Taxonomy
The holotype was collected in the Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary in the Western Ghats.
The species is named after Dr. Mewa Singh, in honor of his contribution to the preservation of Indian primates.[1]
Habitat and distribution
The species is only known from the type locality. The specimens captured were seen along a stream with riparian cover running along a wall at the toe drain of the Peruvannamuzhi Dam.[1]
gollark: If you had a map of the entire network it would just be Dijkstra or something, but that would be bad.
gollark: The jamming issue there might be disincentivizable with some sort of automatic price adjustment mechanism, but aaaaaaaaaaaa.
gollark: I think stuff kind of works if you just let nodes set their own prices (except you are still incentivized to jam people randomly, for arbitrage or otherwise), but that's just the regular internet.
gollark: (with you as C, and with B unable to reach A directly now)
gollark: So instead of the initial `internet ←→ A ←→ B`, `internet ←→ A ←→ C ←→ B`.
