  • I'd merge the single sentence etymology into the taxonomy section. Single sentence sections are discouraged.
 Y Merged. Burklemore1 (talk) 16:56, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • "Tatuidris, or armadillo ants, is a rare genus of ants" Shouldn't armadilo ant be singular here?
Changed. jonkerztalk 17:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • "Analysis of DNA barcodes indicated a pattern of genetic isolation by distance" For how long?
Upon reading the source, it isn't very clear as to how long, though I may have not read it clearly. Burklemore1 (talk) 17:05, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • "Recently, Keller (2011) challenged the phylogenetic relationships of the poneromorph subfamilies (including Tatuidris)" So what is his scheme?
Removed sentence, it doesn't really belong here. jonkerztalk 00:55, 12 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • When did it diverge from other ants if it is so ancient?
I've removed "one of the earliest lineages" and "very isolated" claims from the article -- the genus is nested within the poneroids, and Leptanillinae and Martialinae both branched off earlier (it has also had a sister genus since 2014). jonkerztalk 00:05, 13 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • "Winkler extraction" Could be explained.
I've created Winkler extraction (formerly a redlink) as a redirect to Glossary of ant terms#Winkler extraction. Let me know if you'd like to see Winkler and/or Berlese extraction explained further. jonkerztalk 18:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • There are many uncommon terms under description that could be briefly explained.

I'll do this one. Burklemore1 (talk) 06:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Seems Jonkerz got this before I did, so this appears to be addressed.
  • "Until recently, no observations of live specimens were registered." Date? "Recently" will mean nothing in, say, 20 years.
Date added. jonkerztalk 18:04, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Colour could be mentioned in the intro.
Added. jonkerztalk 00:13, 13 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • "the systematic status of the tribe has been the focus of intense debate." "Intense" is too hyperbolic.
Removed word. jonkerztalk 17:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
