edit- ... that, when described, the brown lacewing species Wesmaelius mathewesi was the most ancient member of its subfamily?

Fancy meeting a fellow paleo guy here! ;) Anyway, I guess I'll be your reviewer today, Kev. Newness: Good. Length: Good. Policy: Probably good, but I do have some questions of fact. Is the word "cubiatla" a typo? I can't find it in the paper. Also, can you point me to the location of the contents of your description in the original paper? I'm having trouble finding it, probably because of by own unfamiliarity with the terminology used in there; I have background in entomology. Also, how can this taxon be Eocene to recent if it is only known from one fossil? I think you should keep it at just Eocene because the article is about W. matthewesi specifically instead of Wesmaelius overall. Hook: Good. QPQ:Good. Abyssal (talk) 19:32, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
