Binburrum

: This is a genus of Pyrochroidae. These beetles are found exclusively in Australia.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Binburrum&oldid=1124756957 Their species are:
:* Binburrum angusticollis Pollock, 1995
:* Binburrum articuno Hsiao and Pollock, 2020
:* Binburrum bifoveicollis (Lea, 1917)
:* Binburrum concavifrons Pollock, 1995
:* Binburrum ephippiatum (Wilson, 1926)
:* Binburrum moltres Hsiao and Pollock, 2020
:* Binburrum ruficollis (Champion, 1895)
:* Binburrum zapdos Hsiao and Pollock, 2020
: B. articuno, moltres, and zapdos were named after the Legendary Bird Trio of the Pokémon franchise. Like some other newly discovered bugs, they were given popular names in part because the scientists could, because when else are they going to get a chance to name something after a Pokémon? They had three bugs on hand, so they gotta be a trio, right? But also because their rare and bug conservation is poorly done, by allowing them to have more popular names their work gets more famous, and the bugs are more likely to have people help them survive.
