Eurypauropodidae is a family of pauropods. [1] [2] The family was first described by the American zoologist John A. Ryder during October 1873. Eurypauropodids are generally less than 1 millimeter long, and their outer plates are usually completely sclerotised. [3] [4]
The class Mesotardigrada has only one species, Thermozodium esakii. The animal has six claws of equal length at each foot. This species was recorded in 1937 by Rahm from a hot spring near Nagasaki in Japan. The type location has been destroyed by an earthquake and subsequent searches for specimens have been unsuccessful. The type specimen has also been lost, so the status of this class is considered dubious. However, Grothman et al. (2017) suggests that a type specimen was never collected, in line with lax taxonomic standards of the 1930s. Grothman et al. (2017) also suggests that they might have been misinterpreted heterotardigrades, possibly belonging to either Carphania or Oreella.
Pauropods are small, pale, millipede-like arthropods. Around 830 species in twelve families are found worldwide, living in soil and leaf mould. They look rather like centipedes, but are probably the sister group to millipedes.
The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) is an American partnership of federal agencies designed to provide consistent and reliable information on the taxonomy of biological species. ITIS was originally formed in 1996 as an interagency group within the US federal government, involving several US federal agencies, and has now become an international body, with Canadian and Mexican government agencies participating. The database draws from a large community of taxonomic experts. Primary content staff are housed at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and IT services are provided by a US Geological Survey facility in Denver. The primary focus of ITIS is North American species, but many biological groups exist worldwide and ITIS collaborates with other agencies to increase its global coverage.
The Catalogue of Life is an online database that provides the most comprehensive and authoritative index of known species of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. It was created in 2001 as a partnership between the global Species 2000 and the American Integrated Taxonomic Information System. The Catalogue interface is available in twelve languages and is used by research scientists, citizen scientists, educators, and policy makers. The Catalogue is also used by the Biodiversity Heritage Library, the Barcode of Life Data System, Encyclopedia of Life, and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. The Catalogue currently compiles data from 168 peer-reviewed taxonomic databases, that are maintained by specialist institutions around the world. As of 2019, the Catalogue lists 1,837,565 of the world's 2.2m extant species known to taxonomists on the planet at present time.
Kirkia is a genus of plant in family Kirkiaceae. It was previously placed in family Simaroubaceae, but was transferred into Kirkiaceae, together with Pleiokirkia, because these genera produce neither quassinoids nor limonoids.
Acartophthalmus is a genus of flies, and the only genus with confident placement in the family Acartophthalmidae. They are 1.0–2.5 millimetres (0.04–0.10 in) long, and grey or black in colour, with pubescent arista. Only five species are included.
The Ecuadorian trogon is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae. It is found in deciduous and semi-humid forest and woodland in western Ecuador and far north-western Peru. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the black-tailed trogon, which it resembles, except for its white eyes. It does not currently have any subspecies listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Anthomyiopsis is a genus of fly in the family Tachinidae.
Episoriculus is a genus of shrew in the red-toothed shrew subfamily. Its common is brown-toothed shrew. It has been described as a subgenus to Soriculus in the past. The genus occurs at a number of locations in Asia, including Nepal and China.
Hyocephalidae are a small family of Heteroptera which are endemic to Australia.
Species 2000 is a federation of database organizations across the world that compiles the Catalogue of Life, a comprehensive checklist of the world's species, in partnership with the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). The creation of Species 2000 was initiated by Frank Bisby and colleagues at the University of Reading in the UK in 1997 and the Catalogue of Life was first published in 2001. While administrators and member organizations of Species 2000 are located across the world, the secretariat is located at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, Netherlands.
Sterculia urens is a species of plant in the family Malvaceae. It is native to India and has been introduced into Burma. A small to medium-sized tree with a pale-coloured trunk, it is commonly known as the भुत्या in Marathi, kulu, Indian tragacanth, gum karaya, katira, sterculia gum or kateera gum. The specific name urens refers to the stinging hairs present on the flowers.
Megaphyllum unilineatum is a species of millipede in the family Julidae, first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1838. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Tetramerocerata is an order of pauropods containing 12 different families and about 480 different species. Tetrameroceratans have a 12 segmented body, 4 segmented antennae, 6 tergites, and 8-10 legs. They are generally 0.5 mm to 2 mm long. They are usually white or brown. Tetramerocerata has a subcosmopolitan distribution, occurring nearly worldwide.
Burmannia grandiflora is a flowering plant in the family Burmanniaceae found in Colombia, central Brazil, and Bolivia. It grows mostly on wet savannas, sandy soil, from sea level to a height of 1230 meters.
Cyphomenes schremmeri is a species of insect in the genus Cyphomenes and the family Eumenidae described by Antonio Giordani Soika in 1978. C. schremmeri is native to Venezuela and Colombia. As of 2017, no subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Potamanthus sangangensis is a species of hacklegilled burrower mayfly in the family Potamanthidae.
Galerina steglichii is a mushroom species described by Besl in 1993 and named after Wolfgang Steglich.
Anthomyiopsis nigra is a species of fly first described by Baranov in 1938. It is part of the genus Anthomyiopsis and the family Tachinidae. It is distributed in Uttar Pradesh, India. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Costantinella is a genus of anamorphic fungi in the family Morchellaceae and class Pezizomycetes
