The species was incorrectly assessed as a junior synonym of A. rhoifructella, but was resurrected in 2014.[2]

gollark: I think I may have made JackMacWindows dislike me, or at least my project.
gollark: PotatOS automatically turns it on if available for as yet unidentified porpoises.
gollark: Well, CraftOS-PC supports that as an option.
gollark: I think for a basic standard interface you could get away with something like `thing.run(function)` and it could return a handle which lets you stop it and stuff.
