Abstract
ABSTRACT A new feather mite genus and species Afroproterothrix marginata n. gen., n. sp. is described from the western black-headed oriole, Oriolus brachyrhynchus Swainson, 1837 (Passeriformes: Oriolidae), in Cameroon. The new genus belongs to the Proterothrix generic group and is most similar to the genus Nanopterodectes Mironov, Citation2009 by the loss of idiosomal setae d2, f2 and by having solenidia s1 and ?3 on legs I subequal in length. The genus Afroproterothrix differs from Nanopterodectes by the following combination of features: in both sexes, idiosomal setae c1 and trochanteral setae sRIII are absent, idiosomal setae e2 are present, the humeral shields on dorsal surface of the hysterosoma are not developed; in males, the opisthosomal lobes are poorly developed, the branches of the genital arch are well developed; in females, the hysteronotal shield is not divided into anterior and lobar parts. Brief comments on the systematics of the subfamily Pterodectinae are given.

The material used in the investigation belongs to the collection UFC ZIN No 2-2.20 (Collection of Zoological Institute RAS, Saint Petersburg, Russia). The authors thank Dr. Heather C. Proctor (University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada) for critically reviewing the manuscript. Notes 1This genus was originally described under the name Nanodectes Mironov, Citation2008 (in: Mironov et al., Citation2008a); since this name was already in use (Nanodectes Rentz, 1985, Insecta: Orthoptera), it was substituted with the new name Nanopterodectes (Mironov, Citation2009).

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
