Lycengraulis is a genus of anchovies containing four recognized species. They are restricted to the Western Hemisphere in the waters in and around Central America and South America.
There are currently five recognized species in this genus: [1] [2]
Puntius is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae native to South Asia and Mainland Southeast Asia, as well as Taiwan.
The Natricinae are a subfamily of colubroid snakes, sometimes referred to as a family (Natricidae). The subfamily comprises 37 genera. Members include many very common snake species, such as the European grass snakes, and the North American water snakes and garter snakes. Some Old World members of the subfamily are known as keelbacks, because their dorsal scales exhibit strong keeling.
Barbonymus is a ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae, containing some barb species. The genus was only established in 1999, with the tinfoil barb as type species; thus, these fish are sometimes collectively called tinfoils. The new genus was established in recognition of the fact that some large Asian "barbs", formerly rather indiscriminately lumped in Barbus, Barbodes and Puntius, form a distinct evolutionary lineage.
Rhamnophis is a genus of arboreal venomous snakes, commonly known as dagger-tooth tree snakes or large-eyed tree snakes, in the family Colubridae. The genus is endemic to equatorial sub-Saharan Africa. There are two recognized species.
Labeo is a genus of carps in the family Cyprinidae. They are found in freshwater habitats in the tropics and subtropics of Africa and Asia.
Sardinella is a genus of fish in the family Clupeidae found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. They are abundant in warmer waters of the tropical and subtropical oceans. Adults are generally coastal, schooling, marine fish but juveniles are often found in lagoons and estuaries. These species are distinguished by their ranges and by specific body features, but they are often confused with one another. Fish of the genus have seven to 14 striped markings along the scales of the top of the head. The paddle-shaped supramaxilla bones are characteristic; they separate Sardinella from other genera and their shapes help distinguish species. They have paired predorsal scales and enlarged fin rays.
Acheilognathus is a genus of cyprinid fish native to Asia. The name is derived from the Greek a, meaning "without", the Greek cheilos, meaning "lip", and the Greek gnathos, meaning "jaw".
Hypoptopoma is a genus of armored catfishes native to South America.
Cteniloricaria is a genus of armored catfishes native to northern South America.
Brycinus is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Alestiidae. Like other "African characids", they were formerly included in the Characidae but are actually somewhat more distantly related Characiformes.
Stolephorus is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Engraulidae.
Enchelyurus is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Leptophis is a genus of colubrid snakes, commonly known as parrot snakes, which are endemic to the Americas.
Paramormyrops is a genus of elephantfish in the family Mormyridae from Africa.
Anchoa is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Engraulidae. It currently consists of 35 species.
Anchoviella is a genus of anchovies, native to coastal parts of the tropical western Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans, as well as rivers in South America.
Lycothrissa crocodilus, the sabretooth thryssa, is a species of anchovy which occurs in fresh and brackish water in Southeast Asia. It is the only species in its genus.
Oligoplites is a genus of carangid leatherjackets native to warmer seas off the Americas, including the East Pacific, West Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
Rhadinaea is a genus of snakes of the family Colubridae.
Alurnus is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae.
