Tibitin is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Species within the genus Tibitin include: [1]
Ascidia is a genus of tunicates in the family Ascidiidae.
Pyura is a large genus of sessile ascidians that live in coastal waters at depths of up to 80 m (260 feet). Like all ascidians, Pyura are filter feeders. A few species, including Pyura chilensis are commercially fished.
Didemnum is a genus of colonial tunicates in the family Didemnidae. It is the most speciose genus in the didemnid family. Species in this genus often have small calcareous spicules embedded in the tunic and form irregular or lobed colonies. Some Didemnum species, including Didemnum vexillum and Didemnum perlucidem are considered invasive species. In early 2006, Didemnum vexillum was found covering a 230 km2 area of cobble habitat in Georges Bank off the coast of New England, and is classified as an invasive species of greatest concern in coastal areas throughout Europe, New Zealand, and North America. Didemnum sp. invasions have also been recorded in Canada, the Mediterranean, and the Netherlands.
Eusynstyela is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Stolidobranchia is an order of tunicates in the class Ascidiacea. The group includes both colonial and solitary animals. They are distinguished from other tunicates by the presence of folded pharyngeal baskets. This provides the etymology of their name: in ancient Greek, στολίς, ίδος means the "fold" of a cloth. Stolidobranchian sea squirts are also characterized by the complete absence of an abdomen. The abdominal organs of other tunicates are instead located to one side of the pharyngeal basket in this group.
Aplidium is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae. There are about 188 species in the genus found in shallow waters around the world.
Polycarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Styelidae is a family of ascidian tunicates.
Polyclinum is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae.
Synoicum is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae.
Aplidiopsis is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae.
Bathystyeloides is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Dicarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Metandrocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Monandrocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Lissoclinum is a genus of tunicates.
Euherdmannia is a genus of tunicates. It is the only genus in the family Euherdmaniidae in the order Aplousobranchia.
Leptoclinides is a genus of tunicates belonging to the family Didemnidae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Trididemnum is a genus of tunicates belonging to the family Didemnidae.
Diplosoma is a genus of tunicates belonging to the family Didemnidae.
