Feedback on Brachaspis nivalis

Hi there,

Just checking in on Brachaspis nivalis; it's looking good but can I suggest a couple of things:

• Use the Reuse tab I showed you when you're adding a reference a second time, rather than create two identical references. Also, that Hutton reference is almost certainly online, so it would be good to add the URL.
• No need to repeat information from one section to another, nor repeat Wiki links. Just link the first time a term appears, and only link terms that might be unfamiliar to an international audience (so New Zealand is fine, but South Island would need a link).

Plenty more to add. Who named and described the species? What are the differences between the subgroups? How would you tell the species apart from all the other Brachaspis? What's its conservations status? Do we know anything about its biology, and how does this differ from other Brachaspis? Look at all the other model articles for ideas.
