This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ is not needed here. I have added other editors to the credits. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:58, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jens Lallensack: thank you for the feedback! I have added some stuff from source 10 into the article, and will add the book itself to the "selected works section". As for the reference – I believe A.W.L. are the initials of the reviewer of the work (from the Annals of the Entomological Society of America; preview available for free here), but I could be wrong. If there is anything else missing, please let me know! —AFreshStart (talk) 20:01, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
