Vetufebrus
''Vetufebrus'' is an extinct genus of haemospororida in the family Plasmodiidae. At the time of its description the new genus comprised a single species ''Vetufebrus ovatus'' known from a single Miocene Dominican amber fossil found on Hispaniola. ''V. ovatus'' was vectored by ''Enischnomyia stegosoma'', the first fossil streblid bat fly described from a fossil, and the only member of the subfamily Nycterophiliinae described from Hispaniola. ''V. ovatus'' is the first instance of a Streblidae bat fly as a host for a malarial parasite. History and classification ''Vetufebrus ovatus'' was described based on a group of fossilized specimens which are preserved as in the host batfly, itself an Inclusion (mineral), inclusion in a transparent chunk of Dominican amber. The amber is fossil resin that was produced by the extinct ''Hymenaea protera'', which formerly grew on Hispaniola, across northern South America and up to southern Mexico. The amber dates from the Burdigalian stage (20 ...

''Enischnomyia'' is an extinct genus of bat fly in the family Streblidae. At the time of its description the new genus comprised a single species, ''Enischnomyia stegosoma'', known from a single Miocene fossil found on Hispaniola. ''E. stegosoma'' was the first fossil streblid bat fly described from a fossil, and the only member of the subfamily Nycterophiliinae described from Hispaniola.

Haemospororida
The Haemosporida (sometimes called Haemospororida) are an order of intraerythrocytic parasitic alveolates. Taxonomy Over 500 species are in this order, organised into four families: the Garniidae, the Haemoproteidae, the Leucocytozoidae, and the Plasmodiidae. The majority of the species lie within three genera: ''Haemoproteus'', ''Leucocytozoon'', and ''Plasmodium''. The Haemoproteidae and the Plasmodiidae both produce pigment. These families have been placed in the suborder Laveraniina. Neither the Haemoproteidae nor the Leucocytozoidae have an asexual cycle in the peripheral blood. The Garniidae do not produce pigment, but do have an asexual cycle in the blood. The taxa in detail are: *Family Garniidae ** Genus '' Fallisia'' Lainson, Landau & Shaw 1974 *** Subgenus '' Fallisia'' *** Subgenus '' Plasmodioides'' Gabaldon, Ulloa and Zerpa 1985 ** Genus '' Garnia'' Lainson, Landau and Shaw 1971 ** Genus '' Progarnia'' Lainson 1995 *Family Haemoproteidae ** Genus '' Johnsprenti ...

Plasmodiidae
The Plasmodiidae are a family (biology), family of apicomplexan parasites, including the type genus ''Plasmodium'', which is responsible for malaria. This family was erected in 1903 by Mesnil and is one of the four families in the Order (biology), order Haemospororida. Diagnostic criteria The diagnostic criteria of the Plasmodiidae are: * Macrogametes and microgamonts develop independently * Meiosis is absent * Microgametocyte produces eight flagellated microgametes * Zygote is motile (known as an ookinete) * Conoid present in ookinete stage only * Sporozoites naked in oocyst (that is without a Apicomplexa lifecycle stages, sporocyst) * Sporozoites have three walls * Heteroxenous: Protozoal merogony, merogony and Apicomplexan life cycle#gametogony, gamogony occur in vertebrate host, and fertilization and sporogony in definitive host (a blood-sucking insect) * Hemozoin pigment is produced Taxonomy The family Plasmodiidae has three sister taxa in the order Haemospororida: the f ...

Burdigalian
The Burdigalian is, in the geologic timescale, an age (geology), age or stage (stratigraphy), stage in the early Miocene. It spans the time between 20.43 ± 0.05 annum, Ma and 15.97 ± 0.05 Ma (million years ago). Preceded by the Aquitanian (stage), Aquitanian, the Burdigalian was the first and longest warming period of the MioceneEdward Petuch, Ph.D. Florida Atlantic University, Department of Geosciences. and is succeeded by the Langhian. Stratigraphic definition The name Burdigalian comes from ''Burdigala'', the Latin name for the city of Bordeaux, France. The Burdigalian Stage was introduced in scientific literature by Charles Depéret in 1892. The base of the Burdigalian is at the first appearance of foram species ''Globigerinoides altiaperturus'' and the top of magnetic chronozone C6An. , an official GSSP for the Burdigalian had not yet been assigned. The top of the Burdigalian (the base of the Langhian) is defined by the first appearance of foram species ''Praeorbulina gl ...

Type (biology)
In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally attached. In other words, a type is an example that serves to anchor or centralizes the defining features of that particular taxon. In older usage (pre-1900 in botany), a type was a taxon rather than a specimen. A taxon is a scientifically named grouping of organisms with other like organisms, a set that includes some organisms and excludes others, based on a detailed published description (for example a species description) and on the provision of type material, which is usually available to scientists for examination in a major museum research collection, or similar institution. Type specimen According to a precise set of rules laid down in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) and the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), the scientific name of every taxon is almost al ...

Specific Name (zoology)
In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet or species epithet) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen). The first part of the name of a species is the name of the genus or the generic name. The rules and regulations governing the giving of a new species name are explained in the article species description. For example, the scientific name for humans is ''Homo sapiens'', which is the species name, consisting of two names: ''Homo'' is the " generic name" (the name of the genus) and ''sapiens'' is the "specific name". Historically, ''specific name'' referred to the combination of what are now called the generic and specific names. Carl Linnaeus, who formalized binomial nomenclature, made explicit distinctions between specific, generic, and trivial names. The generic name was that of the genus, the first in the binomial, the trivial name was the second name in the binomial, and the specific the proper term for ...
