Trichobaris trinotata edit

  • ... that the potato stalk borer gets its scientific name from three dark spots where the grey scales that cover its body are absent? Source: "These three spots are the basis for the species name "trinotata"."
    • ALT1:... that the potato stalk borer used to be considered a serious pest of potatoes, but this is no longer the case?

  • Either hook is good to go on an AGF basis, as I cannot see the specific page supporting either hook on Google Books. I like the ALT better, but the 1st hook is fine. Article is long enough, new enough and adequately referenced. Found no copyvios using Duplication Detector on the online sources. QPQ done. Rlendog (talk) 14:41, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
