Etymology

This species is named in honour of Russian entomologist A.M. Gerasimov who has collected the holotype.[1]

gollark: It's so that if the footer bit is somehow missing, you can seek backward through it.

gollark: Previous header.

gollark: Hmm. Should each file header thing store the *absolute* position of the previous header, or the *relative* one? Is it plausible for the front of files to be truncated somehow?

gollark: Really? I thought lisps were mostly untyped.

gollark: I also shortened the stringy names of things.
