Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Philothamnus.
gollark: Some offense.
gollark: My browser's element inspector *says* you have some empty `<p>` tags, so it looks like you just managed to mess it up and the browser displays it in a vaguely coherent-looking way.
gollark: You seem to have some random unclosed `<b>` tags... in the middle of other stuff...
gollark: This... also isn't really spec compliant and should probably not parse.
gollark: Also, `<br>`s everywhere for layout are kind of bad, you can do margins/padding in CSS.
