The gossamer worm (Tomopteris, Neo-Latin from Greek meaning "a cut" + "wing" but taken to mean "fin") [3] is a genus of marine planktonic polychaetes.All described species are known to be holoplanktic, meaning that they spend their entire life cycles in the water column.
The genus Tomopteris consist of about 70 species, and the three other genera of one known species each. [1] Length varies from just 1-2 cm to 30 cm. [2] These are very active swimmers, and have some of the highest metabolic rate among annelids. [3]
Tomopterus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species: [1] Tomopterus albopilosus Zajciw, 1964; Tomopterus aurantiacosignatus Zajciw, 1969; Tomopterus basimaculatus Zajciw, 1964; Tomopterus brevicornis Giesbert, 1996; Tomopterus clavicornis Magno, 1995; Tomopterus consobrinus Gounelle, 1911
The basic ranks are species and genus. When an organism is given a species name it is assigned to a genus, and the genus name is part of the species name. The species name is also called a binomial, that is, a two-term name. For example, the zoological name for the human species is Homo sapiens. This is usually italicized in print or underlined ...
Phyllodocida is an order of polychaete worms in the subclass Aciculata. [1] These worms are mostly marine, though some are found in brackish water.Most are active benthic creatures, moving over the surface or burrowing in sediments, or living in cracks and crevices in bedrock.
In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families.
Within Lepidoptera as a whole, the groups listed below before Glossata contain a few basal families accounting for less than 200 species; the bulk of Lepidoptera are in the Glossata. [1] Similarly, within the Glossata, there are a few basal groups listed first, with the bulk of species in the Heteroneura. Basal groups within Heteroneura cannot ...
Hymenoptera is a large order of insects, comprising the sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants.Over 150,000 living species of Hymenoptera have been described, [2] [3] in addition to over 2,000 extinct ones. [4]
