Peronia Griffithsi
''Peronia'' is a genus of air-breathing sea slugs, a shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidiidae. These slugs differ from other onchidiid slugs in having branched "gills" on their dorsal side, although these can be retracted. More than two dozen species of ''Peronia'' have been described from the Indo-West Pacific, but a recent revision of the genus determined that 21 of these names are synonyms. Nine species of ''Peronia'' are recognized, most of which can differentiated only by examining their internal anatomy or with DNA sequencing. Species The following species are species currently recognized within the genus ''Peronia'': * '' Peronia anomala'' Labbé, 1934 * '' Peronia griffithsi'' Dayrat & Goulding, 2017 *'' Peronia madagascariensis'' (Labbé, 1934) * '' Peronia okinawensis'' Dayrat & Goulding, 2020 * '' Peronia peronii'' (Cuvier, 1804) *'' Peronia platei'' (Hoffman, 1928) *'' Peronia setoensis'' Dayrat & Goulding, 2020 *'' Peronia sydneyens ...

Thalia (plant)
''Thalia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Marantaceae ( prayer plant and arrowroot) family found mainly in aquatic, marshy and riparian zones in Eastern, Central and Western Africa West Africa, also known as Western Africa, is the westernmost region of Africa. The United Nations defines Western Africa as the 16 countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Ma ...—as far south as Zimbabwe—and the Americas, from Illinois in the north, through northern Argentina in the southern part of its range. These plants can (and prefer to) grow with their roots and rhizomes fully submerged and their foliage growing emersed from the water's surface. They thrive in Floodplain, floodplains, Vernal pool, vernal pools and other seasonally-inundated areas, as well. Alligator-flag is a common name for plants in this genus. The generic name is in honor of Johannes Thal (1542–1583), a German doctor who wrote ''A Flora ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Peronia Platei
''Peronia platei'' is a species of marine gastropod mollusk in the family Onchidiidae, one of the families of sea slugs. Nine species of ''Peronia'' are recognized, which can be differentiated by both mitochondrial DNA sequencing and examining their internal anatomy. Classification Intertidal sea slugs are gastropods belonging to the subclass Heterobranchia and the family Onchiididae. They share many characteristics of shell-less marine mollusks, including dorsal gills that are visible when relaxed and retracted when crawling during low tide. Distribution and habitat This species has a cosmopolitan distribution across the entire tropical and subtropical Indo-West Pacific, from South Africa to Hawaii. It prefers rocky intertidal areas, such as lagoons, staying hidden in crevices during high tide, and only emerging during low tide. Description ''Peronia platei'' has a non-flattened body and is grey in color, with small rounded protrusions on the exterior surface. Gills are ...

Peronia Anomala
''Peronia anomala'' is a species of air-breathing sea slug, a shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Onchidiidae. It is the most recently discovered species of the genus of Peronia, found in the Red Sea in 1934. Description The sea-slug has a small pleural tooth 54μ wide, described by Labbé as "a bit like P. verruclata". Their size ranged from 10 to 5 mm in length and they have a very contacted body, almost globular. They also have thin integuments and a slightly pigmented pleural cavity The pleural cavity, or pleural space (or sometimes intrapleural space), is the potential space between the pleurae of the pleural sac that surrounds each lung. A small amount of serous pleural fluid is maintained in the pleural cavity to enabl .... Distribution P. anomala lives in a marine biome sea habitat.

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Onchidiidae
Onchidiidae are a family of small, air-breathing sea (and land) slugs. They are shell-less marine (except for two species)preview pulmonate gastropod molluscs. Onchidiidae is the only family within the superfamily Onchidioidea. These animals are quite unusual in that they are emphatically not opisthobranchs with gills, as are almost all of the sea slugs. Instead these creatures are pulmonates. They are more closely related to air-breathing land and freshwater snails and slugs than they are to most other sea snails and sea slugs. This family has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). 143 species names were created within the Onchidiidae, but until recently few species could be identified. In the late 1920s Hoffmann revised the family (based on the descriptions), and classified the described species into genera. Labbé later continued the revision and named many new genera in his classification of onchidiid slugs. Labbé also mad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
