Taxonomy

The genus was originally named Rhanis by C. L. Koch in 1846. However, this name had already been used for a beetle genus in 1834. Accordingly, Tamerlan Thorell provided the replacement name Rhene in 1869.[2] The name Rhene is derived from the Greek woman's name Rhene (Ῥήνη).[2]

In 2010, the species Zygoballus citri was transferred to Rhene as Rhene citri.[3]

gollark: They *might* have stopped a tiny amount of people getting blood clots, they *did* create a lot of vaccine hesitancy even after unhalting rollout of it.
gollark: It was causing very rare blood clots, and IIRC almost entirely in some specific demographic.
gollark: I can't see where on the Yellow Card site itself you can see their data, just where you can submit some. And it seems to be partly open-submission.
gollark: It's on the "Evidence Based Medicine Consultancy" website, which is linked from that article.
gollark: Your article says that it's just someone petitioning to do that, and their website has this delightful content.
