Taxa described in 1998

The clade Afrosoricida (; a Latin-Greek compound name which means "looking like African shrews") contains the golden moles of Southern Africa, the otter shrews of equatorial Africa, and the tenrecs of Madagascar. These three groups of small mammals were for most of the 19th and 20th centuries regarded as a part of the Insectivora or Lipotyphla, but both of those groups, as traditionally used, are polyphyletic.

Amoebozoa is a major taxonomic group containing about 2,400 described species of amoeboid protists, often possessing blunt, fingerlike, lobose pseudopods and tubular mitochondrial cristae. In traditional classification schemes, Amoebozoa is usually ranked as a phylum within either the kingdom Protista or the kingdom Protozoa. In the classification favored by the International Society of Protistologists, it is retained as an unranked "supergroup" within Eukaryota. Molecular genetic analysis supports Amoebozoa as a monophyletic clade. Modern studies of eukaryotic phylogenetic trees identify it a

Austroomphaliaster is a fungal genus in the family Tricholomataceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Austroomphaliaster nahuelbutensis, also known as the big puma fungus, the species is found in temperate South America. This species lives on Patagonian oak trees, Dombey’s beech trees, and caves. In May 2023, specimens of the formerly lost fungus were found in caves of the Nahuelbuta Mountains in Chile in an expedition by Fungi Foundation and Fundación Nahuelbuta under Re: Wild's search for lost species initiative. Prior to its rediscovery in 2023, the species was only do

The Pseudochactidae are a scorpion family. They are predominantly found in caves.

Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis, also known as the vent octopus, is a small benthic octopus endemic to hydrothermal vents. It is the only photographed species of the genus Vulcanoctopus. Other species such as Vulcanoctopus tangaroa and Vulcanoctopus tegginmathae have been accepted but are near undocumented. This vent octopus is endemic to the hydrothermal vent habitat that is located in the East Pacific Rise.

Natrinema (common abbreviation Nnm.) is a genus of archaeans in the family Natrialbaceae.

Archaeonympha is a genus in the family Riodinidae. They are resident in the Americas.

Ceiupaba is a genus of cerambycid beetle. There are two species recognized in this genus.

The Oliveoniaceae are a family of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species form thin, effused, corticioid basidiocarps (fruit bodies) with aseptate basidia producing basidiospores that give rise to secondary spores. All species are believed to be saprotrophic, most growing on dead wood.

Acantholichen is a genus of basidiolichen-forming fungus species in the family Hygrophoraceae. The genus was established in 1998 by the Per Magnus Jørgensen based on a single species from Costa Rica, but has since grown to include seven recognized species found across Central and South America. These lichens form crusts made of tiny, scale-like flaps that give them a finely granular appearance, quite different from the thread-like growth of their close relatives. Acantholichen species partner with blue-green bacteria to create their living structures, using specialized fungal pegs to exchange

Senyumia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.

Spelaeanthus is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.

Crustospathula is a genus of five species of crustose lichens in the family Malmideaceae. They are characterized by their stalked and sometimes branched cartilaginous soredia and Bacidia-like apothecia.

Schizodiscus is a genus of lichenized fungi within the Lecideaceae family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Schizodiscus afroalpinus.
