Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose it because it is a genus from a poorly known, but fascinating, family of flies. It is important because spreading understanding of insect diversity may make people more inclined to protect them. My first impression of the article is that there isn't much written in it.

It has a brief summary of what the genus is and a list of species in it, but not much else. It's not biased because no sort of opinion is given on the genus, and the whole article is really only two sentences long. The image helps show what a representative of this genus may look like and is captioned clearly. What little is written is clear, and the many species listed are sourced from academic references. I think it could benefit from having more information about the biology and characteristics of the genus. There is nothing on the talk page, and the article is part of projects to make articles on insects and flies.
