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: My name predates the evils of Golang.
gollark: Nope!
gollark: In fact, it could be incredibly purely functional if nobody used it! That way no evil IO could ever occur.

gollark: A true purely functional OS would in fact be incapable of any IO.
