Inquilines or kleptoparasites? New phlaeothripine Thysanoptera associated with domicile‐building thrips on <i>Acacia</i> trees
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Five new species of phlaeothripine Thysanoptera are described in three new genera. These thrips all live in association with other, as yet undescribed, phlaeothripine species that construct, and breed within, domiciles on the phyllodes of Acacia trees in the arid areas of Australia. The new species all have particularly unusual structures at the anterior end of the body. Crespithrips enigmaticus gen. et sp. n. and Crespithrips hesperus sp. n. both have the inner margin of antennal segment I produced into a long bifurcate tooth and the median antennal segments bear an unusual array of supernumerary small sense cones. Crespithrips enigmaticus has been found breeding within domiciles comprising pairs of glued phyllodes. These domiciles were produced on different species of Acacia by two undescribed species of an undescribed genus related to Dunatothrips Moulton. Schwarzithrips zammit gen. et sp. n. and Schwarzithrips glyphis sp. n. have the external margin of antennal segment II produced into a narrow blade, but have antennal sensoria typical of other phlaeothripines of the Liothrips ‐lineage. These species have been taken within tent‐like domiciles that are woven on the flat phyllodes of Acacia catenulata and a related species, by two undescribed species of Dunatothrips . The species pairs in these two new genera have vicariant distributions between central and western Australia. Vicinothrips bullatus gen. et sp. n. is based on a single unusual specimen from Queensland with antennal segment II uniquely swollen and rounded.

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.
