Name

The name of the type genus is combined from Latin fissus "split" and Ancient Greek phallos "penis".[1]

Description

Fissiphalliidae are about two to three millimeters long, with legs ranging from three to almost nine mm. The color ranges from yellowish to pale brownish, sometimes with stripes or dots.[1]

Distribution

Fissiphalliidae have been found in Bogotá, Colombia at elevations of about 3,500 meters, and in lowlands of central and eastern Amazon Rainforest.[1]

gollark: Notably, you can have tags with some amount of logic in them for filtering based on various predicates.
gollark: Now, while very ææææ in some ways (they say stuff about keeping notes around for 100 years, but run on a subscription model, and do their stuff as a clientside webapp?!), some of the features there ARE very cool.
gollark: Another one of the inspirations which fed into the utterly nonexistent idea of minoteaur I have in my head is Standard Notes.
gollark: Oh, and a full text search index obviously, although ripgrep *is* pretty fast on plain text files.
gollark: Well, I had various very approximate ideas: tags, including some sort of "smart tags" thing; first-class storage of inter-note links, possibly with associated data of some sort, for cool visualization things™; possibly even associating arbitrary key/value pairs with notes for processing.
