Etymology
The species epithet, ximeniaella, refers to the generic name of the plant from which the moth was first reared.

gollark: I'm not sure this is true. It should still be more efficient to have a *few* humans "preprocess" things for robotics of some kind than to have it entirely done by humans.
gollark: Those are computationally hard problems, but I would be really surprised if there wasn't *some* fast heuristic way to do them.
gollark: Except that people are somewhat inconsistent about how much inconvenience/time/whatever is worth how much money.
gollark: I'm not sure you can reasonably call their preferences *wrong*.
