Pachyura is a genus of beetles which belong to the family Belidae. [1] [2]
The white-toothed shrews or Crocidurinae are one of three subfamilies of the shrew family Soricidae.
Spilotantha is a genus proposed by Carlyle Luer; however, the genus lacks a clear synapomorphy and it is equivalent to Masdevallia subgenus Amanda, section Amandae.
Belinae are a Gondwanan subfamily of beetles which belong to the belids, primitive weevils of the family Belidae. Like in other belids, their antennae are straight, not elbowed as in the true weevils (Curculionidae). The Belinae make up the bulk of the diversity of living belid genera. They are found in the Australia-New Guinea-New Zealand and South America.
The North African white-toothed shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found on the islands of Ibiza, Sardinia, and Pantelleria in the Mediterranean Sea, in northern Algeria, and in northern Tunisia.
The Petralona cave also Cave of the Red Stones, a karst formation, is located at 300 m (984 ft) above sea-level on the western foot of Mount Katsika, about 1 km (0.62 mi) east of the village of Petralona, about 35 km (22 mi) south-east of Thessaloniki city on the Chalkidiki peninsula, Greece. The site came to public attention when in 1960 a fossilized archaic human skull was found. The cave had been discovered accidentally only a year earlier (1959) after erosion had left clefts in the rock. "Bejeweled" with impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations and holding an abundance of fossils, the cave soon attracted geologists and paleontologists. After decades of excavations the cave is open to the public and scientific work is documented and presented in an adjacent archaeological museum.
Urotheca is a genus of snakes of the family Colubridae. The genus is endemic to the New World.
Iviraiva is a genus of South American tree trunk spiders that was first described by C. A. Rheims & Antônio Brescovit in 2004. As of May 2019 it contains only two species: I. argentina and I. pachyura.
