Rhinostomus
Rhinostomus is a genus of the true weevil family, Curculionidae and the monotypic tribe Rhinostomini. They include "yucca weevils" and were previously placed in a genus called Yuccaborus; in 2002, this was determined to be a taxonomic synonym of Rhinostomus, and the species, Y. frontalis, was moved to the genus Rhinostomus.

gollark: Oh wow, that is pretty bad.

gollark: In many cases, it's more useful to have a somewhat large binary *now* than a hyperoptimized small one much later.
gollark: We already ran into netsplits or something after one of the two servers went down. This is very IRC.
gollark: If you use tty0.xyz, which doesn't support it at all, or force no SSL, it should work.
