Talk:Halicephalobus mephisto

Depth: 0.8-3.6 km
The sources doesn't claim 1.3 km which is happenstance less than 2000 m, they claim something like 0.8 to 3.6 km. Fixup needed. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 11:30, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm also confused over the 1.3km/2000m part. It implies that there have been other discoveries in the remaining 700m (IE more than the 1.3km).  Lugnuts  (talk) 14:26, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Contradiction ?
The article states this to be the "deepest-living animal" ever found

and then states a previously-known species was *also* found there...

 * Same study, different place. Other species were found in shallower mines, though still very deep. J Milburn (talk) 08:13, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Sentence doesn't make sense.
"It was detected in ore recovered from deep rock fracture water in several gold mines ". This sentence doesn't make sense. Was it in the ore or the fracture water ?Eregli bob (talk) 01:13, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Plectus aquatilis?
The article refers to "a previously known species found at similar depths in the same study was Plectus aquatilis." There is no article in Wikipedia on plexus aquatilis, and apparently no other reference in all of English language Wikipedia to this organism. When was it discovered, and why is it less significant than halicephalobus mephisto? All I could find is a useless stub of an article in Swedish Wikipedia that reads in its entirety (translated), "Plectus aquatilis is part of the genus Plectus, and the family Plectidae. The species is reproductive in Sweden." Maybe somebody knowledgeable can write an article on plectus aquatilis, or at least add a sentence or two to the halicephalobus mephisto article to explain why 'mephisto' is so much more significant than 'aquatilis'?
