Phoxichilidium is a genus of sea spiders within the family Phoxichilidiidae. [1] [2] Members of this genus can be found in all oceans at depths up to 1074 meters. [3]
Henri Milne-Edwards was a French zoologist.
Xanthidae is a family of crabs known as gorilla crabs, mud crabs, pebble crabs or rubble crabs. Xanthid crabs are often brightly coloured and are highly poisonous, containing toxins which are not destroyed by cooking and for which no antidote is known. The toxins are similar to the tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin produced by puffer fish, and may be produced by bacteria in the genus Vibrio living in symbiosis with the crabs, mostly V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus.
Siphonostomatoida is an order of copepods, containing around 75% of all the copepods that parasitise fishes. Their success has been linked to their possession of siphon-like mandibles and of a "frontal filament" to aid attachment to their hosts. Most are marine, but a few live in fresh water. There are 40 recognised families:
Colossendeidae is a family of sea spiders. This family includes more than 100 species distributed among six genera. These sea spiders inhabit the deep sea mostly but are also found in shallower waters, especially in Antarctic and Arctic waters.
Hedgpethia is a genus of sea spider, in the family Colossendeidae. The genus was named after the marine biologist and sea spider specialist Joel Hedgpeth.
Orchestia is a genus of amphipods in the family Talitridae. Species in Orchestia are parasitized by the Filozoan species Txikispora philomaios.
Palaemon is a genus of caridean shrimp in the family Palaemonidae.
Bellorchestia quoyana is the largest and most common species of sandhopper endemic to New Zealand. It was originally described as Orchestia quoyana in 1840 by French zoologist Henri Milne-Edwards and transferred to the genus Bellorchestia in 2008. Its length is up to 29 millimetres (1.1 in). They help to keep the beaches clean by breaking down any organic material, which is vital for plant succession. They are nocturnal and bury themselves up to 30 centimetres (12 in) during the day.
Blepharipoda is a genus of mole crabs, containing the following species:
Nymphon is a genus of sea spiders in the family Nymphonidae. The species of sea spiders within the genus Nymphon are all benthic organisms and are found in abyssal and bathyal areas of the ocean. This is a fully marine group and can be found at various depths ranging from the littoral zones to the deep sea. They are found in most major oceans across the globe with a strong distribution around polar regions: Arctic and Antarctic waters. Out of the sea spider genus, Nymphon is the most rich, with a majority of the species within the genis being found in the Southern Ocean region. This genus may also contain bioluminescent species.
Pycnogonum is a genus of sea spiders in the family Pycnogonidae. It is the type genus of the family.
Achelia is a genus of pycnogonids in the family Ammotheidae.
Tanystylum is a genus of pycnogonids in the family Ammotheidae.
Colossendeis is a genus of sea spider belonging to the family Colossendeidae. Phylogenetic analysis based on molecular data indicates that this genus is paraphyletic with respect to the genera Decolopoda and Dodecolopoda, which are found to be nested within the genus Colossendeis in a phylogenetic tree.
Callipallene is a genus of sea spiders in the family Callipallenidae. There are more than 30 described species in Callipallene.
Heterocyathus is a genus of coral of the family Caryophylliidae.
Coenocyathus is a genus of cnidarians belonging to the family Caryophylliidae.
Phallocryptus spinosus, the halophilic fairy shrimp, is a species of fairy shrimp within the family Thamnocephalidae. The species of previously recorded from a shallow salty pond in Tabriz, occurring in the same area as Branchinecta orientalis. More locations were reported in similar habitats in central and south Iran from Bafq and Lar, and a 4th population was found 200 kilometers south to the original locality.
Dolicholana is a genus of isopod crustaceans. which was first described by Niel L. Bruce in 1986. The type species is Cirolana elongata Milne Edwards, 1840.
