Haustorius is a genus of amphipods in the family Haustoriidae. There are about six described species in Haustorius. [1] [2] [3]
These six species belong to the genus Haustorius:
Slipper lobsters are a family (Scyllaridae) of about 90 species of achelate crustaceans, in the Decapoda clade Reptantia, found in all warm oceans and seas. They are not true lobsters, but are more closely related to spiny lobsters and furry lobsters. Slipper lobsters are instantly recognisable by their enlarged antennae, which project forward from the head as wide plates. All the species of slipper lobsters are edible, and some, such as the Moreton Bay bug and the Balmain bug are of commercial importance.
The sixgill sharks are a genus, Hexanchus, of deepwater sharks in the family Hexanchidae. These sharks are characterized by a broad, pointed head, six pairs of gill slits, comb-like, yellow lower teeth, and a long tail. The largest species can grow up to 8 m long and weigh over 600 kg (1320 lb). They are continental shelf-dwelling and abyssal plain scavengers with a keen sense of smell and are among the first to arrive at carrion, together with hagfish and rattails. They show a characteristic rolling motion of the head when feeding.
The freshwater whitefish are fishes of the subfamily Coregoninae, which contains whitefishes and ciscoes, and is one of three subfamilies in the salmon family Salmonidae. Apart from the subfamily Coregoninae, the family Salmonidae includes the salmon, trout, and char species of the subfamily Salmoninae, and grayling species of the subfamily Thymallinae. Freshwater whitefish are distributed mainly in relatively cool waters throughout the northern parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
Turbinellidae are a family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Neogastropoda. Members of this family are predators.
The genus Ceratium is restricted to a small number of freshwater dinoflagellate species. Previously the genus contained also a large number of marine dinoflagellate species. However, these marine species have now been assigned to a new genus called Tripos. Ceratium dinoflagellates are characterized by their armored plates, two flagella, and horns. They are found worldwide and are of concern due to their blooms.
Corallimorpharia is an order of marine cnidarians closely related to stony or reef building corals (Scleractinia). They occur in both temperate and tropical climates, although they are mostly tropical. Temperate forms tend to be very robust, with wide and long columns, whereas tropical forms tend to have very short columns with a wide oral disc and very short tentacles. The tentacles are usually arranged in rows radiating from the mouth. Many species occur together in large groups, although there are recorded instances of individuals. In many respects, they resemble the stony corals, except for the absence of a stony skeleton. Morphological and molecular evidence suggests that they are very closely related to stony corals.
Seguenzioidea is a superfamily of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Pusia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Costellariidae.
Rhopalotria is a genus of cycad weevils in the beetle family Belidae. There are about six described species in Rhopalotria.
Listemus is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are at least four described species in Listemus.
Elipsocus is a genus of damp barklice in the family Elipsocidae. There are more than 20 described species in Elipsocus.
Macrohydnobius is a genus of round fungus beetles in the family Leiodidae. There are about six described species in Macrohydnobius.
Keltonia is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are about 13 described species in Keltonia.
Americorchestia is a genus of beach hoppers in the family Talitridae. There are about five described species in Americorchestia.
Aphonus is a genus of rhinoceros beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are about six described species in Aphonus.
Hippeutister is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are about six described species in Hippeutister.
Halobrecta is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about six described species in Halobrecta.
Cychramus is a genus of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are about six described species in Cychramus.
Haustorius canadensis is a species of amphipod in the family Haustoriidae.
Heteropsammia is a genus of apozooxanthellate corals that belong to the family Dendrophylliidae.
