After co-authoring a paper with Dr. Bruce Ragsdale, the resulting worldwide attention of the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group prompted many HORG researchers to finally deal with the huge backlog of undescribed and unattended specimens in the archives, and to redesign the obsolete website for use by the public at large. During this overhaul, four single specimens of an entirely unknown taxon were discovered in a small unlabeled cardboard box. These four are to date the only examples of the recently-named family Concavigulidae. It is hoped more information of its life and habits will come to light, but for now it remains a pleasing mystery, named in honor of two eminent proponents of occlupanology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
