Prosomphax
Prosomphax is a very small genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). As of 2005, only four species had been described; all are found in the southern half of Africa. This little-studied genus belongs to the emerald moth subfamily (Geometrinae), but beyond that its relationships are still rather obscure.[1]

gollark: Well, A-level computer science is basically worthless.
gollark: It *also* works as a socially acceptable way to not do full-time job-y work for a few years, so you *can* learn things™.
gollark: But I expect you can at least get a decent overview of the bits you like most.
