Looks good. I've added a DOI to the reference so readers can find the resource more easily. Interesting fact! Jon Kolbert (talk) 23:25, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Overall: Upon further review, the description section could use some wikification and copyediting with linking to other relative articles, "then" is used in place when "than" should be. I would also change the first reference to specify the exact pages of relevance to the species. Jon Kolbert (talk) 23:47, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Not a fan of the review template thing, but whatever. What specifically do you feel needs wikification? I am not and have never claimed to be great at copy-editing, and it is NOT part of the reqirements for nomination or passing of a hook. The reference has been updated.--Kev min § 01:03, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

@Kevmin: It would be useful if the description section included relative links to terms used such as "mesonotum" and "propodeum" but you are right, it's not specifically a requirement for DYK. Feel free to add those if you wish, other than that this DYK is good to go. Jon Kolbert (talk) 16:47, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
