Oziotelphusa stricta

Oziotelphusa stricta is a species of freshwater crabs in the family Gecarcinucidae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. The species was initially categorized as Near Threatened by the finders, but recent observations included to vulnerable by IUCN Red List due to less abundance is observed localities and much restricted ecology.[1]

Ecology

The species can be found in many nature reserves in southern Sri Lanka, such as Ruhunu National Park, Knuckles Mountain Range and many other southernmost localities- Monaragala and Badulla areas.

Description

The species is greatly similar to Oziotelphusa ceylonensis in their external morphology. So the two species are easily misidentified. The main difference is the straight G1 of male in O. stricta when compared to O. ceylonensis. The carapace is convex. Postorbital region slightly concave. Suture between thoracic sternites 2 and 3 are not clearly visible. Abdomen of the male is triangular-shaped and robust. The species can be found within deep embankments of paddy fields, where plenty of water flows and also in river banks.[2]

gollark: Each pair of "cores" shares a bunch of resources, so it isn't really as fast as an actual "core" in other designs, and I think their IPC was quite bad too, so the moderately high clocks didn't do very much except burn power.
gollark: See, while the FX-4100 is allegedly a fairly high-clocked quad-core, this is misleading. AMD's Bulldozer architecture used "clustered multithreading", instead of the "simultaneous multithreading" on modern architectures and also Intel's ones at the time.
gollark: (as this is based on a tower server and not a rack one, you might not even have ridiculously noisy fans in it!)
gollark: Anyway, I don't think this computer is worth £300, inasmuch as you could buy an old server with a Sandy Bridge era CPU for let's say £120, buy and install an equivalent GPU (if compatible, you might admittedly have some issues with power supply pinout) for £100 or so, possibly upgrade the RAM and disks for £50, and outperform that computer with £30 left over.
gollark: I did *not* just pluck £90 out of nowhere, since even if there wasn't the whole silicon shortage going on, used prices aren't conveniently documented by the manufacturer somewhere.
