Etymology
The species name is derived from the Latin sub (meaning under) and lobus (meaning a rounded projection or protuberance) in reference to the more slender gnathal lobe of the male, the distinguishing feature separating this species and Pseudopostega lobata.

gollark: The attempts to make it linuxy are either giant complex non-backward-compatible things nobody uses, or mostly irrelevant shiny details about Linux nobody really needs.
gollark: Personally, I suspect the thought process is something like:- "Hmm, CC does not look like [Windows/MacOS/whatever the user was brought up on and uses lots]"- "I must make it like this! This is an obvious usability improvement."- "Clearly nobody has thought of this already or, as it's obviously better, it would be used everywhere."
