Cephrenes acalle

Cephrenes acalle, commonly known as the plain palm dart,[2] is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae.[3] An examination of the type specimen showed that it was identical to Cephrenes chrysozona lompa Evans 1934 based on genitalia. This has led to Cephrenes chrysozona being treated as a synonym. The species breeds on palms including coconut, Calamus, Elaeis, Roystonea and Prychosperma.[4][5]

gollark: We have word2vec and stuff.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Notably, English words do not actually mean the same thing as the roots might imply, in cases where there even are obvious ones.
gollark: Just because your language theoretically has words composed of subwords doesn't mean you can ignore the various problems I mentioned (except possibly the grammar one). And "convert the words to semantic expressions" hides a lot of the complexity this would involve.
gollark: I'm pretty sure I've seen diagrams of pronounceable things of some kind, but they're more complex than just permutations of "high tone, low tone" and do not conveniently map to concepts.
