Asheum

Asheum is a genus of European non-biting midges in the subfamily Chironominae of the bloodworm family Chironomidae. It was originally named Pedionomus by James E. Sublette in 1964; this name was discovered by Dr. Patrick Ashe to be preoccupied by Pedionomus Gould, 1840, so it was renamed to Asheum by both James E. and Mary S. Sublette in 1983, naming it after Dr. Patrick Ashe.[1] Asheum is sometimes considered to be a subgenus of Polypedilum.[2][3][4]

gollark: Enjoy your vision!
gollark: I see.
gollark: Of course, since it is impossible to have friends who know networking things or who will not randomly shun those who do.
gollark: The subnet mask is wrong, the DMZ doesn't make sense, ALT DNS isn't a valid IP address, the IPv6 address is also wrong (and a link local one), and the DNS suffix seems wrong given the alleged router vendor.
gollark: Oh, also, religions tend to constrain your actions in vaguely nonsensical ways so that's another cost.
