Aphanommata
Aphanommata is a genus of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Cossoninae) endemic to the Cape Verde archipelago in the Old World. The genus was erected by Wollaston in 1873 and currently includes three species from Cape Verde: A. euphorbiarum (Santo Antão), A. kuscheli (São Nicolau), and A. strakai (Fogo). A fourth species, A. filum, occurs elsewhere in the Old World. The genus has been subject to recent taxonomic revision including descriptions of larval morphology and analysis of vertical and inter-insular distribution patterns.

Diplotaxis is a genus of 32–34 species of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, native to Europe, the Mediterranean region, and Macaronesia. Species diversity is highest in the Iberian Peninsula, North Africa, and the Cape Verde archipelago. The genus includes annual and perennial herbs or sub-shrubs with yellow flowers in most species, though D. erucoides bears white flowers. Several species, including D. tenuifolia and D. muralis, are cultivated or occur as introduced weeds.
