<i>Acacia aneura</i> Species of shrub or small tree

Acacia aneura, commonly known as mulga or true mulga, is a shrub or small tree native to arid outback areas of Australia. It is the dominant tree in the habitat that it gives its name to (mulga) that occurs across much of inland Australia. Specific regions have been designated the Western Australian mulga shrublands in Western Australia and Mulga Lands in Queensland.

Sphaeroceridae Family of insects

Sphaeroceridae are a family of true flies in the order Diptera, often called small dung flies, lesser dung flies or lesser corpse flies due to their saprophagous habits. They belong to the typical fly suborder Brachycera as can be seen by their short antennae, and more precisely they are members of the section Schizophora. There are over 1,300 species and about 125 genera accepted as valid today, but new taxa are still being described.

Curtonotidae family of insects

The Curtotonidae or quasimodo flies are a small family of small grey to dark brown humpbacked flies (Diptera) with a worldwide distribution, but with very few species in the Nearctic, Australasian/Oceanian, and Palaearctic regions. Most members of the family are found in tropical to subtropical latitudes in Africa and the Neotropics. Many remain undescribed in collections, since little work on the family has been done since the 1930s.

Cryptothallus mirabilis is a species of liverworts in the family Aneuraceae, and was first described in 1933. Plants of this species are white as a result of lacking chlorophyll, and their plastids do not differentiate into chloroplasts. Apart from lacking chlorophyll, Cryptothallus is very similar to the genus Aneura, and the validity of recognizing Cryptothallus as a separate genus has been questioned by Renzaglia, who suggests it may be considered "merely as an achlorophyllous species of Aneura."

Cryptothallus is a genus of liverworts in the family Aneuraceae. The plants are small, and are white to pale green as a result of lacking chlorophyll. The morphology of Cryptothallus is very similar to that of Aneura. As a result, Renzaglia, has suggested it may be considered "merely as an achlorophyllous species of Aneura." Wickett and Goffinet have argued the same position on the basis of sequences of nuclear, mitochondrial, and plastid DNA.
