The first "t" in Colbert and the second "t" in stephencolberti are silent
Stephen Colbert ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert ) is a modern political satirist. When the minor brujaja of the newly named Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmekiaphila_neilyoungi ) sluggishly rippled through the wide world and bug world Colbert had Jason Bond on his show. Bond has (co?)discovered a number of USA mygalomorphs (primitive spiders, of which tarantulas and trapdoors belong) but not all have been named so far. One species from AL was named after Neal Young and Colbert sort of whined that he wanted a spider, too. Bond was a sport and let Colbert choose... as i recall Colbert wanted the one with long or strange genitalia. _________________

There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
i mean, when Bond was on Colbert probably a million new ppl were exposed to mygs _________________

Apparently this team of scientists are known for their "high publicity" names, they've named bugs after George W. bush, Dick Cheney and other political figures.
I do agree that it's great, (now I feel like I hardhead), but I also like the scientific names that refer to what the heck that species is, though not all bi-nomials are like that, I personally like the ones that are. :p _________________ God does not play at dice AE
plus the descriptive name for stephecolberti would have been something like "hairy junk" which would have been funny _________________
