Species
There are three recognized species in the genus:[2][3]
- Gonionotophis brussauxi (Mocquard, 1889) – Brussaux's file snake, Mocquard's African ground snake
- Gonionotophis grantii (Günther, 1863) – Grant's African ground snake, Grant's file snake, savanna lesser file snake
- Gonionotophis klingi Matschie, 1893 – Kling's file snake, Matschie's African ground snake
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Gonionotophis.
Etymology
The specific name, brussauxi, is in honour of French anthropologist Eugène Brussaux.[4]
The specific name, grantii, is in honor of British physician Robert Edmond Grant.[4]
gollark: I'll try and explain it better then- the quotas at random.org are *presumably* limiting your access to random bits based on your IP - that is, the IP it gets the requests from, not one you specify, that would be silly.- when using your proxy, the requests are coming from the proxy's IP- thus, you should get the quotas from the *same IP* you're contacting random.org from- in the case of your `curl` thing it works, as you're requesting the quota for the same IP you send requests from- this will not be the case if you attempt to fetch the quota for your computer's real IP when it's accessing random.org through the proxy
gollark: **gollark** is typing...
gollark: *But* that's *invalid* if you're going to use the proxy to contact random.org itself.
gollark: No, if he's sending the random.org request from `curl` and then using the IP of the device `curl`ing for the quota, it'll work.
gollark: You're entirely missing the point.
