Laphystia litoralis is a species of robber flies in the family Asilidae. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Cochranella is a genus of glass frogs, family Centrolenidae. They are found in Central America from Honduras southward to the Amazonian and Andean cloud forests of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
Verbena brasiliensis, the Brazilian verbena or Brazilian vervain, is a flowering plant species from the vervain family (Verbenaceae). It is native to parts of South America, namely Brazil, but has spread its range in recent times and has occasionally become an invasive weed. It is an annual plant with purple flowers, and it has been introduced outside of its native range as an ornamental plant, and is now largely considered an invasive weed in these regions.
The coastal snake-eyed skink or supralittoral shinning-skink is a small skink found in North Queensland, Australia and New Guinea.
Cochranella litoralis is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is known from the Pacific lowlands of southwestern Colombia and northern Ecuador. The specific name litoralis refers to the proximity of the type locality to the sea.
Caldococcus is a genus of Archaea in the order Desulfurococcales.
Thermococcus litoralis is a species of Archaea that is found around deep-sea hydrothermal vents as well as shallow submarine thermal springs and oil wells. It is an anaerobic organotroph hyperthermophile that is between 0.5–3.0 µm in diameter. Like the other species in the order thermococcales, T. litoralis is an irregular hyperthermophile coccus that grows between 55–100 °C. Unlike many other thermococci, T. litoralis is non-motile. Its cell wall consists only of a single S-layer that does not form hexagonal lattices. Additionally, while many thermococcales obligately use sulfur as an electron acceptor in metabolism, T. litoralis only needs sulfur to help stimulate growth, and can live without it. T. litoralis has recently been popularized by the scientific community for its ability to produce an alternative DNA polymerase to the commonly used Taq polymerase. The T. litoralis polymerase, dubbed the vent polymerase, has been shown to have a lower error rate than Taq but due to its proofreading 3’-5’ exonuclease abilities.
Estheria is a genus of bristle flies in the family Tachinidae. There are at least 30 described species in Estheria.
Oberea is a genus of longhorn beetles, most of which are stem borers of various plants, including blackberries and their relatives.
Phycosecidae is a small family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga. The species are small, about 1.5–3.5 mm in length. It contains the single genus Phycosecis with the following species:
Verbena litoralis is a species of verbena known by the common names seashore vervain and Brazilian vervain, and in Hawaiian, ōwī. It is native to the Americas from Mexico south through Central and South America to Argentina and Chile. It is present throughout the world as an introduced species and in some areas a noxious weed. It is naturalized in the contiguous United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Mauritius, the Galápagos Islands, Australia, Easter Island, French Polynesia, Japan, New Zealand, and other places. It grows in many types of habitat, including disturbed and cultivated areas.
Corrigiola litoralis is a species of flowering plant known by the common name strapwort. It can be found as a native species in Europe and Africa, and has been introduced to Australia and North America. In Europe it is a plant of shingly pool margins where water levels fluctuate. In Africa it is found in a variety of habitats.
Poecilanthrax litoralis is a species of bee flies.
Laphystia is a genus of robber flies in the family Asilidae. There are at least 50 described species in Laphystia.
Gracilimiris litoralis is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae. It is found in North America.
Laphystia ochreifrons is a species of robber flies in the family Asilidae.
Laphystia flavipes is a species of robber flies in the family Asilidae.
Laphystia notata is a species of robber flies in the family Asilidae.
Laphystia texensis is a species of robber flies in the family Asilidae.
Acontias litoralis, the coastal dwarf legless skink or coastal legless skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. It is endemic to South Africa.
Laphyctis is a genus of robberflies restricted to the Afrotropical region. In the past some members were placed in the genus LaphystiaLoew, 1847. Laphyctis has an open R1 cell unlike Laphystia and has long dense macroseta on the distal margin of the male gonocoxite. Most species in the genus are found in dry sandy regions and are active in summer.
