Sub-Species
There are currently two recognized species in this genus though they are doubtfully distinct:[1]
- Aethotaxis mitopteryx mitopteryx H. H. DeWitt, 1962
- Aethotaxis mitopteryx pawsoni R. G. Miller, 1993
gollark: It seems like some of this might be hard without *actually* creating dangerous AGI.
gollark: And they use relativistic cryoapioform cooling, so that isn't actually a problem.
gollark: Why would that be useful? The source wouldn't care about how it was modulated; you would really only just cause the heat sinks to warm up marginally.
gollark: (osmarks internet radio™ lasers are not in fact radio-based and thus masers, but merely encode osmarks internet radio™ as phase-modulated X-rays)
gollark: Deploying osmarks internet radio™ lasers.
