Stability

Media

• The single photograph is correctly tagged with a copyright status, is relevant for the topic and has a suitable caption.

Copyvio

• Earwigs Copyvio Detector points to 24.2%, that is, violation unlikely; this is due to a reference title.

Taxonomy

• Is it known where the species was first described?
  • Clarified. The first examples were collected near Bakoré (hence the specific name) but they are stored in Paris.
• Explain what is phylogenetic classification, perhaps in an explanatory note.
  • Expanded with more explanation.
• The taxonomy of this species seems to jump a lot, depending on the scientist. Is there any entity that has authority over its taxonomy? Perhaps the WSC?
  • Absolutely. There has been quite a discussion in the literature. I am using the WSC name.

Description

• I think an article about a jumping spider isn't "necessarily technical", as per MOS:JARGON. A rephrase of the terminology would be good for the article.
  • I have added explanations to the terms. Please tell me if you see any I have missed.
    • @The Blue Rider: Thank you for your comments. I feel they have definitely improved the article. Please tell me if there is more. simongraham (talk) 21:29, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
      • I should wrap up this review in some moments, possibly only leaving the source review for later. The Blue Rider 22:44, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Distribution and habitat

• I feel somewhat torn about adding information about the genus, though I am more inclined to remove it since it may confuse readers.
  • Reduced to a small subclass.
• Even though it was only found in three countries, is there no predictions of its possible range?
  • Unfortunately not in the sources available.
• I think this section would be better served with a general overview rather than going on detail about specific instances of where it was found.
  • I tend to agree but unfortunately the sources encourage exact sitings. I feel it would be original research to extrapolate, but am open to your suggestions.

Lead

• thrives in savanna grasslands -> lives in savanna grasslands
  • Changed.
• Detailed descriptions of its measurements and appearance should be removed and/or trimmed.
  • Reduced.
• Specify where the first specimen was found in the lead as well.
  • Added.

Sources

• All source numbers are from this version. Checked sources:

• 6, OK.
• 19a, mostly OK; doesn't support «Some examples».
  • Removed some.
• 23a, OK.
• 23b, OK.

• @The Blue Rider: Thank you. Once again, really useful insights. simongraham (talk) 02:07, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
