Rudolphia is a monotypic genus of amphipods in the family Paraleptamphopidae found in Chile. [1] The only species is Rudolphia macrodactylus. [2]
Amphipoda is an order of malacostracan crustaceans with no carapace and generally with laterally compressed bodies. Amphipods range in size from 1 to 340 millimetres and are mostly detritivores or scavengers. There are more than 9,900 amphipod species so far described. They are mostly marine animals, but are found in almost all aquatic environments. Some 1,900 species live in fresh water, and the order also includes the terrestrial sandhoppers such as Talitrus saltator and Arcitalitrus sylvaticus.
The Pantanal is a natural region encompassing the world's largest tropical wetland area, and the world's largest flooded grasslands. It is located mostly within the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, but it extends into Mato Grosso and portions of Bolivia and Paraguay. It sprawls over an area estimated at between 140,000 and 195,000 km2. Various subregional ecosystems exist, each with distinct hydrological, geological, and ecological characteristics; up to 12 of them have been defined.
The Central-West or Center-West Region of Brazil is composed of the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul; along with Distrito Federal, where Brazil's national capital, Brasília, is situated. The region comprises 18.86% of the national territory, and is the least populated in Brazil.
Corophiida is an infraorder of amphipods that contains the two parvorders Caprellidira and Corophiidira.
The Hyperiidea are a suborder of amphipods, small aquatic crustaceans. Unlike the other suborders of Amphipoda, hyperiids are exclusively marine and do not occur in fresh water. Hyperiids are distinguished by their large eyes and planktonic habitat. Most species of hyperiids are parasites or predators of salps and jellyfish in the plankton, although Themisto gaudichaudii and a few relatives are free-swimming predators of copepods and other small planktonic animals.

Paraleptamphopus is a genus of amphipods in the family Paraleptamphopidae endemic to New Zealand. The first species to be described was Calliope subterraneus which was named by Charles Chilton in 1882. George M. Thomson described a second species in 1885, as Pherusa coerulea. Although no other species have yet been formally described, it is thought that many more undescribed species exist.
The eastern long-fingered bat, or big-footed myotis is a species of vesper bat found in China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia. Roosting in caves and rock crevices during the day, it forages at night for insects near rivers and streams.
The large wren-babbler is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is found in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Java. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Bogidiella is a genus of crustacean in the family Bogidiellidae, containing the following species:
Hyalella is a genus of amphipods found in the Americas. They are mainly found in freshwater habitats.
Paraleptamphopidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans, containing three genera. Paraleptamphopus and Ringanui are both endemic to New Zealand, but Rudolphia lives in Chile.
Bogidiellidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans, containing the following genera:
Senticaudata is one of the four suborders of the crustacean order Amphipoda. It includes some 5000 species, which is more than 50% of the currently recognized amphipod diversity.
Macrodactylus uniformis, the western rose chafer, is a species of May beetle or junebug in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Macrodactylus, known as rose chafers, are a genus in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least 110 described species in Macrodactylus.
Palaemon macrodactylus is a species of shrimp of the family Palaemonidae.
Pseudamphithoides incurvaria is a species of amphipod crustacean in the family Ampithoidae. It is native to shallow water in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean where it creates a home for itself from fragments of the algae on which it feeds. This seaweed contains certain chemicals that are distasteful and protect it from predatory fish.
