The giant golden-crowned flying fox, also known as the golden-capped fruit bat, is a species of megabat endemic to the Philippines. Since its description in 1831, three subspecies of the giant golden-crowned flying fox have been recognized, one of which is extinct. The extinct subspecies was formerly recognized as a full species, the Panay golden-crowned flying fox. Formerly, this species was placed in the genus Pteropus; while it is no longer within the genus, it has many physical similarities to Pteropus megabats. It is one of the largest bat species in the world, weighing up to 1.4 kg (3.1 lb)—only the Indian and great flying fox can weigh more. It has the longest documented forearm length of any bat species at 21 cm (8.3 in).
Rhagonycha is a genus of soldier beetle belonging to the family Cantharidae. There are at least 140 described species recorded from Europe, North America and Japan, and thought to date from the Upper Eocene to recent periods.
Eleodes is a genus of darkling beetles, in the family Tenebrionidae. They are endemic to western North America ranging from southern Canada to central Mexico with many species found along the Mexico-United States border. Some species have been introduced to Colombia. The name pinacate is Mexican Spanish, derived from the Nahuatl (Aztec) name for the insect, pinacatl, which translates as "black beetle".
Nothodanis is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. The single species of this genus, Nothodanis schaeffera is found in the Australasian and Indomalayan realms. Subspecies

Agalmatidae, or Agalmidae, is a family of siphonophores.
Tatochila is a Neotropical genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae.
Cuninidae is a family of hydrozoans in the order Narcomedusae. They have dome-shaped bells and tentacles set above the undulating margin of the bell. Their gastric pouches contain the gonads situated in line with the tentacles, the number of pouches being the same as the number of tentacles. The pouches do not extend below the points of origin of the primary tentacles. Members of some genera have a peripheral canal system and others do not. No radial canals or secondary tentacles are present.
Anastrangalia is a genus of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Eucnemidae, or false click beetles, are a family of elateroid beetles including about 1700 species distributed worldwide.
Pectinivalva scotodes is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found in New South Wales and southern Queensland.
Beroe, commonly known as the cigar comb jellies, is a genus of comb jellies in the family Beroidae. Beroe exhibits bioluminescence.
Passalus is a genus of beetles of the family Passalidae.
The Diphyidae are a family of siphonophores. These are colonial siphonophores with two nectophores arranged one behind the other. The front one includes a somatocyst, while the hind one does not. The somatocyst often contains an oil droplet for buoyancy control. A nectosac in each nectophore allows the organism to swim efficiently.
Chiridota is a genus of sea cucumbers in the family Chiridotidae. It is an extant genus but some fossil species are known.
Aegina citrea is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Aeginidae.
Tima is a genus of hydrozoans in the family Eirenidae.
Codocera is a genus of sand-loving scarab beetles in the family Ochodaeidae. There are at least three described species in Codocera.
Hadrotettix is a genus of band-winged grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least four described species in Hadrotettix.
