Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Revelosa”, the useful work is to connect “genus of woodlice” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q139199018. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025 and 1908.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
