Trichostetha

Trichostetha (Greek 'hairy' + 'chest') is a genus of beetle in the scarab beetle family. It is endemic to southern Africa, and its species most commonly occur in mountainous terrain.[1] The genus includes several species that have only recently been described, as well as many species lacking a description of any of the larval stages. Except for T. fascicularis and its subspecies, the species comprising Trichostetha have small ranges of distribution, frequently in the Cape Floral Region of South Africa.[1]

gollark: Yes, I know that, it was a foolish mistake, I fixed it.
gollark: OH BEE, it still errors.
gollark: I see. So I should `car`ify it? Fascinating.
gollark: ```scheme(define metagollariosity (lambda (x y z) (define opponent-next-move (z y x z)) (display "about to be gollarious\n") (display "simulating...\n") (write z) (define simulate (lambda (n) (z (cons n y) (cons opponent-next-move x) z)) (define if-defect (simulate 1)) (write "simulated to depth 1") (define if-cooperate (simulate 0)) (write if-cooperate) (if (> (prisond 1 if-defect) (prisond 0 if-cooperate)) 1 0))))```Ignore all the `write`s, they are for debugging.
gollark: It's an `if` which should return only 0 or 1.
