Tracheloptychus petersi, commonly known as Peters's keeled cordylid, is a species of lizard in the family Gerrhosauridae. The species is found in Madagascar. [2]
Tracheloptychus is a small genus of lizards in the family Gerrhosauridae. The genus is endemic to Madagascar.
The Indian eyed turtle is a species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae. The species is endemic to South Asia.
The black and rufous elephant shrew, the black and rufous sengi, or the Zanj elephant shrew is one of the 17 species of elephant shrew found only in Africa. It is native to the lowland montane and dense forests of Kenya and Tanzania. Like other members of the genus Rhynchocyon, it is a relatively large species, with adults averaging about 28 cm (11 in) in length and 450–700 g (16–25 oz) in weight.
The Peters's pipistrelle is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
The Peru poison frog, also known as Peruvian poison frog, Peruvian poison-arrow frog and emerald poison frog, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found in eastern Peru and western Brazil. Its natural habitats are primary premontane and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes.
Engystomops petersi is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in Amazonian Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It is morphologically similar to its sibling species, Engystomops freibergi, and for a period the latter was considered to be a junior synonym of Engystomops petersi. Taxonomy and classification of this species is constantly changing due to the continual evolution of behavioral isolation and rapid speciation in the region. There are also records from the Guianas that have not yet been allocated to either species. Divergence of these two species seems to have been driven by behavioural isolation related to male call characteristics more than geographic isolation.
The Venezuelan tyrannulet is a species of passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in northern Venezuela.
The Madagascar girdled lizard or Madagascar plated lizard is a species of lizard in the family Gerrhosauridae. It is found in Madagascar, some outlying islands and the Seychelles (Cosmoledo). This generally common lizard is found in a range of habitat types, including open and degraded humid forest at mid and low altitudes. It also occurs in plantations. On Cosmoledo, it occurs in open shrubland. This oviparous lizard grows to 30 cm (12 in) total length.

Falsistrellus is a genus of vespertilionid family of bats, small predatory flying mammals. They are known from Australia. The poorly researched species have been variously placed by authors, and revised again by studies of their distinct characteristics, consequently the falsistrelles may also be referred to as pipistrelles or false pipstrelles.
James Arthur Peters was an American herpetologists and zoogeographer.
Enchelyurus petersi is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian Ocean, in the Red Sea. This species grows to a length of 5.4 centimetres (2.1 in) SL. The specific name honours the German naturalist and explorer Wilhelm Peters (1815-1883) who named the genus Enchelyurus for the similar species E. flavipes in 1868.
