Taxonomy
The species was described in the family Elachistidae, but was excluded from this family in a later study.[4]
gollark: Lemmmy, you can Linux, right? Do you have any idea why the Qt-using applications (MultiMC, Calibre) I have appear to be segfaulting and/or what I can do about it?
gollark: KDE is resource-intensive, apparently, and LXDE is good enough.
gollark: Hmm. This is very annoying. 5.14.0 doesn't work and 5.13.whatever causes problems because it's a different version to what the applications want.
gollark: Hi.
gollark: Hmm, different error that time.
