Elephantomyia irinae

 * ... that, when described, at least five males of the crane fly Elephantomyia irinae (pictured) were known from Baltic amber?


 * Reviewed: Dysidea arenaria
 * Comment: Coren bot notice is a false positive of a bad wiki mirror. :-/

 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough when nominated. Long enough at 2,626 characters. Article is neutral and cites sources with inline citations. Copyvios confidence 2.0% excluding a false positive. Hook is short enough and cited to an offline source. QPQ done. sstflyer 07:40, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Forgot image: it is on Commons, and I have verified that it is released under the correct license. Good to go. sstflyer 07:43, 25 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg I have returned this from prep as I cannot see any mention of "six males" of the species anywhere in the article. Gatoclass (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * please respond. Gatoclass (talk) 12:34, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Corrected, I somehow transposed five specimens with six species when writing the hook. there are five specimens known.-- Kev  min  § 13:08, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * , it still doesn't mention that all five specimens are male. Gatoclass (talk) 07:51, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It does actually. That is found in the table on page two of the paper where Kania lists the specimens examined in the study. The entry for E. irinae list five specimens and lists all of them as male.-- Kev  min  § 10:04, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the hook fact must be mentioned in the article itself, not just the source. Gatoclass (talk) 10:13, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It is there now, I see that it was not in the article for some reason.-- Kev min  § 14:56, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
