Etymology

The Macrocephalitidae is one of the 11 families listed in the Treatise, 1957 Part L in the superfamily Stephanoceratoidea.

According to Donovan et al. (1981) the superfamily Stephanoceratoidea should contain only five families and the Macrocephalitidae of the Treatise are reduced to subfamilies within the Sphaeroceratidae, Macrocephalitinae and Mayaitinae, but still in the Stephanoceratoidea.

Genus
gollark: Instead of trying to make them work *everywhere*, and having massively overspecced batteries for most journeys.
gollark: I think a much better approach for self-driving cars would just be to have rentable self-driving short-range electric cars in big cities and stuff, which would use only whitelisted roads where you can make sure to apply necessary standardization and add whatever infrastructure is needed.
gollark: Lots of personal data, or at least stuff you could derive personal data *from*, too.
gollark: No, some of the projects giant companies do involve lots of data, it's not the same thing.
gollark: Also tracking everyone else, so I'm against that sort of thing.
