Taxa described in 1929

Peltigerales is an order of lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. The taxonomy of the group has seen numerous changes; it was formerly often treated as a suborder of the order Lecanorales. It contains two suborders, eight families and about 45 genera such as Lobaria and Peltigera.

Trapelia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Trapeliaceae. These lichens form tight, crusty patches on rocks and bark that may appear smooth at first but often crack into small plates over time. The genus was established by the French lichenologist Maurice Choisy in 1929 and contains more than 20 species found worldwide. Most species reproduce through small, -shaped fruiting bodies that range from pale pink-brown to nearly black, and many can be identified by specific chemical compounds they produce.

The Monoblastiaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the monotypic order Monoblastiales. It contains six genera. These lichens typically form inconspicuous thin crusts or films on bark, rock, or leaves, often appearing as little more than a whitish or greyish discolouration of the surface. They reproduce through tiny black flask-shaped structures embedded in the crust that release spores through small pores at their tips. The family includes about 120 species distributed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where they grow in humid environments.

genus of plants

Trapeliaceae is a family of lichens in the order Baeomycetales. The family contains 12 genera and about 125 species.

The Gomphillaceae are a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi in the order Graphidales. They occur mainly in tropical regions, where many species are adapted to humid rainforests and grow directly on leaves rather than on bark or rock. The family contains about 46 genera and more than 800 species, although the true total may be higher because genetic work has revealed extensive cryptic diversity. Many members reproduce using specialised structures and produce few or none of the lichen products that are typical of other lichen groups.

Protoparmelia is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Parmeliaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains 11 species. Protoparmelia was circumscribed by French lichenologist Maurice Choisy in 1929.

Melaspileaceae is a family of lichenised and saprobic fungi in the class Dothideomycetes, order Eremithallales. A 2015 phylogenetic study narrowed the family to two genera, Melaspilea and Encephalographa, and showed that Eremithallales, which had been proposed in 2008, belongs within the Dothideomycetes, and treated Eremithallaceae as a synonym of Melaspileaceae. Many names historically kept in Melaspileaceae but having lichenicolous or saprobic life histories are part of the order Asterinales and belong in segregate genera such as Melaspileella, Melaspileopsis, Stictographa, Karschia, Buellie

Tephromela is a genus of lichens in the family Tephromelataceae. There are about 50 species in this widespread genus. The genus was established in 1929 by the French lichenologist Maurice Choisy, who separated these species from the broader genus Lecanora based on their distinctive straight asexual spores and dark violet spore-bearing layers. These rock and bark-dwelling lichens are characterized by their white to pale grey crusty growth and black -shaped reproductive structures with purple-tinted interiors.

Cyclopteropsis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes or lumpsuckers. These small lumpfishes are found in the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans.

Colposcenia is a genus of Palaearctic plant lice in the family Aphalaridae and tribe Colposceniini.

Protoparmeliopsis is a genus of saxicolous (rock-dwelling, crustose lichens in the family Lecanoraceae. It has about 20 species. The genus was circumscribed by French botanist Maurice Choisy in 1929.

Aliger is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.

Troglothele is a monotypic genus of Caribbean brushed trapdoor spiders containing the single species, Troglothele coeca. It was first described by L. Fage in 1929, and has only been found in Cuba.

Decarya is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Didiereaceae. It has one species, Decarya madagascariensis, a shrub or tree endemic to southern Madagascar. It grows up to 6 meters in height, with zig-zagging branches covered in short spines. thumb It is native to Atsimo-Andrefana, Androy, and Anosy regions of southern Madagascar, where it is found between Toliara and Tolagnaro. It grows in dry spiny thicket or forest and in degraded thicket on limestone, from sea level to 400 meters elevation. It often grows with species of Didierea and Euphorbia. The plant is threaten

Platycarpa is a genus of fungus in the order Platygloeales, containing the single species Platycarpa polypodii. The species forms effused basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on ferns, on which it is parasitic.

Daptomys is a genus of sigmodontine rodents.
