... that the extinct fly Schwenckfeldina archoica has spines on its genitalia?

Article is new and long enough; hook is short and interesting; hook fact verified from source. I'm not sure if "has" should be "had": it's extinct, and so does no longer exist; but the holotype specimen is real and has the spines. Opinions? Sasata (talk) 05:26, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Has is my preference, as the species does exist currently and any new male specimens of the species will have the spines also.--Kev min § 15:16, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
