Kallirhynchia is an extinct genus of brachiopods found in Jurassic strata in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, India and Uzbekistan. It was a stationary epifaunal suspension feeder. [1]
Drepanosticta is a genus of damselfly in the family Platystictidae. Some authors consider some species to be in the genus Ceylonosticta.
Sphyradium is a genus of very small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Orculidae within the superfamily Pupilloidea.
Xyletobius is a genus of beetles in the family Ptinidae.
Hydroscapha is a genus of beetles endemic to Europe and the United States. It contains these species:
Jacobsoniidae are a family of tiny beetles belonging to Staphylinoidea. The larvae and adults live under bark, in plant litter, fungi, bat guano and rotten wood. There are around 28 described species in three genera:
The Chari Formation is a Jurassic geologic formation in Gujarat, western India. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus. The ammonite Reineckeia has also been found here. The skulls of two marine crocodiles have also been found and have been putatively identified as Steneosaurus.
Indjapyx is a genus of diplurans in the family Japygidae.
Drosophila sharpi is a rare species of fly, one of several species known as the Hawaiian picture-wing flies. It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known only from the island of Kauai. It was federally listed as an endangered species of the United States in 2010.
Sharpirhynchia sharpi is a species of extinct, small-sized lampshell, named after Samuel Sharp (1814–1882), an early fossil collector, who discovered the limited time span of some fossils, now known as index fossils. S. sharpi is a marine rhynchonellate brachiopod in the family Rhynchonellidae. It is roughly ½ inch (1.25 cm) measured along the axis, with a slender beak, the brachial valve more convex than the pedunculate valve, and it has 21–31 ribs fanning out from the hinge.
Chostonectes is a genus of beetles in the family Dytiscidae, containing the following species:
Phloeolaemus is a genus of beetles in the family Laemophloeidae, containing the following species:
Platamus is a genus of beetles in the family Silvanidae, containing the following species:
Taphroscelidia is a genus of beetles in the family Passandridae.
Copelatus sharpi is a species of diving beetle. It is part of the subfamily Copelatinae in the family Dytiscidae. It was described by Branden in 1885.
Mecyclothorax sharpi is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Psydrinae. It was described by Britton in 1948.
Finedon Top Lodge Quarry, also known as Finedon Gullet is a 0.9-hectare (2.2-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire. It is a Geological Conservation Review site revealing a sequence of middle Jurassic limestones, sandstones and ironstones, and is the type section for a sequence of sedimentary rocks known as the 'Wellingborough Member'. It was created by quarrying for the underlying ironstone for use at Wellingborough and Corby Steelworks; the ore was transported by the 1,000 mm gauge Wellingborough Tramway.
Indjapyx sharpi is a species of forcepstail in the family Japygidae. It is found in Oceania.
Microbivory is a feeding behavior consisting of eating microbes practiced by animals of the mesofauna, microfauna and meiofauna.
Trigonurus sharpi is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae. It is found in North America.
Pseudoarctolepis is an extinct genus of bivalved arthropod known from the Cambrian period. The type species, P. sharpi was described by Brooks & Caster in 1956 from specimens found in the Wheeler Shale of Utah. It is unusual among Cambrian arthropods for having a pair of wing-like structures projecting outwards from the carapace. A second species, P. semicircularis has been described from the Kaili Biota in South China, which differs from the type species in the fact that the wings are semicircular rather than blade-like. A possible related form has been reported from the Ordovician of Portugal. They were relatively large, with some carapaces of P. sharpi reaching 11 centimetres (4.3 in) in length. The soft-bodied anatomy is poorly known, though the poorly preserved posterior anatomy of a specimen of P. sharpi is known, which consists of a narrow segmented abdomen, which ends with a pair of caudal rami. They are thought to have been actively swimming nektonic organisms. Affinities to the bivalved arthropod group Hymenocarina have been proposed, but the limited knowledge of the anatomy makes the referral tentative.
