Genera

The family Doridoxidae is a small family with only one genus Doridoxa and three species:[3]

  • Doridoxa benthalis Barnard, 1963[4]
  • Doridoxa ingolfiana Bergh, 1899 - the type species of Doridoxa[1]
  • Doridoxa walteri (Krause, 1892)

gollark: Anyway, science is basically just a way to find out things about the world, and theoretically (this is somewhat broken a lot of the time, honestly) can have incorrect stuff noticed and corrected. Religion goes "LALALALALA I'M RIGHT I'M RIGHT" and then if this ever comes into conflict with the world, says the world's wrong or calls it a metaphor or something.
gollark: What if they're nonexistent lizards? That's much easier.
gollark: This isn't solipsism, the other people exist but are lizards.
