Hyloxalus Hyloxalus is a genus of poison dart frogs. The genus is distributed in Central and South America, from Panama south to Peru (along the Pacific coast), along with Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. They also inhabit the eastern foothills of the Andes in Bolivia to Venezuela, east to the upper Amazon Basin. Many "Hyloxalus" species, such as the cream-back, bear superficial resemblances to hylids, such as the presence of small webs between their toes, and the discs at the end of their toes are slightly adhesive. This may be one of the oldest of dendrobatid genera; if this is the case, the genus has changed little since it first evolved.

List of ants of Australia The ant fauna of Australia is large and diverse. As of 1999, Australia and its external territories represent 1,275 described species (subspecies included) divided into 103 genera and 10 subfamilies. No publication since 1999 has estimated the current diversity of Australia's ant fauna today, although it has considerably increased in size as the total amount of subfamilies in Australia today is around 12. Very few species in the country are known to be invasive.

Coleorrhyncha Coleorrhyncha or Peloridiomorpha, also known as moss bugs or beetle bugs, are a suborder of Hemiptera and represent an ancient lineage of moss-feeding insects that evolved in the southern paleo-continent Gondwana. They show some similarities to the Heteroptera but have been considered distinct. It has a single extant family, the Peloridiidae. Three other families have been established on the basis of fossils and these include the more ancient (Later Permian to Jurassic) Progonocimicidae and the later Karabasiidae and Hoploridiidae. The Coleorrhyncha were earlier included within the "Homoptera" but based on studies of their morphological similarities as well as molecular phylogeny are now considered as a sister group of the Heteroptera. They have wings in some species which are reduced in others but all species are flightless and live in damp moss habitats and are associated with the distribution of "Nothofagus" trees in Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, and South America.

Platanthera azorica Platanthera azorica, commonly known as Hochstetter's butterfly orchid, is a species of orchid in the genus "Platanthera". It was "rediscovered" in 2013 on a single volcanic ridge on the central Azores island of São Jorge, and "is arguably Europe's rarest "bona fide" orchid species." While "P. azorica" was previously considered by some sources to be the same as "Platanthera micrantha", the 2013 discovery triggered a thorough analysis of historic and current data and specimens, resulting in three species identified.
