Taxa described in 1881

Colubridae (, commonly known as colubrids , from , 'snake') is a family of snakes. With 249 genera, it is the largest snake family. The earliest fossil species of the family date back to the Late Eocene epoch, with earlier origins suspected. Colubrid snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica.

The Sarcolaenaceae are a family of flowering plants endemic to Madagascar. The family includes 79 species of mostly evergreen trees and shrubs in ten genera.

Warmingia is a genus of orchids. It includes four species from the tropical Americas, native to Costa Rica, Colombia and Ecuador, and northeastern Brazil to Bolivia and northeastern Argentina.

Fomitopsis is a genus of more than 40 species of bracket fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae.

Hypogymnia is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. They are commonly known as tube lichens, bone lichens, or pillow lichens. Most species lack rhizines (root-like attachment organs on the lower surface) that are otherwise common in members of the Parmeliaceae, and have swollen lobes that are usually hollow. Other common characteristics are relatively small spores and the presence of physodic acid and related lichen products. The lichens usually grow on the bark and wood of coniferous trees.

Hasora, the awls, are a genus of skipper butterflies. Hasora species are found in the Indomalayan and Australasian realms. There are cryptic species in this genus.Genitalia analysis is the only reliable method for identification as many species are externally almost identical.

Climacodon is a widespread genus of tooth fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae.

Neolecta is a genus of ascomycetous fungi. The species share the English designation "Earth tongues" along with some better-known fungi (e.g. Geoglossum, Microglossum) with a similar general form, but in fact they are only distantly related.

Tyromyces is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by mycologist Petter Karsten in 1881. The type species is the widely distributed Tyromyces chioneus, commonly known as the white cheese polypore. The phylogenetic position of Tyromyces within the Polyporales is uncertain, but it appears that it does not belong to the "core polyporoid clade". Tyromyces is polyphyletic as it is currently circumscribed, and has been described as "a dumping place for monomitic white-rot species with thin-walled spores."

Bibasis, the awlets, are a genus of mostly-diurnal skipper butterflies. The genus is confined to the Indomalayan realm. Vane-Wright and de Jong (2003) state that Bibasis contains just three diurnal species (B. aquilina, B. iluska, B. sena), the remainder having been removed to Burara. Hideyuki Chiba's 2009 revision of subfamily Coeliadinae retained those three and added B. mahintha as a fourth species.

Parnara is a genus of butterflies in the family Hesperiidae, the skippers. They are native to Asia, Africa and Australia.

Thelechoris is a genus of East African spiders in the family Ischnothelidae, with two species. It was first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1881.

Pycnoporus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. This genus is distinguished from most other polypores because of its brilliant red-orange color. Modern mycology recognizes five distinct species of Pycnoporus: the type P. cinnabarinus, P. coccineus, P. palibini, P. puniceus, and P. sanguineus. These species are divided somewhat by morphology, biogeography, and DNA sequence.

Gangara is an Indomalayan genus of grass skippers in the family Hesperiidae.

Piptoporus is a genus of bracket fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae.

Baoris is a genus of grass skippers in the family Hesperiidae.It is found in the Indomalayan realm

Telicota is a genus of grass skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae. It is a tropical Asian genus, shared between the Indomalayan realm and the Australasian realm, and ranging from Sri Lanka to Australia and New Guinea. Larval foodplants include Palmae and Gramineae - Miscanthus sinensis, Pennisetum purpureum, Oryza sativa (rice), Saccharum officinarum (sugar cane), Imperata cylindrica (lalang grass), Cocos nucifera (coconut) and Calamus (rattan). The species, all look very similar to each other and are often only reliably identifiable through the examination of the male genitalia.

Suastus, whose members are called palm bobs, is a genus of grass skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.

Joppeicus paradoxus is a predatory heteropteran bug and the only member of the genus Joppeicus and the family Joppeicidae. Adults are ~3 mm long.

Hapalopilus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is widely distributed. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ("tender") and ("cap"). Hapalopilus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1881.

Coleotrype is a genus of perennial monocotyledonous flowering plants in the dayflower family. It is found in Africa and Madagascar.

Cotylidia is a fungal genus characterized by small to moderately sized, white to palely yet brightly colored, stalked, fan-shaped to funnel-shaped fruit bodies [https://web.archive.org/web/20070821184454/http://www.fungaljungal.org/family_pages/Cotylidia.htm with a smooth to wrinkled hymenium, tissues composed of monomitic hyphae, basidia producing smooth, nonamyloid spores, the absence of clamp connections, and bearing projecting cylindrical, thin-walled, hymenial cystidia. The genus is classified in the Hymenochaetales, however the type species, C. undulata has not yet been sequenced. P

Gyalectidium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. Established in 1881 by Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis, the genus comprises about 50 species of predominantly leaf-dwelling lichens that form small, pale greenish to whitish-grey patches typically only a few millimetres across. Members are characterised by specialised asexual reproductive structures called , which are small scale-like outgrowths that produce propagules containing both fungal and algal partners, and by fruiting bodies that contain single, large, multi-chambered ascospores. The genus has

Hyarotis is a genus of grass skippers in the family Hesperiidae.It is found in the Indomalayan realm

Euopsis is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Harpidiaceae. The genus contains two species. The genus was established in 1881 by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander, who transferred species from the genus Pyrenopsis based on differences in their reproductive structures. These lichens form dark reddish-brown crusts that become jelly-like when wet and grow primarily on damp, acidic rock faces and mossy surfaces.

Rhytidhysteron is a genus of fungi in the family Patellariaceae. It has 21 species.

Gigantione is a genus of isopod crustaceans, in the family Bopyridae. Members of this genus are parasitic to other crustaceans like Eiconaxius, Atergatis floridus, Carpilius convexus, and other species.

Haplorhus is a genus of plants in the family Anacardiaceae. Haplorhus peruviana is the only species in the genus. It is found in dry ravines located in Chile and Peru.

Collemopsidium is a genus of fungi in the family Xanthopyreniaceae. Some members of this genus are marine species, and described as "borderline lichens" or "algicolous" fungi.

Lopharia is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Károly Kalchbrenner and Peter MacOwan in 1881.

Bothrioplana is a genus of freshwater flatworms, the sole genus in the family Bothrioplanidae and order Bothrioplanida.

Muyocopron is a genus of fungi in the Muyocopronaceae family.

Sierola is a genus of aculeate wasps belonging to the family Bethylidae. The genus was described by British entomologist Peter Cameron in 1881.

Cittotaenia is a genus of tapeworms belonging to the family Anoplocephalidae.
