Opheodesoma is a genus of sea cucumbers in the family Synaptidae. [1]
The World Register of Marine Species lists the following species : [1]
Holothuria is the type genus of the marine animal family Holothuriidae, part of the class Holothuroidea, commonly known as sea cucumbers. Members of the genus are found in coastal waters in tropical and temperate regions. They are soft bodied, limbless invertebrates that dwell on the ocean floor and are usually detritivore. They resemble a cucumber in form. The genus contains some species that are harvested and sold as food.
Onchidium is a genus of air-breathing sea slugs, shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidiidae. There are only three species currently recognised in the genus.
Paraoncidium is a genus of air-breathing sea slugs, a shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidiidae.
Synaptidae is a family of sea cucumbers that have no tube feet, tentacle ampullae, retractor muscles, respiratory trees, or cuvierian tubules. They also lack radial canals of the water-vascular system, with only the circumoral ring present.

Bohadschia is a genus of marine sea cucumbers in the family Holothuriidae.
Leptasterias is a genus of starfish in the family Asteriidae. Members of this genus are characterised by having six arms although five-armed specimens sometimes occur. L. muelleri is the type species. The taxonomy of the genus is confusing and Leptasterias hexactis seems to be a species complex. Some species brood their eggs.

Euapta is a genus of sea cucumbers in the family Synaptidae.
Anapta is a genus of sea cucumbers in the family Synaptidae.
Polyplectana is a genus of sea cucumbers in the family Synaptidae. The type species is Polyplectana kefersteinii.
