Conicocassis, a new genus of Arcellinina (testate lobose amoebae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Superfamily Arcellinina (informally known as thecamoebians or testate lobose amoebae) are a group of shelled benthic protists common in most Quaternary lacustrine sediments. They are found worldwide, from the equator to the poles, living in a variety of fresh to brackish aquatic and terrestrial habitats. More than 130 arcellininid species and strains are ascribed to the genus Centropyxis Stein, 1857 within the family Centropyxidae Jung, 1942, which includes species that are distinguished by having a dorsoventral-oriented and flattened beret-like test (shell). Conicocassis, a new arcellininid genus of Centropyxidae differs from other genera of the family, specifically genus Centropyxis and its type species C. aculeata (Ehrenberg, 1932), by having a unique test comprised of two distinct components; a generally ovoid to subspherical, dorsoventral-oriented test body, with a pronounced asymmetrically positioned, funnellike flange extending from a small circular aperture. The type species of the new genus, Conicocassis pontigulasiformis The occurrence of the species in lacustrine environments in the central Northwest Territories extends the known geographic distribution of the genus in North America considerably southward.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
