouteria trees, or in some cases, eggfruits.
Weinmannia is a genus of trees and shrubs in the family Cunoniaceae. It contains 90 species, which range from Mexico through Central and South America including the Caribbean, and to the Mascarene Islands in the western Indian Ocean. It is absent from mainland Africa and Australia, but some fossils have been attributed to Weinmannia in Australia.
Dracontium is a genus of flowering plants similar to those of Amorphophallus. Unlike Amorphophallus which is found in the Old World, this genus has a New World distribution and is native to South America, Central America, southern Mexico, and the West Indies.
Desmoncus is a genus of mostly climbing, spiny palms native to the Neotropics. The genus extends from Mexico in the north to Brazil and Bolivia in the south, with two species present in the southeastern Caribbean.
Oenocarpus is a genus of pinnate-leaved palms (Arecaceae) native to Trinidad, southern Central and tropical South America. With nine species and one natural hybrid, the genus is distributed from Costa Rica and Trinidad in the north to Brazil and Bolivia in the south.
Dicranopygium is a genus of plants belonging to the family Cyclanthaceae, first described as a genus in 1954. They are distributed in the Neotropical realm from southern Mexico to Peru.
Citharexylum is a genus of flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. It contains shrub and tree species commonly known as fiddlewoods or zitherwoods. They are native to the Americas, ranging from southern Florida and Texas in the United States to Argentina. The highest diversity occurs in Mexico and the Andes. The generic name is derived from the Greek words κιθάρα (kithara), meaning "lyre", and ξύλον (xylon), meaning "wood," referring to the use of the wood in the sounding boards of string instruments. Several species, especially C. caudatum and C. spinosum, are cultivated as ornamentals.
Ctenodactyla is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Ctenodactyla, found in South America.
Pseudaptinus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 50 described species in Pseudaptinus.
Anchonoderus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 20 described species in Anchonoderus.
Guatemalteca is a genus of beetle in the family Carabidae. As of 2017, its only described species is its type species, Guatemalteca virgen. When Terry Erwin named the genus in 2004, he placed it in the tribe Lachnophorini; in 2014 he and Laura S. Zamorano placed it in the subtribe Eucaerina.
Lachnophorus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 20 described species in Lachnophorus.
Erwiniana is a genus in the ground beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 50 described species in Erwiniana, found in Central and South America.
Oreodera is a genus of long-horned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. Oreodera is in the subfamily Lamiinae, the flat-faced longhorns. There are more than 100 described species in Oreodera, found in Central and South America.
Lacmellea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1857. It is native to South America and Central America.
Khamul is a genus of chalcid wasps known containing four species in Central and South America. The body and head is black, while the legs and antennae are brown individuals measure 3.3–5.3 mm (0.13–0.21 in) in body length.
Thoasia is a genus of beetle in the family Carabidae. It was once classified as a monotypic genus with the species Thoasia rugifrons, however recently three new species were found.
