The article is new and long enough. It seems well sourced but I am concerned about citation 2 not mentioning the ant at all. It is a bit difficult to verify. QPQ done. Hook properly formated and sourced. Surtsicna (talk) 21:04, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Surtsicna: Ref 2 to is providing supporting reference for the age of the amber and for the geographic area the amber specimens are mined from. I apologize though, I got the wrong reference tags on the description section! I have corrected them to reflect LaPolla as the source reference.--Kevmin § 22:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
