Pygospio elegans is a species of marine polychaete worms in the family Spionidae. It is found in Western Europe (France, Belgium, and The Netherlands).
Spionidae is a family of marine worms within the Polychaeta. Spionids are selective deposit feeders that use their two grooved palps to locate prey. However, some spionids are capable of interface feeding, i.e. switching between deposit and suspension feeding.
Caenorhabditis brenneri is a small nematode, closely related to the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Its genome is being sequenced by Washington University in St. Louis Genome Sequencing Center. This species has previously been referred to as C. sp 4 and Caenorhabditis sp. CB5161, but was recently formally described and given its scientific name. This name is in honor of Sydney Brenner, recognizing his pioneering role in starting active research in the field of C. elegans biology and development.
Pseudotropheus elegans is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi. This species can reach a length of 13.2 centimetres (5.2 in) SL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.
Compsocidae is a family of Psocoptera belonging to the suborder Troctomorpha. The family comprises two extant species in two genera, both found in Mesoamerica. Compsocus elegans is found in Mexico and Central America, while Electrentomopsis variegata is found in Mexico. The antennae of each species have 13 or 14 segments. Two extinct genera, Burmacompsocus and Paraelectrentomopsis are known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber of Myanmar.
Ateleopus is a genus of ray-finned fish in the jellynose family Ateleopodidae. It is the type genus of its family, and the order Ateleopodiformes. For some time, it was known as Podateles, because Ateleopus had been used to replace the frog genus name Atelopus, which was deemed to be a spelling error. This was mistaken, however, and the fish and frog genera reverted to their original names.
Inquisitor elegans is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies.
Allogalathea elegans is a species of squat lobster that is sometimes kept in marine aquariums. Despite their common name, they are more closely related to hermit crabs than lobsters.
The Brazilian gold frog, also known as Izecksohn's toad or flea-frog, is a very small species of frogs in the family Brachycephalidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil and is known from the central part of the state of Rio de Janeiro and from Serra das Torres in extreme southern Espírito Santo.
Calliscelio is a parasitoid wasp monotypic genus which contains one species, C. elegans. It was first described as Caloteleia elegans on Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands in 1910 by British entomologist Robert Cyril Layton Perkins, who believed it not to be an indigenous species of Hawaii. Its pantropical species distribution is now well-established and it is still considered to be an adventive species in Hawaii. C. elegans was reassigned from its original genus to Caenoteleia in 1926 by French entomologist Jean-Jacques Kieffer and then to Calliscelio in 2009.
Callomyia elegans is a species of fly in the genus Callomyia found in Europe.
Paropsimorpha elegans is a species of leaf beetle found in Australia.
Coleophora elegans is a species of moth in the family Coleophoridae. It is found in South Africa, where it has been recorded from the Western Cape and Northern Cape. The type locality is Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve.
Taibaishanus is a monotypic genus of East Asian sheet weavers containing the single species, Taibaishanus elegans. It was first described by A. V. Tanasevitch in 2006, and has only been found in China.
Kyphosus elegans, the Cortez sea chub or Cortez chub, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a sea chub from the family Kyphosidae. It is found in the eastern Pacific Ocean where it is of minor importance to commercial fisheries.
Pygospio is a genus of marine polychaete worms in the family Spionidae.
Balgus is a genus of click beetle. They are one of several genera in the family which contain at least one bioluminescent species. The genus was originally placed in the family Eucnemidae, later transferred to Throscidae, but recent classifications establish them firmly within Elateridae.
Capoeta anamisensis is a species of cyprinid in the genus Capoeta, native to Iran.
Oedura picta, the ornate velvet gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to Queensland in Australia. It, along with two other species, was first formally named in 2019.
Oedura lineata, the Arcadia velvet gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to Queensland in Australia. It, along with two other species, was first formally named in 2019.
Oedura elegans, the elegant velvet gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. It, along with two other species, was first formally named in 2019.
