Taxonomy

The type species, Hemihyalea cornea, has been proposed for inclusion in Amastus, and other species that were previously classified in Hemihyalea have consequently been moved to the re-established genus Pseudohemihyalea. It is unclear at present whether Hemihyalea is a valid genus at all, and if so, which species other than H. cornea it would contain.[1]

Distribution

Hemihyalea cornea is found in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Venezuela.

gollark: This is very* practical.
gollark: No, that would be ridiculous. Instead, we force them to speak only through speech synthesis, with their picture obscured, and run the text through a neural network which bland-ifies it and possibly removes some stupid things.
gollark: That sounds like one of those "requires general intelligence" problems.
gollark: Some of the particularly !!FUN!! ones are in probability and uncertainty, which humans are especially awful at.
