Pentacheles is a genus of crustaceans of the class Malacostraca. [1] [2] [3]
Genus is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.
Charales is an order of freshwater green algae in the division Charophyta, class Charophyceae, commonly known as stoneworts. Depending on the treatment of the genus Nitellopsis, living (extant) species are placed into either one family (Characeae) or two. Further families are used for fossil members of the order. Linnaeus established the genus Chara in 1753.
The family Polychelidae contains thirty-eight extant species of blind, benthic lobster-like crustaceans. They are found throughout the world's tropical, sub-tropical and temperate oceans, including the Mediterranean Sea and the Irish Sea.
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms.
Alpheoidea is a superfamily of shrimp. Species of shrimp in the superfamily Alpheoidea are drag swimmers, as opposed to lift swimmers.
Thoridae, also known as broken-back shrimp or anemone shrimp, is a family of cleaner shrimp.
Nerocila is a genus of parasitic isopod crustaceans, with 11 species, which have been found parasitizing Indian marine fishes.
The Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) is a taxonomic database which attempts to cover published genus names for all domains of life, from 1758 in zoology up to the present, arranged in a single, internally consistent taxonomic hierarchy, for the benefit of Biodiversity Informatics initiatives plus general users of biodiversity (taxonomic) information. In addition to containing just over 500,000 published genus name instances as at May 2023, the database holds over 1.7 million species names, although this component of the data is not maintained in as current or complete state as the genus-level holdings. IRMNG can be queried online for access to the latest version of the dataset and is also made available as periodic snapshots or data dumps for import/upload into other systems as desired. The database was commenced in 2006 at the then CSIRO Division of Marine and Atmospheric Research in Australia and, since 2016, has been hosted at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Belgium.
Halichondria aldabrensis is a species of sea sponge belonging to the family Halichondriidae.
Naineris is a genus of polychaete annelids belonging to the family Orbiniidae. It was first described by Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville in 1828. The type species is Nais quadricuspida Fabricius, 1780, currently accepted as Naineris quadricuspida. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution.
Muspiceida is an order of nematodes belonging to the class Enoplea.
