...What's his favorite? "Well, naturally I'm impressed with the ones that have been named after me." They're here somewhere, Wallace says, looking about. "There's two, up on that shelf, beside the tarantula." Small bottles are fetched down and introductions made. "This is Ozicrypta wallacei, and this one ... let me think ... it's Molycria wallacei."
