Psenes is a genus of driftfishes native to the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
There are currently five recognized species in this genus: [2]
The family Agaonidae is a group of pollinating and nonpollinating fig wasps. They spend their larval stage inside the fruits of figs. The pollinating wasps are the mutualistic partners of the fig trees. The nonpollinating fig wasps are parasitic. Extinct forms from the Eocene and Miocene are nearly identical to modern forms, suggesting that the niche has been stable over geologic time.
Ischnocnema is a genus of frogs from eastern Brazil and north-eastern Argentina. They comprise the former Eleutherodactylus from this region, but they are closer to Brachycephalus than the "true" Eleutherodactylus. Consequently, they are now placed in their own genus Ischnocnema in the family Brachycephalidae.
Oreobates is a frog genus of in the family Craugastoridae. Most species were formerly in the genus Ischnocnema, but were moved to this revalidated genus following a 2006 revision. Its sister taxon is Lynchius.
Psenes pellucidus, the bluefin driftfish, is a species of driftfish native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans where it is found in deep waters to a depth of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). It can reach a length of 80 centimetres (31 in) TL. This species is commercially important.
Johannes Theodor Reinhardt was a Danish zoologist and herpetologist. The son of Johannes Christopher Hagemann Reinhardt.
Hemipsilichthys is a genus of catfishes belonging to the family Loricariidae. These wide-mouthed freshwater catfishes are restricted to southeast Brazil in the Paraíba do Sul, Perequê-Áçu and Taquari river basins. Hemipsilichthys, along with Delturus, form a clade (Delturinae). In these two genera, members have a ridge behind their dorsal fin and an adipose fin membrane. However, in Hemipsilichthys, the dorsal fin membrane and most anterior plate of the adipose fin do not touch, while they do in Delturus.
Isorineloricaria is a genus of catfish in the family Loricariidae from northwestern South America. They live in rivers and streams, typically with slow to moderately running water, in the Orinoco, Maracaibo, Magdalena and Guayas basins. The largest species in the genus reaches up to 52 cm (20 in) in standard length.
Cubiceps is a genus of driftfishes found circumglobally.
Chthonerpeton is a genus of semiaquatic amphibians in the family Typhlonectidae. They occur in South America east of the Andes.
Crossodactylus is a genus of frogs in the family Hylodidae. The genus occurs in Brazil, southern Paraguay, and northern Argentina. These frogs are sometimes known as Limnocharis, Tarsopterus, Calamobates, and spinythumb frogs. They typically inhabit streams in mountainous areas in the Atlantic Forest or in montane savanna.
Odontophrynus is a genus of frogs in the family Odontophrynidae. They are found in southern and eastern South America. They are sometimes known as the escuerzos.
Myctophum is a genus of lanternfishes, some species of which, such as M. punctatum are noted for having the Stylophthalmine trait in their larval form.
Ariomma is a genus of deepwater, marine perciform fishes. Members of this genus are found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Several members of this genus are of commercial importance as food fish. This genus is currently the only known genus in its family.
Ophioderma is a genus of brittle stars in the family Ophiodermatiidae.
Christian Frederik Lütken, was a Danish zoologist and naturalist.
Hygophum is a genus of lanternfishes.
Selene is a genus of carangids, commonly known as lookdowns and moonfishes, native to the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Icichthys is a genus of medusafishes that are native to the eastern Indian Ocean and the northern Pacific Ocean.
Schistonchus caprifici is a plant parasitic nematode in the genus Schistonchus parasitizing the caprifig. It is found in Spain and Italy.
