*Once again, the prose is good, and most of the structures have been briefly explained, but some parts are somewhat overly technical. Thinking of the general public, we should add brief explanations of some terms, in the very same way you've done in ''[[Pachyballus ornatus]]''.--[[User:Daniel Cavallari|Daniel Cavallari]] ([[User talk:Daniel Cavallari|talk]]) 18:03, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

*Taking ''P. ornatus'' as a parameter, I believe the text is well-organized enough. I still think some subtitles might help casual readers find information more quickly, but I leave this entirely up to you!--[[User:Daniel Cavallari|Daniel Cavallari]] ([[User talk:Daniel Cavallari|talk]]) 18:03, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

*There are some CC-BY figures we could use from Wesołowska, Azarkina & Wiśniewski 2020. I'll arrange that.--[[User:Daniel Cavallari|Daniel Cavallari]] ([[User talk:Daniel Cavallari|talk]]) 18:03, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

*Once more, I don't think it's necessary to mention the name of each researcher who described the species in Introduction (of course, unless there's a particular reason to highlight these individuals).--[[User:Daniel Cavallari|Daniel Cavallari]] ([[User talk:Daniel Cavallari|talk]]) 18:03, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

**I have removed them.
*There were some small inconsistencies regarding the original description (e.g., Simon described the female, not male, in 1900) but I've already corrected that. I've also added the original description AND a good source for the etymology to the references, and expanded the text accordingly. Please verify!--[[User:Daniel Cavallari|Daniel Cavallari]] ([[User talk:Daniel Cavallari|talk]]) 18:03, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

**That is excellent, and really enhances the article. I have added a bit more, including a translation of the title of Simon's article.

***{{ping|Daniel Cavallari}} Thank you for all your work on this. I feel that the article is already a lot better and look forward to seeing what you can find amongst the illustrations. [[User talk:simongraham|simongraham]] ([[User talk:simongraham|talk]]) 17:27, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
