Abstract
90 species of Euplectrus are treated: 55 newly described, all from Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG), and 35 previously described species, of which 20 occur in ACG. Three of the previously described species (Euplectrusbrasiliensis Ashmead, Euplectrushircinus (Say), Euplectrusronnai (Brèthes)) have unknown status, owing to missing or severely damaged type material. The new species, all authored by C. Hansson, are: Euplectrusalejandrovalerioi, Euplectrusalexsmithi, Euplectrusalvarowillei, Euplectrusandybennetti, Euplectrusandydeansi, Euplectrusannettewalkerae, Euplectrusbillbrowni, Euplectrusbobwhartoni, Euplectruscarlosarmientoi, Euplectruscarlrettenmeyeri, Euplectruscharlesmicheneri, Euplectruscharlesporteri, Euplectruschrisdarlingi, Euplectruschrisgrinteri, Euplectruscorriemoreauae, Euplectrusdaveroubiki, Euplectrusdavesmithi, Euplectrusdavidwahli, Euplectrusdianariasae, Euplectrusdonquickei, Euplectruseowilsoni, Euplectrusgarygibsoni, Euplectrusgavinbroadi, Euplectrusgerarddelvarei, Euplectrushenrytownesi, Euplectrushowelldalyi, Euplectrushugokonsi, Euplectrusiangauldi, Euplectrusjacklonginoi, Euplectrusjesusugaldei, Euplectrusjimwhitfieldi, Euplectrusjjrodriguezae, Euplectrusjohnheratyi, Euplectrusjohnlasallei, Euplectrusjohnnoyesi, Euplectrusjosefernandezi, Euplectruslubomirmasneri, Euplectrusmarkshawi, Euplectrusmikegatesi, Euplectrusmikeschauffi, Euplectrusmikesharkeyi, Euplectrusninazitaniae, Euplectruspammitchellae, Euplectruspaulhansoni, Euplectruspaulheberti, Euplectruspaulhurdi, Euplectrusphilwardi, Euplectrusrobbinthorpi, Euplectrusronaldzunigai, Euplectrusroysnellingi, Euplectrusscottshawi, Euplectrussondrawardae, Euplectrussydneycameronae, Euplectrusvictoriapookae, Euplectruswonyoungchoi. The species are described or redescribed, and thoroughly and uniformly illustrated, and included in two identification keys, one for females and one for males. Lectotypes are designated for eight species: Euplectruscatocalae Howard (♂), Euplectrusjunctus Gahan (♀), Euplectrusleucotrophis Howard (♂), Euplectrusmarginatus Ashmead (♀), Euplectruspachyscaphus Girault (♀), Euplectrusplatyhypenae Howard (♂), Euplectrussemimarginatus Girault (♀), Heteroscapusronnai Brèthes (♂). One synonym is established: Euplectruswalteri Schauff is a junior synonym of Euplectrustestaceipes (Cameron). Brief image notes and host records are provided on the natural history of the wasps as well as the details of their morphology. Hosts are known for 74 Euplectrus species.
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 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 it
