...Toulouse and took away documents. An Airbus spokesman says the company doesn't comment on legal affairs. Sabena was in trouble for years. Founded in 1923, it flew routes across Europe and within the Congo, Belgium's African colony, and grew rapidly in its late-1940s-and-1950s heyday. Then came the end of the colonial period, the 1970s fuel shocks, labor strife and mounting losses requiring regular government bailouts. By the 1980s Sabena was being lampooned as a bottomless pit.

That it took four years to identify Nannarrup hoffmani is a testament to how far out of favor the science of taxonomy has fallen since its heyday in the 19th century. The urge to classify the world's flora and fauna, which filled the great natural-history museums like New York City's American Museum of Natural History and Washington's Smithsonian Institution, has been eclipsed according to Hoffman by a preoccupation with molecular biology.
