  • Doridoxa benthalis Barnard, 1963[4]
  • Doridoxa ingolfiana Bergh, 1899 - the type species of Doridoxa[1]

gollark: The solution is simple: abolish negative numbers.
gollark: As in, less than half of the time.
gollark: Oh, the paper and this trigonometry are different things, right.
gollark: They don't always cancel out however.
gollark: Why does that involve trigonometry (beyond resolving the velocity)? Unless (oh <:dodecahedron:724893894822854697>) you have AIR RESISTANCE?
