Protostephanus, Stephanidae

( Article history links:

... that Protostephanus was the first extinct wasp genus in the family Stephanidae (live wasp pictured) to be described from a fossil?

Article is long and new enough, hook is short enough, and hook fact is verified from the PDF source. No close paraphrasing problems noted. I copyedited the article, but could not make sense of the following sentence:

"When first described recovered and studied the age of the Florissant Formation, with a tentative Miocene date being advocated."

Once this is clarified, the hook is good to go. Sasata (talk) 08:22, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Protostephanus sentence regarding the Florissant formation's age has been copy edited, they were much better worded in my mind I guess! Also my apologies for forgetting to bold the Stephanidae link in the hook, it is supposed to be a double nomination. --Kev min § 17:29, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
