Species

According to the World Register of Marine Species,[2] only three species are known in this genus:

  • Chimaericola colliei Beverley-Burton, Chisholm & Last, 1991 [3]
  • Chimaericola leptogaster (Leuckart, 1830) [1]
  • Chimaericola ogilbyi Beverley-Burton, Chisholm & Last, 1991 [3]
gollark: This is working suspiciously well.
gollark: Certain critical systems override the theorem via ontotechnology but we don't do this much.
gollark: They are however able to offer eventual consistency instead.
gollark: Some GTech™ data storage systems are not able to retain strong consistency due to the CAP theorem.
gollark: Maybe I should just use the high Earth orbit railguns instead. The lunar ones are more powerful through, because of recoil problems.
