 * Thanks, . I happen to have arrived here via a different route, and used the exisiting citations and a couple from the List of things named after David Attnborough article. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:09, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Species or genus?
The article name appears to be the genus (which I assume is a single-species one at present), but the article did not explain this, and only the species was bolded. I'm not sure what the rules are about articles for genus and species, but I have attempted to make it a bit more comprehensible to the layperson, and have also added a redirect from Attenborites janeae.

 * The article is about the only species in the genus Attenborites. The genus Attenborites is monotypic which means that the article focuses more on the species. An introduction to a species in a monotypic genus seems repetitive and plus the Taxobox of the article already includes most information about the subject (Binomial & species part).
