Myrionema is a genus of hydrozoans belonging to the family Eudendriidae. [1]
The species of this genus are found in Caribbean and Malesia. [1]
Species: [1]
The orthopteran family Rhaphidophoridae of the suborder Ensifera has a worldwide distribution. Common names for these insects include cave crickets, camel crickets, spider crickets, and sand treaders. Those occurring in New Zealand are typically referred to as jumping or cave wētā. Most are found in forest environments or within caves, animal burrows, cellars, under stones, or in wood or similar environments. All species are flightless and nocturnal, usually with long antennae and legs. More than 500 species of Rhaphidophoridae are described.
The Tettigoniinae are a subfamily of bush crickets or katydids, which contains hundreds of species in about twelve tribes.
Pharmacus is a genus of cave wētā in the family Rhaphidophoridae, endemic to New Zealand. All species are alpine adapted and found at high elevations in the South Island. They live among rocks on high mountain ridges, often well above glaciers and vegetation. Pharmacus has a geographical range that extends from Nelson south to central Otago and Fiordland. They are small insects with a body length of approximately 14-20mm. In this genus, females are larger than males. All species exhibit dark brown to black pigmentation of the body and legs. They have a dense clothing of setae and a serrated ovipositor. When active they are lively jumpers. For example, Pharmacus montanus is known as the Mount Cook flea because of its habit of leaping out of rock crevices on to mountain climbers.
Chirocentrites is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish in the order Ichthyodectiformes. It contains a single species, C. coroninii, from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Slovenia. A potential specimen is also known from the Albian-aged Pietraroja Plattenkalk of southern Italy, but it has been suggested that this specimen actually represents Cladocyclus.
Macroxiphus is a small genus of bush crickets or katydids distributed in Southeast Asia and Micronesia. The nymphs of the insects mimic ants.
The subfamily Pseudophyllinae contains numerous species in the family Tettigoniidae, the katydids or bush crickets. Sometimes called "true katydids", together with the crickets of suborder Ensifera, they form part of the insect order Orthoptera which also contains grasshoppers.
Tettigonia is the type genus of bush crickets belonging to the subfamily Tettigoniinae. The scientific name Tettigonia is onomatopoeic and derives from the Greek τεττιξ, meaning cicada.
Eudendriidae is a taxonomic family of hydroids (Hydrozoa). The family contains around 85 species.
Ectopleura is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Tubulariidae.
Macrorhynchia is a genus of hydroids in the family Aglaopheniidae.
Belinurus is an extinct genus of arthropods belonging to the order Xiphosura. It is part of the family Belinuridae, in the infraorder Belinurina. There used to be a longstanding academic controversy on whether Belinurus, Belinurus or Bellinurus had priority as a name over the genus. In 2021, the American paleontologist James C. Lamsdell did a study on this controversy and determined that the first name was not formally published and was therefore invalid and that the second one was valid and therefore had priority over the third one, the name of the genus thus being Belinurus.
Orchelimum is a genus of katydid with 21 known species.
Taeniopteryx is a genus of winter stoneflies in the family Taeniopterygidae. There are more than 20 described species in Taeniopteryx.
Pharmacus montanus, the Mount Cook flea, is a type of cave wētā found above the tree line in the South Island of New Zealand. It was first described by Francois Jules Pictet de la Rive and Henri Saussure in 1893. Pharmacus montanus is one of the most widespread species within the genus, found from Aoraki/Mount Cook to Mount Owen in northern South Island. The highest recorded specimens of this species are from a population between 2700 and 2800 m above sea level on Mount Annan above the Tasman Glacier.
Anabropsis is a genus of king crickets in the tribe Anabropsini. They are found tropical areas of the Americas, Africa and Asia.
Paracinipe is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Pamphagidae. There are about 18 described species in Paracinipe, found in northern Africa and the Middle East.
Siphonoperla is a genus of stoneflies in the family Chloroperlidae.
Asarcogryllacris is an Asian genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets': in the subfamily Gryllacridinae and tribe Asarcogryllacridini. Species have been recorded from Indochina and west Malesia.
Clytia is a genus of hydrozoans belonging to the family Campanulariidae.
Mitrocomium is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Lovenellidae.
