Zannini

The Zannini are a tribe of Fulgoromorphan insects, whose placement is the subject to debate: some authorities placing the Zanninae at the sub-family level [1] and others, based on molecular analysis, questioning whether it should even be placed in the Fulgoridae.[2]

gollark: Remember, even if you only studied philosophy or politics, maths can't hurt you if you just deny it constantly or ban it, and technology people can do anything if you complain enough!
gollark: As is typical for this sort of immense stupidity this was about cryptography and them wanting magic backdoors.
