Sphaeromatidae is a family of isopods, often encountered on rocky shores and in shelf waters in temperate zones. The family includes almost 100 genera and 619 known marine species. Within these genera, there are groups that share distinctive morphologies; further research may reclassify these genus-groups as separate families.
Serolidae is a family of isopod crustaceans, containing the following genera :
The Aegidae are a family of isopod crustaceans. The adults are temporary parasites of fish, feeding on their hosts' blood before dropping off to digest the meal. They differ from members of the family Cirolanidae in having only three pairs of hook-like pereiopods, whereas in Cirolanidae all seven pairs of pereiopods are hooked. The family was first described by Adam White in 1850 and contains the following genera:
Mnesarchella fusilella is a species of primitive moths in the family Mnesarchaeidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be found in the Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Hawke's Bay, Whanganui, and Wellington regions. It prefers well lit damp forests or moist fern-covered banks and lives at altitudes ranging from sea-level to approximately 500 m. Adults are on the wing from October to December. This species is normally day flying but males have been collected at night via light trapping.
Labdia anarithma is a moth of the family Cosmopterigidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1888. It is found in New Zealand and throughout Australia. Adults are on the wing from December to March and are day flying. They have been collected by sweeping bracken fern.
Blastobasis marmorosella is a moth in the family Blastobasidae. It is found on the Canary Islands, Madeira and in Portugal and Spain. This species has been accidentally introduced to Australia and New Zealand.
Aega is a genus of isopods in the family Aegidae, containing the following species:
Brucerolis is a genus of isopods in the family Serolidae, found in the Southern Ocean.
Brucerolis brandtae is a species of isopods in the family Serolidae, found in the Southern Ocean in the waters around New Zealand.
Brucerolis nowra is a species of isopods in the family Serolidae, found in marine waters off Nowra in New South Wales.
Brucerolis bromleyana is a benthic species of isopods in the family Serolidae, found in the Southern Ocean.
Phyllis Jane Fromont is a New Zealand and Australian scientist specialising in sponges.
Trachypepla importuna is a moth of the family Oecophoridae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1927. This moth is regarded as having being introduced to New Zealand and is presumed to be native to Australia. T. importuna has been collected in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. It inhabits native scrub and adults are on the wing in January and February. The placement of this species in the genus Trachypepla is regarded as being unsatisfactory and in need of revision.
Bathynomus yucatanensis is a species of aquatic crustacean, of the order Isopoda. It is a member of the giant isopods (Bathynomus), and it is related—albeit distantly—to shrimps and crabs, and more closely to woodlouse. It is the third giant isopod discovered in the Gulf of Mexico and was first mistaken for Bathynomus giganteus, to which is it closely related. It is approx. 10 inches long and 5 inches wide. The discovery was announced in August 2022.
Bathyamaryllis is a genus of amphipods belonging to the family Amaryllididae. The genus was first described in 1933 by Jean M. Pirlot, and the type species is Bathyamaryllis perezii Pirlot, 1933.
Bathyamaryllis kapala is a species of amphipod in the family Amaryllididae, and was first described in 2002 by James K. Lowry and Helen E. Stoddart.
Ariosoma kapala is an eel in the family Congridae. It was first described in 1990 by Peter H. J. Castle as Poeciloconger kapala. The holotype was collected by the New South Wales Fisheries Research Vessel Kapala on April 11, 1985, during a bottom trawl at a depth of 46-64 m. The species was named for the FRV Kapala. In 1998, Shieh-Chieh Shen moved the species to the genus Ariosoma.
Leptanthura is a genus of isopod crustaceans in the family Leptanthuridae. It was first described in 1897 by Georg Ossian Sars and the type species is Paranthura tenuis. It is found in coastal waters throughout the world, and contains the following species:
Buccipagoda is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks. It was first described in 1982 under the name Kapala by Winston Ponder with the name honouring the FRV Kapala, but the genus name had already been used. Hence, a replacement name was needed and given in 2010. The type species is Buccipagoda kengrahami, formerly Kapala kengrahami.
Rocinela is a genus of isopods in the family Aegidae, and was first described in 1818 by William Elford Leach. The type species is Rocinela danmoniensis Leach, 1818.
