History and taxonomy
The genus was named in 1888 by Ashmead as belonging to the Eurytominae[3] and during the same year, the same genus was named Rileya by Howard (albeit Howard incorrectly described Rileya as part of the Chalcidae),[1] although Ashmead (1888) takes priority since they were the first to describe the genus.[3] In 1902, Friedrich von Huene named the phytosaur Rileya, without knowing that the name was already preoccupied. In 1961, Oskar Kuhn renamed it from Rileya to Rileyasuchus, realising that the name used for the phytosaur was preoccupied.[4]

gollark: Lua can also do that.

gollark: Rust does, unfortunately, also do it, if slightly less so since you can run an async task synchronously.
gollark: Do you not know how bees work? Anyway, the Python/JSish way async is done is just awfully bad.
