Pseudothelphusidae
Pseudothelphusidae is a family of freshwater crabs found chiefly in mountain streams in the Neotropics.[2] They are believed to have originated in the Greater Antilles and then crossed to Central America via a Pliocene land bridge.[2]

Parasitology
Pseudothelpshusids are of significance to humans because many species are secondary hosts for lung flukes of the genus Paragonimus.[3] Predators of pseuthelphusid crabs include the yellow-spotted river turtle and the tufted capuchin.[3]

gollark: This actually could be useful.
gollark: Also, idea for the binary HTML thing, increase efficiency like this:```rustenum CommonTag { P, H1, // all other common tags in existence}enum CommonAttr { Class, Id, // also all other common HTML attributes}enum Attribute { Common(CommonAttr), Other(String) }enum Tag { Common(CommonTag), Other(String) }struct Html { name: Tag, attributes: Map<Attribute, String>, children: Vec<Html>}```
gollark: Not sure if that corresponds to the URL, which is what you often want, but oh well.
gollark: Hmm, so looking at this you could probably binary-search the titles, at least.
gollark: They seem hard to construct incrementally, not ideal for random access, and FTS is hacked in by having the index stored as "articles" with a weird type code.
