Leucetta pyriformis is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucettidae, and was first described in 1913 by Arthur Dendy. [1]
Leucosolenida is an order of sponges in the class Calcarea and the subclass Calcaronea. Species in Leucosolenida are calcareous, with a skeleton composed exclusively of free spicules without calcified non-spicular reinforcements.
Ascute is a genus of calcareous sponges. It contains two species, both found in Australia:
Nepenthes × pyriformis is a natural hybrid involving N. inermis and N. talangensis. It is known only from Mount Talang in Sumatra, to which N. talangensis is endemic. Nepenthes talangensis was only described as a distinct species in 1994. Prior to this it was placed within N. bongso and some of the older literature identifies this hybrid as N. bongso × N. inermis.
Leucosolenia is a genus of calcareous sponges belonging to the family Leucosoleniidae. Species of this genus usually appear as groups of curved vases, up to 2 cm long, each ending in an osculum. The overall shape is sometimes likened to a tiny bunch of bananas. They are most often observed in tide pools, clustered around the base of seaweeds or on rocks, and occur in a variety of colours, usually rather pale. Its canal system is of asconoid type. The colony consists of few simple vase-like, cylindrical individuals each terminating in an osculum and united at their bases by irregular horizontal tubes. Leucosolenia reproduces both asexually and sexually. asexual reproduction by budding and sexual reproduction takes place by formation of gametes, i.e., ova and sperms. Lecosolenia is hermaphrodite, because both the gametes are formed in the body of same individual. Sponges are mostly asymmetrical, but Leucosolenia is symmetrical.
Hymeniacidon is a genus of sea sponges in the class Demospongiae. Some members of the genus are known to be mobile, achieving speeds of between 1 and 4 mm per day.
Xanthodaphne pyriformis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.
Xanthodaphne is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.
Sycon is a genus of calcareous sponges belonging to the family Sycettidae. These sponges are small, growing up to 7.5 cm with a length from 2.5 to 7.5 cm, and are tube-shaped and often white to cream in colour. They are known to aquarium hobbyists as "Pineapple" or "Q-Tip" sponges, and are frequent "hitchhikers" accidentally brought in.
Stelletta is a genus of sea sponges belonging to the family Ancorinidae.
Higginsia is a genus of sea sponges belonging to the order Axinellida.
Myrmecia pyriformis, also known as the bull ant or inch ant, is an Australian ant. Myrmecia pyriformis belongs to the genus Myrmecia. It is abundant in many major cities of Australia, but mostly spotted in the eastern states. The species is of a similar appearance to the Myrmecia forficata.
Notodoris serenae is a species of sea slug. It is a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Aegiridae.
Ascaltis is a genus of sponges in the family Leucascidae, first described in 1872 by Ernst Haeckel.
Leucetta is a genus of sponges in the family Leucettidae, which was first described in 1872 by Ernst Haeckel. The type species is Leucetta primigenia Haeckel, 1872 by subsequent designation.
Calyx is a genus of sea sponges of the family Phloeodictyidae.
Leucettusa is a genus of sponges belonging to the family Leucaltidae. The species of this genus are mostly known from the Arctic and Antarctic, New Zealand and Southwest Australia.
Leucetta chagosensis is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucettidae, and was first described in 1913 by Arthur Dendy. The species epithet, chagosensis, comes from the Latin with the ending -ensis indicating that the species comes from the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The taxonomic decision for synonymy is based on Maurice Burton (1963).
Leucetta primigenia is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucettidae, and was first described in 1872 by Ernst Haeckel.
Pericharax is a genus of sponges in the family Leucettidae, which was first described in 1883 by Poléjaeff.
