  • Polites baracoa baracoa (Lucas, 1857)
  • Polites baracoa loma Evnas, 1955
gollark: So can my phone (though it's annoying because of the virtual keyboards).
gollark: I suppose they also have more mathy software - my calculator can do stuff like automatic equation solving and whatnot which I can't easily do on my computer - but I'm sure there's something for that.
gollark: I'm aware. But it's kind of weird that they cost so much still.
gollark: It can plot graphs nicely using several different web applications.
gollark: Graphing ones cost something like £100. My *phone*, which has a very fast (comparatively...) processor, 32GB of storage, a 5" touchscreen and wireless networking, cost less than that.
