Proparholaspulus suzukii is a species of mite in the family Parholaspididae. [1]
The Drosophilidae are a diverse, cosmopolitan family of flies, which includes fruit flies. Another unrelated family of flies, Tephritidae, also includes species known as "small fruit flies". The best known species of the Drosophilidae is Drosophila melanogaster, within the genus Drosophila, and this species is used extensively for studies concerning genetics, development, physiology, ecology and behaviour. This fruit fly is mostly composed of post-mitotic cells, has a very short lifespan, and shows gradual aging. As in other species, temperature influences the life history of the animal. Several genes have been identified that can be manipulated to extend the lifespan of these insects. Additionally, Drosophila subobscura, also within the genus Drosophila, has been reputed as a model organism for evolutionary-biological studies.
The Drosophila melanogaster species group belongs to the subgenus Sophophora and contains 10 subgroups. The phylogeny in this species group is poorly known despite many studies covering many of the species subgroups. The most likely explanation is that the various subgroups diverged from each other in a relatively short evolutionary time frame. Three subgroups have not yet been investigated in molecular studies, and their position in the phylogeny is unclear. The suzukii subgroup is paraphyletic as D. lucipennis is systematically placed within the elegans subgroup.
Futabasaurus is a genus of plesiosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Fukushima, Japan. It was described and named in 2006, and was assigned to the family Elasmosauridae. The genus contains one species, F. suzukii.
Franklinothrips is a genus of thrips with pantropical distribution.
Iratsume is a monotypic butterfly genus in the family Lycaenidae. Its single species is Iratsume orsedice.

Pertya is a genus of Asian flowering plants in the daisy family (Asteraceae).
Drosophila suzukii, commonly called the spotted wing drosophila or SWD, is a fruit fly. D. suzukii, originally from southeast Asia, is becoming a major pest species in America and Europe, because it infests fruit early during the ripening stage, in contrast with other Drosophila species that infest only rotting fruit.
Zeiraphera is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Olethreutinae of the family Tortricidae.

Himalphalangium is a genus of harvestmen in the family Phalangiidae.
Homolophus is a genus of harvestmen in the family Phalangiidae.
Spilarctia seriatopunctata is a moth in the family Erebidae. It was described by Victor Motschulsky in 1861. It is found in Russia, China, Korea and Japan.
Leptopilina is a genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Figitidae. The genus is best known for the three Drosophila parasitoids Leptopilina boulardi, Leptopilina heterotoma and Leptopilina clavipes, used to study host-parasite immune interactions. The venom released by L. heterotoma during oviposition contains virus-like particles that delay host larval development and suppress the host cellular immune response. There is no evidence that these virus-like particles are the products of viral DNA as described in other parasitoid taxa.
Kuzicus is a genus of Asian bush crickets belonging to the tribe Meconematini: in the subfamily Meconematinae.
Rabaulichthys is a genus of fish in the family Serranidae with four species, ranging sizes from 6 to 6.4 cm long, all of which are found in areas including the Western Central Pacific, Western Pacific, Northwest Pacific, and Western Indian Ocean.
