Xenocytaea daviesae is a jumping spider.
Named in honor of Valerie Todd Davies, a Salticid specialist from Queensland Museum, Australia.
Xenocytaea daviesae males are about 3 mm long, with females slightly more than 4 mm.
Libocedrus is a genus of five species of coniferous trees in the cypress family Cupressaceae, native to New Zealand and New Caledonia. The genus is closely related to the South American genera Pilgerodendron and Austrocedrus, and the New Guinean genus Papuacedrus, both of which are included within Libocedrus by some botanists. These genera are rather similar to the Northern Hemisphere genera Calocedrus and Thuja: in earlier days, what is now Calocedrus was sometimes included in Libocedrus. They are much less closely related, as recently confirmed. The generic name means "teardrop cedar", apparently referring to drops of resin.
Megalyroidea is a small hymenopteran superfamily that includes a single family, Megalyridae, with eight extant genera and 49 described species. Modern megalyrids are found primarily in the southern hemisphere, though fossils have only been found in the northern hemisphere. The most abundant and species-rich megalyrid fauna is in Australia. Another peak of diversity appears to be in the relict forests of Madagascar, but most of these species are still undescribed.
Xenocytaea is a genus of spiders in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders).
Xenocytaea triramosa is a jumping spider.
Xenocytaea zabkai is a jumping spider.
Xenocytaea maddisoni is a jumping spider.
Xenocytaea anomala is a jumping spider.
Gradungulidae, also known as large-clawed spiders, is a spider family endemic to Australia and New Zealand. They are medium to large-sized haplogyne spiders with three claws and two pairs of book-lungs similar to Mygalomorphae. Some species build extensive webs with an upper retreat tangle and connecting threads to scaffolding. This supports the ladder-like catching platform that is glued to the ground. Progradungula, a large spider with long legs like Hickmania, and Macrogradungula are the only cribellate genera of the family.
Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, cosmopolitan family of true flies with more than 7,000 described species in about 230 genera. The genus Dolichopus is the most speciose, with some 600 species.
The Platystomatidae are a distinctive family of flies (Diptera) in the superfamily Tephritoidea.
The Chromodorididae, or chromodorids, are a taxonomic family of colourful, sea slugs; dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Doridoidea. “Chromodorid nudibranchs are among the most gorgeously coloured of all animals.” The over 360 described species are primarily found in tropical and subtropical waters, as members of coral reef communities, specifically associated with their sponge prey. The chromodorids are the most speciose family of opisthobranchs. They range in size from <10mm to over 30 cm, although most species are approximately 15–30 mm in size.
Davies' tree frog is a species of frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and rivers. It is currently threatened by habitat loss.
Euophryini is a tribe of jumping spiders. It has also been treated as the subfamily Euophryinae.
Borsoniidae is a monophyletic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.
Passandridae, the "parasitic flat bark beetles," are a family of beetles notable for being one of the very few beetle families with larvae that are, as far as known, exclusively ectoparasitic on the immature stages of other beetles and Hymenoptera.
Clambidae is a family of beetles. They are known commonly as the minute beetles or the fringe-winged beetles. They are found worldwide on every continent except Antarctica.
Urogelides is a monotypic genus of jumping spiders containing the single species, Urogelides daviesae. It was first described by Marek Michał Żabka in 2009, and is found in Queensland.
Xenocytaea taveuniensis is a jumping spider species in the genus Xenocytaea. It was first identified in 2011 by Barbara Maria Patoleta.
Xenocytaea victoriensis is a jumping spider species in the genus Xenocytaea. It was first identified in 2011 by Barbara Maria Patoleta.
Xenocytaea vonavonensis is a jumping spider species in the genus Xenocytaea. The male was first identified in 2011 by Barbara Maria Patoleta. The female has not been described.
