Revision of world species of the genus Heptascelio Kieffer (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea, Platygastridae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The world species of the genus Heptascelio Kieffer (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea, Platygastridae) are revised. The generic concept is expanded and the genus is redescribed. Eighteen species are recognized, of which only two were described previously: H. lugens Kieffer (Philippines) and H. striatosternus Narendran & Ramesh Babu (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Madagascar). Both species are redescribed, and H. punctisternus Narendran & Ramesh Babu is considered a junior synonym of H. striatosternus (new synonymy). The following species are described as new: H. albipes Masner, van Noort & Johnson, n.sp. (Cameroon, Gabon, Uganda); H. anthonyi Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Zimbabwe); H. aquilinus Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (South Africa); H. bivius Johnson & Masner, n.sp. (Indonesia); H. castor Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Indonesia, Malaysia); H. dayi Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Indonesia); H. dispar Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Botswana, Namibia, South Africa); H. hamatus Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan); H. lateralis Johnson, van Noort & Masner (Central African Republic, Gabon); H. noyesi Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Madagascar); H. orarius Johnson & Masner, n.sp. (Madagascar); H. paralugens Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Philippines); H. sicarius Johnson & Musetti, n.sp. (Madagascar), H. strigatus Masner, Johnson & van Noort, n.sp. (Gabon, Central African Republic); H. teres Johnson & Masner, n.sp. (Madagascar), and H. watshami Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Zimbabwe). Heptascelio watshami has been reared from the eggs of Plagiotriptus pinivorus Descamps (Orthoptera: Thericleidae), a pest of pine. An electronic version of the identification key is available at WaspWeb at http://www.waspweb.org/ Platygastroidea/Keys/. The electronic version of this document has been formatted with embedded links to additional resources available online via the internet both to enhance the content and as a demonstration of the utility of international standards for biodiversity informatics.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
