[Taxacom] Geodorcus sororum

[Jim Croft]

There are individuals here who assertively refuse to acknowledge the
richness of infraspecific taxa because endangered species legislation
only works at the species level, leading to all manner of absurdities
in an ego-driven species rush to author a species for every variant
and every population.
