| Scincella palnica (Boettger, 1892) | |
Scincella palnica is a species of skink found in India (Travancore, Anaimalai, Palni Hills, Coimbatore, and Madras Presidency).
Acinonyx is a genus within the cat family. The only living species of this genus, the cheetah A. jubatus, lives in open grasslands of Africa and Asia.
Latastia is a genus of lizards of the family Lacertidae. Species of this genus are distributed in Africa but one subspecies lives in Yemen. Collectively, they are known as long-tailed lizards.
Paul Jakob Deussen was a German Indologist and professor of Philosophy at University of Kiel. Strongly influenced by Arthur Schopenhauer, Deussen was a friend of Friedrich Nietzsche and Swami Vivekananda. In 1911, he founded the Schopenhauer Society (Schopenhauer-Gesellschaft). Professor Deussen was the first editor, in 1912, of the scholarly journal Schopenhauer Yearbook (Schopenhauer-Jahrbuch).
Ctenurella is an extinct genus of ptyctodont placoderm from the Late Devonian of Germany. The first fossils were found in the Strundevalley in the Paffrather Kalkmulde.
The two-lined ground skink is a species of skink. It is found in the Nilgiri Hills and Travancore Hills of India.
Kaestlea travancorica, also known as the Travancore ground skink or Barbour's ground skink, is a species of skink endemic to southern Western Ghats.
Sphenomorphus courcyanus is a species of skink found in Asia.
Albisaurus was once thought to be a genus of dinosaur, but is now thought to be a non-dinosaurian archosaur. It was first described by Antonin Fritsch, a Czech palaeontologist, in 1893, but the remains are sparse. The validity of the species cannot be proven based on the fossil remains, and it is usually marked as a nomen dubium. It lived during the Turonian-Santonian stages of the Cretaceous period.
Ohmdenosaurus is a genus of herbivorous dinosaur from the Lower or Middle Toarcian age of the Early Jurassic in what is now Ohmden, Germany. It is one of the earliest European sauropods. It is also one of the few sauropods described from the Toarcian of the modern Northern Hemisphere, along with Tazoudasaurus, which may be a relative. Ohmdenosaurus lived on an island series in what is now the region of Black Forest High and the Vosges Massif. Alternatively, the genus may have come from Bohemia. Its fossils were originally described as plesiosaur remains, until a revision of the holotype in 1978 identified them as sauropod fossils. It is the only dinosaur identified from the Posidonia Shale.
Puma pardoides, sometimes called the Eurasian puma or Owen's panther, is an extinct prehistoric cat. It was long regarded as a primitive species of leopard. Recent work however has shown that Panthera pardoides and Panthera schaubi are actually the same species, and are probably not pantherine at all, but a member of Felinae related to the cougar, making them more properly classified as Puma pardoides.
Manouria is a genus of tortoises in the family Testudinidae. The genus was erected by John Edward Gray in 1854.
Creatonotos is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The moths in the genus are found in the Afrotropics, South and East Asia, Sundaland and Australia.
Boettgerilla is a genus of air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Boettgerillidae.
Denazinosuchus is a genus of goniopholidid mesoeucrocodylian. Its fossils have been recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Fruitland Formation and Kirtland Formation of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico. It is the most abundant and readily identifiable mesoeucrocodylian of the San Juan Basin, mostly due to its distinctive subrectangular, flattened, and sparsely pitted bony armor. It was first described in 1932 by Carl Wiman on the basis of a skull as a species of Goniopholis, G. kirtlandicus. Spencer G. Lucas and Robert M. Sullivan redescribed the species in 2003 and gave it its own genus, Denazinosuchus. To date, Denazinosuchus is only known from skull material, armor, and a thigh bone.
Coloeus is a genus of bird that is sometimes treated as a subgenus of Corvus, including by the IUCN. It contains two relatively small species both named "jackdaws". They have a blackish crown, wings and tail, the rest of the plumage being paler. The word Coloeus is New Latin, from the Ancient Greek for jackdaws: koloiós (κολοιός).
Francosuchus is a dubious genus of probably basal phytosaur known from the Late Triassic of Bavaria, southern Germany. It was named by Oskar Kuhn in 1933 and the type species is Francosuchus broilii. In the same article Kuhn also named a second species Francosuchus latus. Both species were known solely from their holotypes, two partial skulls that were housed at the Bavarian State Collection for Palaeontogy and Geology. Both specimens were collected at Ebrach Quarry, bed number 13 from the late Carnian-aged Blasensandstein Member of the Hassberge Formation. As the holotypes were destroyed during World War II and poorly documented, Francosuchus and its species are usually considered to be nomina dubia.
Chelonides is a genus of late Jurassic turtle from marine deposits in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Buhoma is a genus of snakes in the family Lamprophiidae. The genus is endemic to Africa.
The Ciechocinek Formation is a Jurassic geologic formation which extends across the Baltic coast from Grimmen, Germany, to Nida, Lithuania, with its major sequence in Poland and boreholes in Kaliningrad. Dinosaur species uncovered here include the Thyreorporan Emausaurus and others with an unclassified genus.
Rhabdochaeta pulchella is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Rhabdochaeta of the family Tephritidae.
