Taxa described in 1988

thumb | right | Staphylococcus epidermidis Sporohalobacter are a genus of anaerobic bacteria belonging to the family Haloanaerobiaceae. The organisms are spore-forming bacteria that grow in hypersaline environments.

The Ophioparmaceae are a small family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Umbilicariales.

Letholycus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts. This is a small genus with only two species found in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean.

Eurotiomycetidae is a subclass of the Eurotiomycetes.

Neocallichirus is a genus of ghost shrimp crustaceans belonging to the infraorder Axiidea, within the order Decapoda.

Alviniconcha is a genus of deep water sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Paskentanidae. These snails are part of the fauna of the hydrothermal vents in the Indian and Western Pacific Ocean. These and another genus and species within the same family (Ifremeria nautilei) are the only known currently existing animals whose nutrition is derived from an endosymbiotic relationship with a member of bacteria from phylum Campylobacterota (formerly Epsilonproteobacteria) and Gammaproteobacteria, occurring as endosymbionts within the vacuoles of Alviniconcha ctenidia (or molluscan gills)

Cecidonia is a genus of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi in the family Lecideaceae. It has two species. These fungi create distinctive white, warty swellings or galls up to 6 mm across on the surface of their rock-dwelling lichen hosts, which then develop small black fruiting bodies. The genus name refers to this gall-forming behaviour, and the two species primarily attack crustose lichens that grow on siliceous rocks.

Distocercospora is a genus of plant-pathogenic fungi in the family Mycosphaerellaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1988 with Distocercospora pachyderma as the type species in 1988.

Robinsichthys is a genus of gobies in the subfamily Gobiinae.

Myrionora is a genus of fungi in the family Lecanoraceae.
