Taxonomy

Other authors have used it as type genus of a distinct subfamily Brachmiinae. However, the "Brachmiinae" are considered an ill-defined assemblage of twirler moths whose relationships are not yet sufficiently determined, and the present genus is consequently sometimes placed incertae sedis within the Gelechiidae.[1]

gollark: Isn't /dev/random the secure one and /dev/urandom the insecure one?
gollark: In theory, the entropy pool thing it uses is such that you shouldn't be able to REDUCE its randomness by feeding in data. Without having access to its internal state or something.
