No citation for the hook fact ("reached up to 25 millimetres in length") after its mention in the article, although the fact is confirmed by ref.[1] on page 492. Citations also required for each paragraph on Y. orbiculata and Y. bartletti. The hook is not terribly interesting, but passable. I slightly modified the hook ("that species of the extinct Eocene ant" to "that one species of the extinct Eocene bulldog ant"). BabelStone (talk) 20:44, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
