Limnatis is a genus of freshwater leeches, recorded from Europe, Africa and western Asia. [1] [2] Authorities disagree whether this genus should be placed in the family Hirudinidae [3] or Praobdellidae. [1]
Limnatis includes the following species: [4] [1]
The white-faced storm petrel, also known as white-faced petrel is a small seabird of the austral storm petrel family Oceanitidae. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Pelagodroma.
Christian Horace Benedict Alfred Moquin-Tandon was a French naturalist and doctor.
Limax is a genus of air-breathing land slugs in the terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk family Limacidae.
Maireana is a genus of around 57 species of perennial shrubs and herbs in the family Amaranthaceae which are endemic to Australia. Species in this genus were formerly classified within the genus Kochia. The genus was described in 1840 by the botanist, Moquin-Tandon and named to honour Joseph François Maire (1780-1867), an amateur botanist who befriended him during the author's first visit to Paris in 1834.
Parmacella is a genus of air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Parmacellidae.
Platyla is a genus of very small land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Aciculidae.
The Vermetidae, the worm snails or worm shells, are a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. The shells of species in the family Vermetidae are extremely irregular, and do not resemble the average snail shell, hence the common name "worm shells" or "worm snails".
Abida is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Chondrinidae.
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms.
Phaenomenella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.
Sipho is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.
Prayidae is a family of marine invertebrates in the order Siphonophora. They are colonial, and the colonies can superficially resemble jellyfish; although they appear to be a single organism, each specimen is actually a colony of Siphonophora.
The Abylidae are a family of marine invertebrates in the order Siphonophora. They are colonial, but the colonies can superficially resemble jellyfish; although they appear to be a single organism, each specimen is actually a colony of Siphonophora.
The Diphyidae are a family of siphonophores. These are colonial siphonophores with two nectophores arranged one behind the other. The front one includes a somatocyst, while the hind one does not. The somatocyst often contains an oil droplet for buoyancy control. A nectosac in each nectophore allows the organism to swim efficiently.
Hirudinidae is a family of leeches belonging to the order Arhynchobdellida.
Arthrocnemum is a genus of shrubs in the family Amaranthaceae. Plants are halophytes with fleshy, apparently articulated plant stems and reduced leaves and flowers. There are two species, occurring from Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region, to western tropical Africa and Macaronesia. An American species will have to be excluded.
Praobdellidae is a family of hematophagous leeches which live on the mucous membranes of mammals. These are internal parasites that enter the body through natural orifices, and cause hirudiniases.
Bythinellidae is a family of small freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod molluscs in the order Littorinimorpha.
Calyx is a genus of sea sponges of the family Phloeodictyidae.
Batracobdella is a genus of Glossiphoniidae. This genus is valid in Europe. But in North America, it has been synonymized to Desserobdella.
