Etymology
The specific epithet is derived from Latin caetra (meaning a Spanish shield).
gollark: Surely TJ09'd complain about that automatic data gathering though.
gollark: Interesting how high the variation between each of the three slots is.
gollark: Probably accidentally got a - sign stuck on somewhere but TJ09 won't admit it.
gollark: Er, it does, hail God-Emperor TJ09...
gollark: So not absolute rarity as much as number which should be in existence vs numbers which are, right?
