Adoxophyes parameca is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae first described by Józef Razowski in 2013. It is found on Seram Island in Indonesia. The habitat consists of upper montane forests.

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are cream ferruginous, suffused with ferruginous and spotted and strigulated (finely streaked) with brown. The markings are brownish, strigulated with dark brown. The hindwings are whitish, slightly tinged with yellow.

Etymology

The species name refers to the ductus seminalis and is derived from Greek paramekes (meaning elongate).[1]

gollark: Yes, since if you try and talk about nuance or tradeoffs that's interpreted as "you do not agree and therefore must be part of the outgroup". Sometimes.

gollark: There are arguments both ways. On the one hand you're trying to make sure that the people you have match the population, but on the other you're going about hiring people based on factors other than how well they can do the job (though that was... probably going to happen anyway, considering), and people may worry that they got in only because of being some race/gender.

gollark: Also, more than that, political polarization generally.

gollark: Sadly, yes, first-past-the-post is awful that way.

gollark: Yes, I agree (except possibly not with the "you need to choose a side" bit); my point is that people often *do act as if* the other side is always wrong, regardless of whether they actually *are*.
