Maulisia is a genus of tubeshoulders.
There are currently five recognized species in this genus: [1]
Salamandridae is a family of salamanders consisting of true salamanders and newts. Salamandrids are distinguished from other salamanders by the lack of rib or costal grooves along the sides of their bodies and by their rough skin. Their skin is very granular because of the number of poison glands. They also lack nasolabial grooves. Most species of Salamandridae have moveable eyelids but lack lacrimal glands.
The Asiatic salamanders are primitive salamanders found all over Asia, and in European Russia. They are closely related to the giant salamanders, with which they form the suborder Cryptobranchoidea. About half of hynobiids currently described are endemic to Japan.
Kalophrynus is a genus of microhylid frogs. It is the only genus in the subfamily Kalophryninae. The species in this genus are found in southern China, in Southeast Asia to Java and Philippines, and in Assam, India.
The tubeshoulders are a family, Platytroctidae, of ray-finned fish belonging to the order Alepocephaliformes. They are found throughout the world, except for the Mediterranean Sea. Tubeshoulders live at moderate depths of 300 to 1,000 m, and some have light-producing organs. They are generally small to medium fish, ranging from 9 to 33 cm in length.
Leptolalax is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae. They are sometimes known as Asian toads, metacarpal-tubercled toads, or slender litter frogs, although many species-specific common names do not follow these conventions, and many species do not have common names. They are widely distributed in southeastern and eastern Asia, from southern China and northeastern India to the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. Leptolalax are typically small and have a cryptic colour pattern and no obvious morphological characters useful in systematic studies. Consequently, both molecular genetic analyses and analysis of advertisement calls by male frogs have been important in identifying new species.
Kumba is a genus of rattails.
Bathytroctes is a genus of slickheads that occur in the depths of the oceans.
Conocara is a genus of slickheads found in the deep waters of the oceans.
Talismania is a genus of slickheads.
Barbantus is a genus of tubeshoulders.
Holtbyrnia is a genus of tubeshoulders.
Mentodus is a genus of tubeshoulders.
Normichthys is a genus of tubeshoulder fish, named for the ichthyologist John Roxborough Norman.
Sagamichthys is a genus of tubeshoulders. The generic name derives from Sagami Bay, Japan, and the Greek ἰχθύς (ichthys), "fish".
Searsia koefoedi, or Koefoed's searsid, is a species of tubeshoulder found in the oceans at depths of from 450 to 1,500 metres. It is named after Norwegian marine biologist Einar Koefoed.
Searsioides is a genus of tubeshoulders native to the western central Pacific Ocean.
Platytroctes apus is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Platytroctidae, the tubeshoulders. It is known commonly as the legless searsid and legless tubeshoulder. It is native to tropical and temperate oceans around the world. It has been found at depths between 385 and 5393 meters, but it generally remains between 1000 and 2000 meters.
The bighead searsid is a species of tubeshoulder fish.
Schnakenbeck's searsid is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders).
The multipore searsid is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders).
