The moonfish of the genus Mene, the sole extant genus of the family Menidae, are disk-shaped fish which bear a vague resemblance to gourami, thanks to their lateral compression and thread-like pelvic fins. Today, the genus is represented only by Mene maculata of the Indo-Pacific, where it is a popular food fish, especially in the Philippines, where it is known as bilong-bilong, chabita, hiwas or tahas.

Paraponera is a genus of ants and the only genus in the subfamily Paraponerinae. The name means "near-Ponera".

Retropluma is a genus of heterotrematan crabs belonging to the family Retroplumidae. The extant species survive in the deep sea of the Indo-Pacific region.
