The specific epithet refers to the moon of Saturn, and is therefore a noun in apposition that does not agree in gender with the genus.
Description
Distribution
This marine species occurs in the Campos Basin, Southeast Brazil.
gollark: Dibs on Ganymede, then.
gollark: Apparently they just... got it wrong in this case? Weird.
gollark: Not really. Most sanely configured stuff ignores x-forwarded-for and whatnot from clients.
gollark: I looked up the extension in question though, and it does sort of make sense what it does.
gollark: It wouldn't be a HTTP header, that's the wrong layer.
