Cartwrightia, Cartwrightia cartwrighti

 * ... that an illustration (pictured) of the  Cartwrightia scarab Cartwrightia cartwrighti was printed on the invitations for entomologist Oscar Ling Cartwright's retirement party? Source: "As part of his description of that species, he included a beautiful illustration of it drawn by a friend and Scientific Illustrator, Elsie Herbold Froeschner. This illustration appeared as a logo on the invitation to his retirement party and on a gift of stationery he received at the party."
 * ALT1:... that Federico Islas Salas named the scarab genus Cartwrightia after Oscar Ling Cartwright, who in turn named Cartwrightia cartwrighti (pictured) after his brother Raymond Kenneth Cartwright? Source: "One patronym that especially delighted him was the scarab genus Cartwrightia, dedicated to him by a Mexican colleague, Federico Islas, in 1958. Nine years later, [...] Cartwright named a new species in "his" genus for his brother who had occasionally collected aphodiine scarabs for him".

 * Comment: I figured since the image is public domain I'd add it as an option, but I'm not deadset on having it; the hook might be better in the "quirky" slot instead :)
 * Additional comment: I'm also neutral about writing C. cartwrighti instead for brevity since the genus is spelled out earlier

 * Symbol voting keep.svg These two articles are long enough and new enough. The various hook facts are cited inline and the image is in the public domain. The articles are neutral and I detected no policy issues. I will leave the choice of hook to the promoter. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:04, 7 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I just realized having ALT2 end with "was named by Oscar Ling Cartwright after his brother" made it sound really awkward so I've struck the final three words, but that shouldn't be an issue. Umimmak (talk) 19:44, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
