Etymology
The new species is named after the Satpura Hills in central India, where the type locality is located.
gollark: Arbitrary, but really convenient, and stop saying "lock".
gollark: Actually, let's just make time begin with the Unix epoch.
gollark: If you want mildly less arbitrary, why not... base it on the Moon landings or something?
gollark: If you're adding 10000 to the existing system it's basically based on Jesus but offset a round number.
gollark: Well, yes, the fact that our calendar is based around the Jesus thing isn't really ideal, but there aren't exactly many better ones.
