 * I didn't get to support the subfamily article before it was promoted, so let's try again here... FunkMonk (talk) 11:31, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking this on. Burklemore1 (talk) 16:56, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I'd merge the single sentence etymology into the taxonomy section. Single sentence sections are discouraged.
 * Merged. Burklemore1 (talk) 16:56, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * "Tatuidris, or armadillo ants, is a rare genus of ants" Shouldn't armadilo ant be singular here?
 * Changed. jonkerz ♠talk 17:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * "Analysis of DNA barcodes indicated a pattern of genetic isolation by distance" For how long?
 * Upon reading the source, it isn't very clear as to how long, though I may have not read it clearly. Burklemore1 (talk) 17:05, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * "Recently, Keller (2011) challenged the phylogenetic relationships of the poneromorph subfamilies (including Tatuidris)" So what is his scheme?
 * Removed sentence, it doesn't really belong here. jonkerz ♠talk 00:55, 12 November 2015 (UTC)


 * When did it diverge from other ants if it is so ancient?
 * I've removed "one of the earliest lineages" and "very isolated" claims from the article -- the genus is nested within the poneroids, and Leptanillinae and Martialinae both branched off earlier (it has also had a sister genus since 2014). jonkerz ♠talk 00:05, 13 November 2015 (UTC)


 * "Winkler extraction" Could be explained.
 * I've created Winkler extraction (formerly a redlink) as a redirect to Glossary of ant terms. Let me know if you'd like to see Winkler and/or Berlese extraction explained further. jonkerz ♠talk 18:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

I'll do this one. Burklemore1 (talk) 06:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * There are many uncommon terms under description that could be briefly explained.
 * Seems Jonkerz got this before I did, so this appears to be addressed.


 * "Until recently, no observations of live specimens were registered." Date? "Recently" will mean nothing in, say, 20 years.
 * Date added. jonkerz ♠talk 18:04, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Colour could be mentioned in the intro.
 * Added. jonkerz ♠talk 00:13, 13 November 2015 (UTC)


 * "the systematic status of the tribe has been the focus of intense debate." "Intense" is too hyperbolic.
 * Removed word. jonkerz ♠talk 17:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * That should be it, passed! FunkMonk (talk) 12:58, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review! jonkerz ♠talk 16:36, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
