Kwonkan

Kwonkan is a genus of Australian tarantulas first described by Barbara York Main in 1983.[3] It was originally assigned to Dipluridae, but was later assigned to Nemesiidae due to similarities to the genus Aname,[4][5] before being transferred to the family Anamidae in 2010.[1] Yilgarnia is now considered a synonym for this genus, and its type species is assigned to Kwonkan currycomboides.[2]

gollark: How exciting.
gollark: I briefly read it as "LGBTIQ free zone" and was worried.
gollark: Desmos has a great combination of very intuitive UI and a ridiculous amount of sometimes poorly documented features.
gollark: I'm not aware of them. There are computer algebra systems of course, but they are not desmosuous in nature.
