Paratya

Paratya is a genus of freshwater shrimp of the family Atyidae, found in various islands in the Pacific Ocean.[1] The split between the North Pacific clade (Japan) and the South Pacific clade (New Zealand, Australia, New Caledonia, Lord Howe Island) has been estimated to have occurred 19 to 12.5 million years ago.[1]

gollark: Well, I don't *normally* have the ability to memorise sheets of paper visually and I haven't found a way to do so.
gollark: Evolution tends to be quite thrifty. Why would I have significant general purpose cognitive resources only accessible in weird indirected ways?
gollark: Random online tests involving remembering sequences of shapes and stuff. Also the fact that I don't experience memories visually whatsoever.
gollark: So I could think abstractly about any problems I encounter, but that isn't much use.
gollark: And paper which randomly edits its contents isn't very useful.
