Tripneustes
Tripneustes is a genus of sea urchins belonging to the family Toxopneustidae.
Aramus
genus of birds
Chrysemys
Chrysemys is a genus of turtles in the family Emydidae. They are found throughout most of North America. The species in the genus include the painted and the southern painted turtles. ==Reproduction== Chrysemys have temperature dependent sex determination. During egg incubation, lower temperatures produce males while higher temperatures produce females.
Aeneator
genus of molluscs
Diplogasteridae
Diplogastridae, formerly Diplogasteridae, are a family of nematodes (roundworms) known from a wide range of habitats, often in commensal or parasitic associations with insects.

Tragelaphini
The tribe Tragelaphini (referred to by some authors as "Strepsicerotini"), or the spiral-horned antelopes, are bovines that are endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. These include the bushbucks, kudus, and the elands. The scientific name is in reference to the mythical creature the tragelaph, a Chimera with the body of a stag and the head of a goat. They are medium-to-large, tall, long-legged antelopes characterized by their twisted horns and striking pelage coloration patterns (most common is the distinctive white, vertical barring).
Penion
Penion is a genus of large marine snails, commonly known as siphon whelks, classified within the mollusc family Austrosiphonidae.
Microporellidae
The Microporellidae is a family within the bryozoan order Cheilostomatida.

subtribe of cattle
Eutamias
Eutamias is a genus of chipmunks within the tribe Marmotini of the squirrel family. It includes a single living species, the Siberian chipmunk (Eutamias sibiricus). The genus is often treated as a subgenus of Tamias, which is now restricted to the eastern chipmunk of North America. Neotamias, which now includes the western North American chipmunks, has also been included in Eutamias.
Craspedochiton
Craspedochiton is a genus of chitons in the family Acanthochitonidae, endemic to New Zealand, the Philippines and Australia.
Spirorbis
Spirorbis is a genus of very small () polychaete worms, usually with a white coiled shell. Members of the genus live in the lower littoral and sublittoral zones of rocky shores. Spirorbis worms usually live attached to seaweeds, but some species live directly on rocks, shells or other hard substrates. Spirorbis was once thought to have a fossil record extending back into the Early Paleozoic, but now all pre-Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) spirorbins are known to be microconchids. The earliest members of genus appeared in the Miocene, but Oligocene finds may also be possible. The genus contains the
Lissotesta
Lissotesta is a genus of minute sea snails or micromolluscs, marine gastropod molluscs, unassigned in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.
Dolichotinae
subfamily of rodents
Leucozonia
Leucozonia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Fasciolariidae, the spindle snails, the tulip snails and their allies.
Glaphyrina
Glaphyrina is a genus of large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusc in the family Fasciolariidae.
Chelonibia
Chelonibia is a genus of acorn barnacles in the family Chelonibiidae of the subphylum Crustacea. Its members are epizootic and live attached to manatees, turtles, marine molluscs, crabs and horseshoe crabs in all tropical and subtropical oceans. In a few instances, they have been found on sea snakes, alligators and inanimate substrates, but they are not found in the typical habitats of barnacles – on rocks, docks or boats.
Micrelenchus
Micrelenchus is a genus of small sea snails that have shells with pearly interiors and an operculum. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Cantharidinae of the family Trochidae, the top snails or top shells.
