- New!
- Prose size (text only): 2765 characters (451 words) "readable prose size"
- Adequately cited. NPOV.
- No copyvio per Earwig's copyvio detector.
- Hook inaccurate. The abstract of the cited ref says otherwise ie that a defining characteristic of the genus is "the absence of a pterostigma in all wings". AshLin (talk) 11:33, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Kevmin:, please reconcile & amend hook & text to be accurate. AshLin (talk) 11:33, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- @AshLin: As noted in the article itself the hook is accurate, the pterostigmal space, rather then being sclerotized and darkened is clear on all four wing. INSTEAD, the pterostigmal space has a coating of bristles, as pictured in the second figure of the holotype, and from which the generic name is derived. --Kevmin § 15:19, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- So far as I understand, the pterostigma is a cell on a wing, demarcated by venation. Per abstract, there is no pterostigma, ie it implies that there is no cell. The hook says otherwise.
