Cyrtodactylus is a diverse genus of Asian geckos, commonly known as bent-toed geckos, bow-fingered geckos, and forest geckos. The genus has about 300 described species as of 2020, which makes it the largest of all gecko genera.
Eonycteris is a genus of megabats found in Asia. They are the only members of the tribe Eonycterini. Species within this genus are:
Eumops is a genus of bats in the family Molossidae. A total of 17 species of this genus have been described. The name "Eumops" comes from the Greek prefix "Eu-", meaning "good" or "true," and the Malayan word "mops," which means bat.
Anoura is a genus of leaf-nosed bats from Central and South America. Anoura members lack or have a short tail, and are nectarivorous bats of small to medium size among the Phyllostomidae.

Acanthamoebidae is a family of single-celled eukaryotes within the group Amoebozoa.
Protacanthamoeba is a genus of free-living naked amoebae of the family Acanthamoebidae described in 1981. It has been found in associations with mycobacteria in drinking water networks, along with other Acanthamoebidae genera, likely allowing the replication of both environmental and pathogenic mycobacteria.
Deuteraphorura is a genus of springtails belonging to the family Onychiuridae. There are 83 species in the genus.
The Rousettinae are a subfamily of megabats. Taxa within this subfamily include:
Wilson's long-fingered bat is a species of bat described in 2020 from Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. The name M. wilsoni refers to American evolutionary biologist Edward O. Wilson.
Luapeleamoeba is a genus of naked amoebae of the family Acanthamoebidae.
Dracoamoeba is a free-living genus of discosean amoebae in the family Acanthamoebidae containing the sole species Dracoamoeba jomungandri, discovered in 2016 in moist muddy soil close to the ocean shore at Chincoteague, Virginia (USA).
Luapeleamoeba hula is a species of acanthamoebid amoeba described in 2016, capable of producing protosteloid fruiting bodies that consist of a stalk with one spore. It was obtained from dead māmaki leaves from the Manuka Natural Area Reserve in Hawai'i, USA. It has also been found in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
