Etymology
The specific name is derived from the Greek a (meaning without) and spilos (meaning spot, speck, stain) in reference to the absence of the small, elongate, costal spot typically present in members this genus.
gollark: "You're making my keyboard lose its confidence" is what you probably meant.
gollark: Yes it is.
gollark: So I corrected your "it's" to "its".
gollark: "It's" is fine, I won't complain about using it, but you used it when what you likely meant was "its".
gollark: No, it shouldn't. I wasn't expanding the contraction, just replacing it with a correct similar word you must have mixed up.
