Oopterinus is a genus of antlike weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are about 12 described species in Oopterinus. [1] [2] [3]
These 12 species belong to the genus Oopterinus:
Rhinoclemmys is a genus of turtles in the family Geoemydidae, the only genus in the subfamily Rhinoclemmydinae. Member species of the genus are commonly known as the Neotropical wood turtles and are the only geoemydids known from the Americas. As such, they have adapted to a wide range of habitats, which is reflected in the species' common names.
Members of the family Narkidae are commonly known as sleeper rays. They are restricted to the temperate and tropical Indo-West Pacific from South Africa to Japan to Indonesia, and are exclusively marine and are absent from freshwater habitats. They occur from the intertidal zone to the continental shelf and the upper continental slope to a depth of 350 meters, favoring soft-bottomed habitats.
Nosodendridae is a family of beetles, with less than a hundred species in three extant genera, which are found worldwide. Nosodendron, the largest genus, is found in forests and attracted to yeast generated slime on the wounds of trees, and likely consumes fermented substances as well as fungi and microorganisms. Several additional genera and species are known from the fossil record. Nosodendridae is considered to be an isolated lineage within Polyphaga, being the sister group to the clade containing Staphyliniformia, Bostrichoidea and Cucujiformia.
Oroperipatus is a genus of Neotropical velvet worms in the family Peripatidae. Species in this genus are found in South America west of the Andes and in Mexico. This genus is viviparous, with mothers supplying nourishment to their embryos through a placenta.
The blind electric ray is a little-known species of sleeper ray in the family Narkidae, endemic to New Zealand. It is found on the bottom, typically at a depth of 300–400 m (980–1,310 ft). Reaching 38 cm (15 in) in length, this species has a thin, nearly circular pectoral fin disc without visible eyes, and a short tail with a single dorsal fin. Its pelvic fins are divided in two, with the anterior portion forming a limb-like appendage; in males the claspers do not extend past the disc margin. A weak swimmer, the blind electric ray likely pushes itself along using its pelvic fins. It is known to feed on polychaete worms, and can defend itself with an electric shock. Reproduction is aplacental viviparous. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) does not have enough information to assess the conservation status of this species.
Monochaetia is a genus of fungi in the family Sporocadaceae. Species in the genus are typically plant parasites and saprobes, and cause leaf spot diseases on various hosts.
Oopterinus distinctus is a species of weevil in the family Curculionidae, in the order Coleoptera. It was first recorded only within four counties in Arkansas when discovered in 1985, but has since been identified in additional counties in Arkansas as well as Louisiana and Alabama as of 2016.
Macrorhoptus is a genus of weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are about nine described species in Macrorhoptus, found in the Americas.
Myrmex is a genus of snout and bark beetles in the family Curculionidae. There are at least 30 described species in Myrmex.
Phyllotrox is a genus of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are at least 60 described species in Phyllotrox.
Tachygonus is a genus of flea weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are more than 80 described species in Tachygonus.
Neoerethistes is a genus of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are more than 30 described species in Neoerethistes. The only species in North American north of Mexico is Neoerethistes arizonicus, found in the southwestern United States.
Gerstaeckeria is a genus of cactus weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are more than 40 described species in Gerstaeckeria.
Onychylis is a genus of marsh weevils in the beetle family Brachyceridae. There are about 12 described species in Onychylis.
Sternechus is a genus of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are more than 50 described species in Sternechus.
Centrinites is a genus of flower weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are about 19 described species in Centrinites.
Hilipinus is a genus of pine weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are at least 50 described species in Hilipinus.
Hapalips is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 12 described species in Hapalips.
Stenomimus is a genus of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are more than 30 described species in the genus Stenomimus.
