• ... that the extinct mantidfly Feroseta prisca has bristle covered pterostigma?

• Reviewed: Trithemis annulata

• 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.

I have read the original paper. The article text mentions "However all wings are equally devoid of both pigmentisation and sclerotisation, and the region of the pterostigmae contains." Hence I'll grant you the hook. AshLin (talk) 18:30, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
