Teloschistaceae
The Teloschistaceae are a large family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, although its members occur predominantly in temperate regions. Most members are lichens that either live on rock or on bark, but about 40 species are lichenicolousmeaning they are non-lichenised fungi that live on other lichens. Many members of the Teloschistaceae are readily identifiable by their vibrant orange to yellow hue, a result of their frequent anthraquinone content. The presence of these anthraquinone pigm
Laboulbeniomycetes
The Laboulbeniomycetes are a unique group of fungi that are obligatorily associated with arthropods, either as external parasites (Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales) or for dispersal (Pyxidiophorales).
Physciaceae
The Physciaceae are a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. A 2016 estimate placed 19 genera and 601 species in the family.
Astrodaucus
Astrodaucus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, with three species native to southeastern Europe, the Caucasus, and western Asia. Astrodaucus littoralis – Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, southern European Russia, and the Caucasus Astrodaucus orientalis – Ukraine, Caucasus, and western Asia Astrodaucus persicus – Caucasus and Iran
Psoraceae
The Psoraceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Lecanorales. The Austrian lichenologist Alexander Zahlbruckner first described the family in 1898. Species of this family have a widespread distribution.
Exobasidiales
The Exobasidiales are an order of fungi in the class Exobasidiomycetes. The order consists of four families as well as one genus, Cladosterigma, not assigned to any family.
Leucosoleniidae
Leucosoleniidae is a family of calcareous sponges in the order Leucosolenida.
Apaturopsis
Apaturopsis is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae.
Calopieris eulimene
Calopieris is a genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae. It consists of only one species, Calopieris eulimene, which is found in Egypt (Gebel Elba Protected Area), Chad, Sudan, the Red Sea coast, western Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Mimagyrta
Mimagyrta is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1898.
Dendya
Dendya is a genus of calcareous sponges in the family Dendyidae.
Hypocladia
Hypocladia is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae erected by George Hampson in 1898.
Leucopleura
Leucopleura is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1898.
Patreliura
Patreliura is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae erected by George Hampson in 1898. Its single species, Patreliura capys, was first described by Pieter Cramer in 1775. It is found in Guyana, Suriname and Brazil (Tefé).
Phaeosphecia
Phaeosphecia is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae erected by George Hampson in 1856. Its single species, Phaeosphecia opaca, described by Francis Walker in 1856, is found in Pará, Brazil.

Roccellina
Roccellina is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Roccellaceae.
Strigulaceae
Strigulaceae is a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi, one of two families in the order Strigulales (class Dothideomycetes). A molecular analysis of the type genus, Strigula, has led to a reallocation of the foliicolous species into six genera that correspond to well-delimited clades with diagnostic phenotype features. These lichens live almost exclusively in tropical rainforests, where they grow as thin films on the surface of living leaves rather than on bark or rock like many other lichens. The family includes around 140 species distributed across multiple continents, making them one of t
Metaloba
Metaloba is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1898.
Tubeufia
thumb | right | Tibeufia roraimensis Tubeufia is a genus in the Tubeufiaceae family of fungi.
Blastomyces
Blastomyces is a genus of fungi in the order Onygenales. Species are known human pathogens and show thermal dimorphism, converting from hyphal states under saprobic conditions to yeast-like states under pathogenic conditions. They are the causative agents of blastomycosis, a systemic mycosis in immunocompromised patients.
Dohrniphora
Dohrniphora is a genus of scuttle flies (insects in the family Phoridae). There are at least 240 described species in Dohrniphora.
Loxozona
Loxozona is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1898. It occurs in South America.
Thuemenella
Thuemenella is a genus of fungi in the family Hypoxylaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1898 by Albert Julius Otto Penzig and Pier Andrea Saccardo.
Eucratonyx
Eucratonyx is a genus of centipedes in the family Gonibregmatidae. This genus was described in 1898 by British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock. Centipedes in this genus are found from the Andaman Islands to New Britain.
Pseudorhina
Pseudorhina is an extinct genus of squatiniform shark closely related to modern angelsharks. Fossils are known from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous of Europe.
Stelligeridae
Stelligeridae is a family of sponges belonging to the order Axinellida.
Championica
Championica is a genus of katydids in the family Tettigoniidae, tribe Pleminiini.
Aphilodon
Aphilodon is a genus of soil centipedes in the subfamily Aphilodontinae, a clade formerly known as the family Aphilodontidae but now deemed a subfamily within the family Geophilidae. These centipedes are found in South America. This genus includes sixteen species and is the most diverse of the Neotropical genera in the subfamily Aphilodontinae.
Lichenosticta
Lichenosticta is a genus of fungi of uncertain familial placement in the order Lecanorales. It has five species. All species are lichenicolous, meaning they are parasitic on lichens.
Galerga
Galerga is a genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
