 * I will review this. Chris857 (talk) 03:13, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Article is brand new ( and so is the topic )
 * About 2700 characters
 * Only one ref, but the species was only discovered in 2012, so it is acceptable
 * Neutral, cited inline
 * Hook is brief and interesting
 * Image from appropriately-licensed journal
 * QPQ done


 * Issues:
 * I see Amarantoraphidia mentioned only once, what is its relevance to Alavaraphidia?
 * "stripped pattering" - should this be "striped patterning"?


 * More review to come. Chris857 (talk) 03:30, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for spotting those two mistakes. Amarantoraphidia was corrected to Alavaraphidia and the spelling was corrected to "striped patterning"-- Kev  min  § 07:48, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I detected no copyvio (they use so many abbreviations) and everything is verified except "Alavaraphidia imperterrita is one of six described snakefly species...". Where in the source is this? I notice that you mentioned in your last two dyks. Chris857 (talk) 03:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * See Table two of Pérez-de la Fuente 2012.-- Kev min  § 06:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I see it now, six species from Spain and three larvae. Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go. Chris857 (talk) 17:34, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
