A new family of froghoppers from the American tropics (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Epipygidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Froghoppers (Cercopoidea) are divided into three families: spittlebugs or Cercopidae, which are efficient spittle-producers; Clastopteridae (including subfamily Machaerotinae, new status), inefficient spittle-producers and tube-dwellers; and the new-world tropical Epipygidae, a new family known only from small numbers of adult specimens. Epipygidae are probably single-brooded, with shortlived adults that appear to rely mainly on stored body fat as an energy source. Unlike the related spittlebugs they probably lay exposed eggs and have free-living nymphs. The new genera Epipyga (typespecies Eicissus tenuifasciatus Jacobi) and Erugissa (type-species Erugissa pachitea sp. nov.) are described and Epipyga cribrata (Lethierry), a new combination from Aphrophora, plus Eicissus decipiens Fowler and twenty-seven undescribed species are included in the family.
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.
