If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

Quote:
Cryptopidae: Plutoniuminae
Theatops posticus (Say, 1821), one 4 species of Theatops in the US and the more widespread of the 2 occurring east of the Mississippi River. Note the absence of ocelli and the 21 pairs of legs & pedal segments, which place the specimen in Cryptopidae. The enlarged, heavily sclerotized, forcipulate caudal legs and the longer ultimate segment (longer than any of the others) identify the specimen as Theatops.
