Etymology

The species name refers to the narrow apices of the socii/gnathos arms and is derived from Latin acicula or acus (meaning needle).[2]

gollark: That's your shell's fault for being an apioid.
gollark: If you use `.` or something and not `*`.
gollark: Er, it will include hidden files anyway, I'm 62% sure.
gollark: I'm looking at the void documentation to see if I can install stuff in a weird way on a raspberry pi.
gollark: Fun fact: In Void, the texlive-bin package provides a basic TeX installation, including the tlmgr program. Use tlmgr to install TeX packages and package collections from CTAN mirrors. Install the gnupg package to allow tlmgr to verify TeX packages.
