@Xwejnusgozo: Sorry but I don't know how to archive the sources. EdChem (talk) 17:12, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Promoter: I have requested access to an image of this new species (recognised in 2016), please do not promote this to prep for a little while I see if I can get the image. Thanks. EdChem (talk) 17:12, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

@Xwejnusgozo: I have added an image and modified the hook, would you please look at its acceptability? Thanks. EdChem (talk) 08:58, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

• Image free and clear, good to go. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 10:27, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

@Xwejnusgozo: I am sorry to do this, but the entomologist who discovered this species on his honeymoon has edited the article, changing the date to 2000. The sources all say 2001, so I propose an ALT hook with no date:

• (ALT1): ... that Scolopendra cataracta (pictured), the world's only known amphibian centipede, was discovered by an entomologist on his honeymoon?

Thanks, EdChem (talk) 06:22, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

• @EdChem: Yes, ALT1 is better if there is some confusion about the date of discovery. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 17:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
