Reviewer: Sasata (talk) 19:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC) Hi, I'll be reviewing this article. Comments in a day or 2. Sasata (talk) 19:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Excellent work as usual. Just a few comments:
- wlink/wikt link for reticulations in the lead
- Done
- should Urolophus jamaicensis be put as a synonym in the taxobox?
- My own policy is to only include original combinations in the synonyms box
- "…and inserts a single claspers into her cloaca." clasper or claspers?
- Fixed
- any lifespan info?
- Added
- anything worthwhile to add from the following?

- I added brief notes about the hearing threshold and the brain size; the circulatory system info is probably too esoteric for the general reader (and for me).
Let me know of further issues. -- Yzx (talk) 18:22, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
