Taxonomy

Caloria elegans is morphologically very similar to Facelina quatrefagesi.[3] Facelina quatrefagesi was considered as a synonym of Caloria elegans, but they are recognized as separate valid species now.[3]

Distribution

This species was described from the Rade de Villefranche-sur-Mer, France.[1]

Description

The typical adult size of this species is 15 mm.[4]

gollark: I'm an expert on this because I read *multiple* Wikipedia articles.
gollark: People are not idiots, and realized that that could be an issue, so there's work on designing asymmetric encryption schemes (symmetric is mostly safe as far as I know, except for Grover's algorithm) which cannot be broken by quantum computing.
gollark: Which breaks RSA and elliptic curve stuff.
gollark: Quantum computers *cannot* do anything ever a trillion times faster, or something ridiculous like that; they can accelerate some algorithms, for example factoring integers fast and something something discrete logarithm problem.
gollark: There are post-quantum schemes already, they're just annoying and not standardized yet.
