Taxa described in 1870

Chlorocebus is a genus of medium-sized primates from the family of Old World monkeys. Six species are currently recognized, although some people classify them all as a single species with numerous subspecies. Either way, they make up the entirety of the genus Chlorocebus.

Sclerotinia is a genus of fungi in the family Sclerotiniaceae. The widely distributed genus contains 14 species.

Diaporthe is a genus of endophytic filamentous fungal plant pathogens.

Aleuria is a genus of cup fungi within the phylum Ascomycota. The best known species is Orange peel fungus, A. aurantia.

thumb | right | Cogia cajeta (Herrich-Schäffer, 1869) Cogia is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).

Typhedanus is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).

Leodonta is a Neotropical genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae.

Perodicticinae is a subfamily of the family Lorisidae. It includes five species of African primates as shown under taxonomy below.

Udranomia is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae, in which it is placed in tribe Entheini. It was established in 1870 by Arthur Gardiner Butler.

Parashorea is a genus of plant in family Dipterocarpaceae. The name Parashorea is derived from Greek (para = similar to) and refers to the genus similarity to Shorea. It contains about 14 species distributed from South Myanmar, Thailand, Indo-China and the southernmost parts of China to Sumatra, Borneo and the Philippines.

Nepheronia, commonly called vagrants, is a genus of butterflies of the subfamily Pierinae endemic to Africa. For other vagrants, see the genus Eronia.

Catasticta is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Pieridae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1870.

Pellicia is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.

Ciboria is a genus of fungi in the family Sclerotiniaceae. The widespread genus, which currently contains about 21 species, was circumscribed by the German botanist Karl Fuckel in 1870.

Leptophobia is a Neotropical genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae.

The Pyrenulaceae are a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi in the order Pyrenulales, though a few members are secondarily non-lichenized. They form thin crusts on bark and, less often, on rock, and partner with species from the green algal genus Trentepohlia. The family is characterized by flask-shaped fruiting bodies (perithecia) that typically open through a pore, and by ascospores whose internal walls form distinctive rounded to diamond-shaped chambers. The number of accepted genera varies among sources—recent phylogenetic treatments have sampled about 13, while broader taxonomic outlines

Amphoriscus is a genus of calcareous sponges in the family Amphoriscidae.

Cordulephya is a genus of dragonflies in the family Austrocorduliidae, endemic to eastern Australia. Species are small to tiny, black or purplish-black with yellowish markings. Unusually for Anisoptera, they rest with their wings folded above the body, similar to some damselflies. They are commonly known as shutwings.

Pseudopontia is a genus of butterflies found only in wet forests of tropical Africa. It is the only genus in the subfamily Pseudopontiinae. It was traditionally thought to contain only one species (monotypic), Pseudopontia paradoxa. However, a recent study showed there are at least five species of Pseudopontia which can be distinguished genetically and by details of wing veins. Each is found primarily in a different part of Africa, though several of the species have overlapping geographic distributions.

Synaptolepis is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Thymelaeaceae.

Cladia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Cladoniaceae. Cladia species have a crustose or (scaly) primary thallus and a fruticose, secondary thallus, often referred to as pseudopodetium. The type species of the genus, Cladia aggregata, is widely distributed, occurring in South America, South Africa, Australasia and South-East Asia to southern Japan and India. Most of the other species are found in the Southern Hemisphere.
