Pterinoxylus spinulosus

 * ... that the first adult female Pterinoxylus spinulosus was described in 1957, some fifty years after the first male? Source: "P. spinulosus was described by Redtenbacher (1908) from a single adult male and an immature female. The first adult female was described in 1957 by Rehn."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg eligibility for DYK is from this article having been created on 20 December and nominated four days later. The prose section is long enough. There are only two sources used although both are reliable and available online. The text of the article is neutral and policy-compliant. I did not detect any close paraphrasing or copyright issues. The hook is short enough, interesting enough, policy-compliant and sourced on page 195–6 of the Robinson source. There is no image included in the nomination. QPQ has been declared. Good to go.
