What people
call them.
Fifty names in wide circulation, each one checked against what the archive actually holds. 22 of them track nothing at all. Where a name does track something, the line that matters is not the star it is said to come from. It is the country whose archive holds the file.

Grey-like macrocephalic is a real working class (qualification P). The Zeta Reticuli origin traces to the Hill case and the Fish map; that correlation was later withdrawn. Our own site already says so.

Why this page exists
Most writing on this subject starts from the names and works backwards to find records that fit. This archive starts from the records, so a name only earns an entry when something in the record carries a body plan behind it. Where nothing does, the name stays on this page with the reason attached rather than quietly disappearing.
A tracked form is still only as good as its evidence tier, and most of them are Reported. Tracked means the archive has somewhere to put it, not that anyone has established it exists.
