Leptostales oblinataria is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in Florida, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Guyana. [1]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. [2] Subspecies scintillans is more brownish-tinged than the nominate subspecies.
Noctiluca scintillans, commonly known as the sea sparkle, and also published as Noctiluca miliaris, is a free-living, marine-dwelling species of dinoflagellate that exhibits bioluminescence when disturbed. Its bioluminescence is produced throughout the cytoplasm of this single-celled protist, by a luciferin-luciferase reaction in thousands of spherically shaped organelles, called scintillons.
The painted buttonquail is a species of buttonquail, the family Turnicidae, which resemble, but are unrelated to, the quails of Phasianidae. This species is resident in Australia where numbers are believed to be in decline. A subspecies, the Abrolhos painted buttonquail, is endemic to the Houtman Abrolhos islands.
The copper pheasant or Soemmerring's pheasant is endemic to Japan. The scientific name commemorates the German scientist Samuel Thomas von Sömmerring.
The golden swallow is a passerine in the swallow family, Hirundinidae. Two subspecies are recognised, the extinct Jamaican golden swallow and T. e. sclateri of Hispaniola. It usually inhabits the hills on the interior of islands, preferring open country. Currently, this swallow is restricted to isolated montane forests that primarily consist of the Hispaniolan pine. This species is considered to be a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); the nominate subspecies, T. e. euchrysea, is extinct. The exact cause of extinction is unknown, but likely factors include predation by introduced mammals and habitat loss, although the habitat loss theory is not supported by much evidence. The last sighting of the nominate subspecies was in Hardwar Gap, with three birds being seen on 8 June 1989.
The Abrolhos painted buttonquail is a subspecies of the painted buttonquail endemic to the Houtman Abrolhos. It is common on North Island, and also occurs on other islands of the Wallabi Group, namely East Wallabi, West Wallabi, Seagull and Pigeon Islands.
Several extinct species have been postulated, but owing to a lack of evidence they can only be regarded as hypothetical extinct species. They have caused confusion, as they may have been a separate species, a subspecies, an introduced species or a misidentification.
Leptostales is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Anthanassa frisia, the Cuban crescentspot, Cuban checkerspot or Cuban crescent, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.
