Nemadactylus is a genus of morwongs.

Systematics

The genus was traditionally assigned to Cheilodactylidae, but a number of papers published in the late 1990s and early 2000s placed Nemadactylus as sister to Latris, prompting its reassignment to Latridae.[1][2][3]

Species

There are currently seven recognized species in this genus:[4]

gollark: What?
gollark: It can do a lot of cool things via ??? linear algebra ??? quantum logic gates, but it doesn't do something silly like "compute all possibilities at once in parallel universes".
gollark: It isn't even that *in theory*.
gollark: Quantum computing is not actually a magic "speed up all computations" box.
gollark: Using relatively general-purpose hardware is quite useful right now since the details of how to do things aren't that pinned down yet and being able to experiment is valuable.
