 * Symbol question.svg This is a newly-promoted good article and is long enough and nominated in time. The article is well-referenced and neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. The hook is uninteresting because it uses so many technical terms with which most readers will be unfamiliar. If I am correct in thinking that Prionomyrmex is extinct and Nothomyrmecia macrops is critically endangered, that might be the basis for a hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:58, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with Cwmhiraeth's comments and I would recommend to change the hook to her suggestion. Burklemore1 (talk) 03:04, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * If I suggest a hook, we will have to wait for someone else to review it. So it would be better if you suggested an ALT1 hook, and then I will be able to review it and hopefully approve this nomination. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:04, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review. I may spell out alt hooks along with your suggestion, but need help with adding extra citations. Oceanh (talk) 23:19, 8 January 2016 (UTC)


 * ALT1: ... that the ant tribe of Prionomyrmecini has two members, of which one genus is extinct and the other is critically endangered?
 * ALT2: ... that the ant tribe Prionomyrmecini has two members, the genus Prionomyrmex being extinct and Nothomyrmecia being critically endangered?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approving ALT2 as being more satisfactory than ALT1 and striking the original hook. I have added a reference for these hooks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:06, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
