Description

Previously confused with Glossodoris pallida this species is distinguished by details of colouring and internal anatomy as well as DNA sequences from other species of very similar appearance.[1]

gollark: Digraphs.
gollark: <@249056455552925697> Why not use digraphs (for C)?
gollark: As long as your program isn't egregiously awfully optimized, like Electron or something, and is running on fairly recent computers, and does not do heavy computation, it's probably sensible to trade off some speed for development time.
gollark: I just have keys for that.
gollark: Consider: if you use a lower-level language it will probably take longer to implement.
