Taxonomy

The genus was formerly included in the family Tineidae.

gollark: No. It was generated like this and I don't know how to operate upscalers.
gollark: FEAR.
gollark: Communist revolutions cause the bearing to rotate with very high torque, due to the inevitability theorem, and so apioforms placed on the bearing can create apiolectromagnetic fields.
gollark: The capitalistic/communistic differential causes communist revolution to occur.
gollark: Basically, a large bearing is placed in strong capitalistic fields. and communism is piped in from an external source.
