Beetles get politically prominent names

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: AP: Beetles get politically prominent names: "Slime-mold beetles are named for the fungilike molds on which they feed. The entomologists collected and borrowed thousands of specimens of slime-mold beetles in order to study their evolution and classification. In so doing, they found more than five dozen new species never before described."
