Genera
Genera in the family Metoptomatidae include:
- Metoptoma Philips, 1836, the type genus of the family Metoptomatidae
gollark: They're not really as cool as self-replicating uranium RTG machines, though.
gollark: It is?
gollark: A good* idea: instead of nonsense like "reactors", build a production plant capable of automatically making new uranium RTGs and building facilities for them.
gollark: Is off by default.
gollark: Ah, but you need infrastructure for that.
