Podogymnura
Podogymnura is a genus of mammal in the family Erinaceidae. It contains the following species: Dinagat moonrat (Podogymnura aureospinula) Eastern Mindanao gymnure (Podogymnura intermedia) Podogymnura minima Mindanao gymnure (Podogymnura truei)
Protoneuridae
Protoneuridae was formerly considered a family of damselflies. Recent taxonomic revisions have classified the species previously placed in Protoneuridae into two existing families - Coenagrionidae and Platycnemididae, both in the superfamily Coenagrionoidea.
Rigidoporus
Rigidoporus is a genus of fungi in the family Meripilaceae. Many of the species in this genus are plant pathogens. The widespread genus, which contains about forty species, was originally circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905. The generic name combines the Latin word rigidus ("rigid") with the Ancient Greek word ("pore").
Rhizoplaca
Rhizoplaca is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Lecanoraceae. Members of the genus are commonly called rimmed navel lichens because of their umbilicate growth form and lecanorine (rimmed with thallus-like tissue)apothecia, also rock-posy lichen and rockbright.
Aurantiporus
Aurantiporus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Meruliaceae. Circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905, the genus contains five species found mostly in northern temperate regions. Molecular analysis of several Aurantiporus species suggests that the genus is not monophyletic, but some other related polypore species need to be sequenced and studied before appropriate taxonomic changes can be made. In 2018, Viktor Papp and Bálint Dima proposed a new genus Odoria to contain Aurantiporus alborubescens based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. The generic name is de
Coriolopsis
Coriolopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905. The genus is cosmopolitan, with most species in tropical areas. The generic name combines the name Coriolus with the Ancient Greek word ("appearance").
Amauroderma
Amauroderma is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae. The genus, widespread in tropical areas, contains about 70 species. Amauroderma fungi are wood-decay fungi that feed and fruit on decayed branches and trunks.
Hesperopsis
Hesperopsis is a genus of butterflies in the skipper family, Hesperiidae.
Flaviporus
Flaviporus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Steccherinaceae.
Paraboea
Paraboea are a genus of flowering plants in the African violet family Gesneriaceae, native to southern China (including Taiwan and Hainan), Assam, Indochina, and Malesia. They were recircumscribed from Boea in 2016.
Pycnoporellus
Pycnoporellus is a genus of fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The widespread genus, circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905, contains two species.
Heteroxyidae
Heteroxyidae is a family of sponges belonging to the order Axinellida.
Fomitella
Fomitella is a genus of fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus was described in 1905 by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill with F. supina as the type species.
Ilma
Ilma is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species, Ilma irvina.
Anatrytone
Anatrytone is a genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae widespread New World.
Sceptridium
Sceptridium is a genus of seedless vascular plants in the family Ophioglossaceae, closely allied to (and often included as a subgenus of) the genus Botrychium (the moonworts and grapeferns). It is also closely related to the genus Botrypus (the rattlesnake fern, often treated as the subgenus Osmundopteris under Botrychium). Sceptridium species are commonly called the grape-ferns.
Christensenia
genus of plants
Uromycladium
Uromycladium is a genus of rust fungi in the family Pileolariaceae. It was circumscribed by mycologist Daniel McAlpine in 1905. The genus was established by McAlpine for rusts on Acacia (Fabaceae, subfamily Mimosoideae) with teliospores that clustered at the top of a pedicel.
Purana
genus of insects
Daphnephila
Daphnephila is a genus of gall midge that appears in the Palearctic and Oriental biogeographic realms. Daphnephila species create leaf and stem galls on species of laurel plants, particularly in Machilus. Based on analysis on sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, it has been suggested that in this genus, the stem-galling habit is a more ancestral state as opposed to the leaf-galling habit.
Earliella
Earliella is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Earliella scabrosa. It is found in Hainan.
Microporellus
Microporellus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae.
Orchadocarpa
Orchadocarpa is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae. It contains a single species, Orchadocarpa lilacina, a lithophyte native to the Titiwangsa Range on the Malay Peninsula.
Neotrioza
Neotrioza is a genus of East Asian plant lice belonging to the family Triozidae.
Pachymerinus
Pachymerinus is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was described by Italian entomologist Filippo Silvestri in 1905. Centipedes in this genus feature elongate heads, elongate forcipules with denticles, scattered coxal pores, and few sternal pores, if any; the intermediate part of the labrum is narrow and has no denticles. These centipedes range from about 3 cm to 8 cm in length, have 47 to 81 pairs of legs, and are found in Chile and southeast Australia. The Australian species Pachymerinus froggatti is notable for its relatively small size, measuring only 28 mm i
Medonina
Medonina is a subtribe of rove beetles within the family Staphylinidae. , it contains 49 genera, including:
Homalopteroides
Homalopteroides is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Balitoridae, the loaches in this family are commonly known as hillstream loaches although this name also refers to the loaches in the family Gastromyzontidae. These loaches are found in Southeast Asia.
Nigroporus
Nigroporus is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Steccherinaceae. The genus was circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905. Nigroporus has a pantropical distribution. The genus name combines the Latin word niger ("black") with the Ancient Greek word ("pore").
Thereuopodina
Thereuopodina is a genus of centipedes in the family Scutigeridae. It was described by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1905.
Polyplectropus
Polyplectropus is a genus of caddisflies belonging to the family Polycentropodidae.
