Gyrinomimus is a genus of flabby whalefishes.
There are currently five recognized species in this genus: [1]
The falcons and caracaras are around 65 species of diurnal birds of prey that make up the family Falconidae. The family likely originated in South America during the Paleocene and is divided into three subfamilies: Herpetotherinae, which includes the laughing falcon and forest falcons; Polyborinae, which includes the spot-winged falconet and the caracaras; and Falconinae, the falcons and kestrels (Falco) and falconets (Microhierax).
The genus Nestor is one of the two extant genera of the parrot family Strigopidae. Together with the kākāpō, and the extinct parrots in the genus Nelepsittacus, they form the parrot superfamily Strigopoidea. The Nestor's genus contains two extant parrot species from New Zealand and two extinct species from Norfolk Island, Australia and Chatham Island, New Zealand, respectively. All species are large stocky birds with short squarish tails. A defining characteristic of the genus is the tongue, which is tipped with a hair-like fringe. The superficial resemblance of this tongue to that of lorikeets has led some taxonomists to consider the two groups closely related, but DNA evidence shows they are not.
Acanthocercus is a genus of lizards in the family Agamidae. The genus is endemic to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
Gyrinomimus grahami is a flabby whalefish of the genus Gyrinomimus, found in all the southern oceans.
Lampanyctus is a genus of lanternfishes.
Diaphus is a genus of lanternfishes. It is the most species-rich lanternfish genus.
The genus Jaculus is a member of the Dipodinae subfamily of dipodoid rodents (jerboas). Jaculus species are distributed in desert and semi-arid regions across northern Africa, the Sahara, the Horn of Africa, Arabia, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
The sculptor squirrel or Bornean pygmy squirrel is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It was described by Michael Rogers Oldfield Thomas in 1898. It is monotypic within the genus Glyphotes. It is endemic to northern Borneo in Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia) and inhabits areas elevated at 285–1,800 metres (935–5,906 ft).
Brachyphylla is a genus of leaf-nosed bats in the family Phyllostomidae. Both species live on islands near or in the Caribbean. The genus contains the following species:
The pygmy whitefish is a freshwater whitefish of the genus Prosopium in the family Salmonidae. Found in the mountain streams and lakes in western North America, it also has isolated populations in Lake Superior and in Ekityki Lake, Chukchi Peninsula.
Paralepis is a genus of barracudinas.
Procapra is a genus of Asian gazelles, including three living species:
Dinagat hairy-tailed rat or russet batomys is one of five species of rodent in the genus Batomys. It is in the diverse family Muridae. This species is endemic to the Philippines.
Camiguin forest rat, or Camiguin bullimus is one of four species of rodents in the genus Bullimus. It is endemic to the island of Camiguin, the Philippines.
Valencia is the only genus in the family Valenciidae. Valencia is a genus of ray-finned fishes. It is sometimes grouped into the family Cyprinodontidae. Members of this genus are restricted to southern Europe.
Paraclinus is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to eastern Pacific Ocean and the western Atlantic Ocean.
Mentodus is a genus of tubeshoulders.
Brotulotaenia is a genus of cusk-eels. It is the only genus in the subfamily Brotulotaeniinae.
Melamphaes is a genus of fish in the family Melamphaidae found in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Albert Eide Parr was an American marine biologist, zoologist and oceanographer. He was the director of the American Museum of Natural History from 1942 to 1959. Parrosaurus missouriensis, a species of plant-eating dinosaur, is named after him.
