Taxonomy

The species known as Xanthopastis timais is now recognized as a species complex. The name for the species in eastern United States is Xanthopastis regnatrix (Type locality: Pennsylvania). This species name was used for the species by Kimball (1965), Wagner (2005) and Wagner et al. (in press). It is characterized by the black patch of scales on the forewing that completely surround the reniform and orbicular spots, the relatively small process on the inner surface of the right valve.

gollark: Well, *sorry*. What do you *want* on it?
gollark: I've written```Coroutines are Lua's way of handling concurrency - running multiple things "at once". They act somewhat similarly to threads on computers, except coroutines must explicitly transfer control back to their parent - only one is actually run at any given time. This is what [[coroutine.yield]] does. Many things internally use [[coroutine.yield]], such as [[os.pullEvent]], [[sleep]] and anything else which waits for events.You can create a coroutine with [[coroutine.create]] - pass it a function and it will return a coroutine. This coroutine will initially not be running (use [[coroutine.status]] to check its status - it should show "suspended")See also [http://lua-users.org/wiki/CoroutinesTutorial the Lua users' wiki].```so far, but I'm really not too great at documentation...
gollark: We should put it up *somewhere*.
