With no obvious means of arrival and no clear host entity, this occlupanid remained a mystery until a second specimen was brought to HORG by A. Welby (FORC), who found it on La Boulangerie bag of croissant-bread. Though it has since been sighted on many other bread products, its attraction to automobiles may indicate a fondness for roadside environs. Note: Genus <em>Exomiphora<\/em> exhibits great variability in the wide lateral protusions; some specimens have both sides extended, while others are asymmetrical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exomiphora rotacobalus &#8220;Vest-wearing wheel-goblin&#8221; Kingdom Microsynthera Phylum Plasticae Class Occlupanida Order Orthogonidectes Family Toxodentidae Genus Exomiphora Species E. rotacobalus External morphology One or more widened lateral sides.
