Elektrithone

[edit]
  • ... that the moth lacewing Elektrithone is the first member of its family found in Baltic amber?

Created by Kevmin (talk). Self nominated at 01:56, 30 December 2014 (UTC).

  • Nominated on same day it was created, and is about 2950 characters, satisfying date and length criteria. QPQ completed. Almost the entire article is sourced to the first reference, to which I have no access. I'll assume good faith for it. I can't check for close paraphrasing, so I'll assume good faith for that also. Please don't assume that a reader will be familiar with acronyms or terms used in a particular domain; expand and/or link them for clarification, such as for CuP. (I haven't quite figured out what MP, CuA, ScA, and ScP mean, though from the info at insect wing and File:Venation of insect wing.svg, I assume "medial posterior", "cubitus anterior", "subcostal anterior", and "subcostal posterior" or some such.) These tweaks are not necessary for DYK, but would make the article somewhat more accessible to readers unfamiliar with insect morphology. Hook is short enough and sourced, for which I'll assume good faith as it uses the source I cannot access. Mindmatrix 19:50, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
  • I've made the acronym changes; please check them for accuracy. Mindmatrix 19:52, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
