New and long enough, the image appears to be properly licensed as per the terms of use for its source (Plos One), stating "Articles and accompanying materials published by PLOS on the PLOS Sites, unless otherwise indicated, are licensed by the respective authors of such articles for use and distribution by you subject to citation of the original source in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.", QPQ review performed, checks for copyvio reveals no problems (e.g. [1]).

A problem is that while content of the hook is backed with an inline citation to a reliable source in the article, the article it links to does not mention a pollen basket made of long setae. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:21, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

@Northamerica1000: It does in both the genus and species diagnosis, the paper used the entomology term corbicula, rather then the vernacular term is all. see the pollen basket article for verification of the term synonymy. :-) --Kev min § 15:51, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

@Kevmin: Thanks for the reply. The source states that genus Euglossopteryx has "metatibia corbiculate, with long fringe of setae along border", so all appears to be in order. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:03, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
