Etymology
The specific name is derived from the Greek word pseudo-, meaning "false", combined with the specific name of the related species T. florensis.[1]
Description
Individuals measure 1.70–2.14 mm in length. General coloration is black, except for the legs and head, which are rust-colored.[1]
Range
The species is found around elevations of 1,995–2,010 metres (6,545–6,594 ft) on Mount Ranaka on the island of Flores, part of the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara.[1]
Phylogeny
T. pseudoflorensis is part of the T. relictus species group. It bears morphological similarities to T. florensis and T. paraflorensis.[1]
gollark: The argument for land value tax is that it's apparently more economically efficient in some way than income taxes, and inasmuch as nobody actually produces land/natural resources value derived from them should go to everyone.
gollark: Case-by-case-basis handling is pretty problematic. In markets, you have the convenient answer of "whoever pays more".
gollark: Oh, and land value tax is a neat idea.
gollark: I think market systems are waaay better than some weird communist one at resource allocation (with intervention), so I'd prefer markets + limited central governance.
