Cincinnetina
Cincinnetina is an extinct genus of brachiopods which existed in what is now the United States during the Late Ordovician. It was described by Jisuo Jin in 2012, as a new genus for the Orthis species O. multisecta (Meek, 1873) and O. meeki (Miller, 1875), each of which have been replaced a number of times under other genera, e.g. Dalmanella, Resserella, and Onniella by other authors.[1] A third species, C. minnesotensis, was described from Minnesota, from which its species epithet was derived.[1]

gollark: Do you mean MediaWiki and redirects? If so, sure.
gollark: Admittedly this is not incredibly *useful* in that it doesn't really open any previously nonexistent possibilities, but people asked for redirects so I assume they do want this, and it wasn't hard to add.
gollark: It's also case and spacing-insensitive.
gollark: No, it's bee.
gollark: Well, you might want to put a link to the page "Bees" in the middle of a sentence saying something like "the best kind of bee is an apiaristic bee". But `the best kind of [[bees|bee]] is an apiaristic bee` looks slightly bad. So if you give the "Bees" page the name "Bee" too, it looks nicer.
