Megalothorax minimus is a species of springtail in the family Neelidae. It is found primarily in Europe, but has also been observed in North America. [1] [2] [3]
Chipmunks are small, striped rodents of Sciuridae, the squirrel family; specifically, they are ground squirrels (Marmotini). Chipmunks are found in North America, with the exception of the Siberian chipmunk which is found primarily in Asia.
The American bushtit, or simply bushtit, is a social songbird belonging to the genus Psaltriparus. It is one of the smallest passerines in North America and it is the only species in the family Aegithalidae that is found in United States; the other seven species are found in Eurasia.
The Gunnison grouse, Gunnison sage-grouse or lesser sage-grouse is a species of grouse endemic to the United States. It is similar to the closely related greater sage-grouse in appearance, but about a third smaller in size, with much thicker plumes behind the head; it also has a less elaborate courtship dance. It is restricted in range to southwestern Colorado and extreme southeastern Utah, with the largest population residing in the Gunnison Basin region in Colorado. Despite being native to a country where the avifauna is relatively well known, it was overlooked until the 1990s due to the similarities with the sage grouse, and only described as a new species in 2000—making it the first new avian species to be described from the USA since the 19th century. The description of C. minimus as a separate species is supported by a molecular study of genetic variation, showing that gene flow between the large-bodied and the small-bodied birds is absent.
The jack snipe or jacksnipe is a small stocky wader. It is the smallest snipe, and the only member of the genus Lymnocryptes. Features such as its sternum make it quite distinct from other snipes or woodcocks.
The gray-cheeked thrush is a medium-sized thrush. This species is 15–17 cm (5.9–6.7 in) in length, and has the white-dark-white underwing pattern characteristic of Catharus thrushes. It is a member of a close-knit group of migrant species together with the veery and Bicknell's thrush; it forms a cryptic species pair with the latter. The gray-cheeked thrush is all but indistinguishable from Bicknell's thrush except by its slightly larger size and different song. The two were formerly considered conspecific. Of all the American spotted thrushes, the gray-cheeked has the most northern breeding range.
The long-tongued nectar bat, also known as the northern blossom bat, honey nectar bat, least blossom-bat, dagger-toothed long-nosed fruit bat, and lesser long-tongued fruit bat, is a species of megabat. M. minimus is one of the smallest species in the family Pteropodidae, with an average length of 60–85 mm. It has a reddish-brown colouring with relatively long hair compared to the other species. The hair on the abdomen is a lighter colour, and a dark brown stripe runs bilaterally down the top of the head and back.
The Great Nicobar serpent eagle, also known as the South Nicobar serpent eagle, is a species of bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It is probably the smallest known eagle, with a weight of about 450 g (0.99 lb), a wingspan of 85 to 95 cm and a body length of about 38 to 42 cm. It is endemic to forest on the Indian island of Great Nicobar. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Peripsocus minimus is a species of stout barklouse in the family Peripsocidae. It is found in North America.
Protochauliodes is a genus of fishflies in the family Corydalidae. There are about 13 described species in Protochauliodes.
Holcopasites minimus is a species of cuckoo bee in the family Apidae. It is found from Mexico to Canada.
Lopheros is a genus of net-winged beetles in the family Lycidae. There are about eight described species in Lopheros.
Xeracris is a genus of slant-faced grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least two described species in Xeracris.
Protochauliodes minimus is a species of fishfly in the family Corydalidae. It is found in North America.
Phloeophagus is a genus of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are more than 30 described species in Phloeophagus.
Megalothorax is a genus of springtails in the family Neelidae. There are about 14 described species in Megalothorax.
Micromimus is a genus of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are about 18 described species in Micromimus.
Eremosaprinus minimus is a species of clown beetle in the family Histeridae. It is found in North America.
Sphenophorus minimus, the lesser billbug, is a species of beetle in the family Dryophthoridae. It is found in North America.
Sato's beaked whale is a little-known species of four-toothed whale, a type of beaked whale.
Amorphophallus minimus is a species of corpse flower found in the Philippines endemic to the Pantabangan-Carranglan Watershed Forest Reserve, Nueva Ecija province. Amorphophallus minimus is 24 cm in height and is the 17th known species in the genus Amorphophallus in the Philippines and is the 198th species of the genus Amorphophallus worldwide. The species has a rust colouration with a lichen like pattern. Amorphophallus minimus grows at an elevation of 950 to 1,400 meters and has a small habitat range.
