The Opiliones are an order of arachnids, colloquially known as harvestmen, harvesters, harvest spiders, or daddy longlegs. As of July 2024, over 6,650 species of harvestmen have been discovered worldwide, although the total number of extant species may exceed 10,000. The order Opiliones includes five suborders: Cyphophthalmi, Eupnoi, Dyspnoi, Laniatores, and Tetrophthalmi, which were named in 2014.
Cosmetidae is a family of harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores. With over 700 species, it is one of the largest families in Opiliones. They are endemic of the New World with a Nearctic-Neotropical distribution where a large fraction of the diversity of Opiliones are represented by this single family. Cosmetidae have the northern extent of their range into the USA, where a small number species occur in the southern states. However, the family is especially diverse in Mexico, Central America and northern South America; especially the Andean realms. Their range also extends further south into Argentina and southern Brazil, but they are absent in Chile. Cosmetidae are prevalent in Amazonian region, but only relatively few also occur in Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Several species are also found in the Caribbean.
Platymantis bimaculatus is a species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia.
Leptomantis bimaculatus is a species of frog in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae). Described by Wilhelm Peters in 1867, it is endemic to the Philippines. There, it is known to occur on the islands of Bohol, Mindanao, and in the south of Luzon; it might also be found on other islands as its known range brackets the main chain of the Philippines archipelago.
The Sclerosomatidae are a family of harvestmen with about 1,300 known species. One former subfamily has been recently removed to form a new family, Globipedidae.
Escadabiidae is a small neotropical family of the harvestman infraorder Grassatores with six described species.
Podoctidae is a family of the harvestman infraorder Grassatores with about 130 described species.
The African jewelfish, also known as jewel cichlid or jewelfish, is from the family Cichlidae.
Ecsenius bimaculatus, known commonly as the twinspot coralblenny, is a species of marine fish in the family Blenniidae.
The twospot hogfish is a species of wrasse native to the Indo-Pacific from Madagascar to New Caledonia and from Japan to New Zealand. This species prefers areas of reefs with substrates of rubble or sand at depths from 30 to 60 m. This species can reach a length of 10 cm (3.9 in). It can be found in the aquarium trade.
Yania is a genus of harvestmen from South America. Yania flavolimbata is the only species in the monotypic genus Yania. It was first described by Roewer, 1914.
The two-spotted bumble bee is a species of social bumble bee found in the eastern half of the United States and the adjacent south-eastern part of Canada. In older literature this bee is often referred to as Bremus bimaculatus, Bremus being a synonym for Bombus. The bee's common name comes from the two yellow spots on its abdomen. Unlike many of the other species of bee in the genus Bombus,B. bimaculatus is not on the decline, but instead is very stable. They are abundant pollinators that forage at a variety of plants.
The twinspot triplefin is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Lepidonectes. It was described by Gerald R. Allen and David Ross Robertson in 1992. This species is found in the eastern Pacific Ocean where it has been recorded only in the vicinity of Malpelo Island in Colombia. The twinspot triplefin acts as a cleaner fish, its only client species being the grouper Epinephelus labriformis.
Ompok bimaculatus, known as butter catfish, is a species of sheatfishes native to Asian countries such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, but recently identified in Myanmar. It also indetified in Mekong Basin of Vietnam
Holozoster ovalis is a species of harvestmen endemic to Mahe Island of Seychelles.
The Moluccan monarch is a species of bird in the family Monarchidae. It is found in Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Octopus bimaculatus, commonly referred to as Verrill's two-spot octopus, is a similar species to the Octopus bimaculoides, a species it is often mistaken for. The two can be distinguished by the difference in the blue and black chain-like pattern of the ocelli. O. bimaculatus hunt and feed on a diverse number of benthic organisms that also reside off the coast of Southern California. Once the octopus reaches sexual maturity, it shortly dies after mating, which is approximately 12–18 months after hatching. Embryonic development tends to be rapid due to this short lifespan of these organisms.
Rhaucus is a genus of harvestmen in the family Cosmetidae. The genus is endemic to the northern Andes in Colombia. There are currently seven described species in the genus.
