List of genera

There are two genera:[1]

  • Keuperotesta Szczygielski & Sulej, 2016[3] (junior synonym of Proterochersis?)[4]
    • Keuperotesta limendorsa Szczygielski & Sulej, 2016[3]
  • Proterochersis Fraas, 1913
    • Proterochersis intermedia Fraas, 1913 (synonym of P. robusta?)[3]
    • Proterochersis porebensis Szczygielski & Sulej, 2016[3]
    • Proterochersis robusta Fraas, 1913
gollark: No, they use better modulation and stuff.
gollark: It's called 5G because it's fifth generation because it comes after 4G.
gollark: No.
gollark: I don't like it. We use a BT router with that "feature" at home and I cannot figure out how to turn it off and it *annoys me slightly*.
gollark: Self-driving cars should probably not be using the mobile/cell network just for communicating with nearby cars, since it adds extra latency and complexity over some direct P2P thing, and they can't really do things which rely on constant high-bandwidth networking to the internet generally, since they need to be able to not crash if they go into a tunnel or network dead zone or something.
