Euselenops luniceps is the type species of the genus Euselenops[1] and Euselenops luniceps is the only species in the genus Euselenops.
The radula of this species was studied by Thompson & Bebbington (1973), but they did not publish a description or an image of it.[5]
Distribution
This species is widespread in the Indo-West Pacific region.[6]
gollark: With sufficiently good imaging and such, I imagine you could probably look for signs of wiped out life or megastructures or whatever and determine if there actually is dark-forest-type stuff going on.
gollark: You could probably determine if that was the case, and I can think of ways around that sort of problem right now.
gollark: Not the worst possible solution, but certainly a bad one.
gollark: It's a terrible solution.
gollark: They have a superintelligent AI! I'm sure it can deal with it!
