Catalectis

Catalectis is a small genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. It is a small and little-studied group, whose precise relationships remain to be discovered. C. pharetropa was once mistaken for a species of Clepticodes, and Oenoe drosoptila of the Meessiinae was also proposed as a species of Catalectis; ít may be that these are all, in fact, closely related.[1]

gollark: The probability of two independent events both occurring is the probabilities of each multiplied together.
gollark: I think the axioms are satisfied fine if you just remove all numbers except 0.
gollark: `(= (lim x 0 (/x x)) 1)` ← definitely very* readable and certainly much easier to parse.
gollark: It isn't simple. Rendering code for it is gigantic.
gollark: This is why we should replace inconsistent and hard to render maths notation with glorious S-expressions.
