I have surfaced from my long ~~catnap~~slumber and have taken up the task of reviewing this article.

This article is stable.
This article has no tags or banner requesting clean-up.
This article is highly unlikely to contain copyvio according to Eargwig.
It is broad in its coverage- yes, this article likely summarizes everything known about this relatively obscure taxon.
It is illustrated; all images are tagged with their respective licenses.
Everything is cited to reliable sources, which are formatted correctly and linked where possible. There's a bunch of Biodiversity Library links for the older ones, which is nice.

Now for the hard part, actually reading the article:

Lede

I made some changes but the prose overall still feels a bit clunky. But the lede overall is of a good length and hits the high points of the article.

(More to come...)
