A review of the genus<i>Phthitia</i>Enderlein (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae: Limosininae) in New Zealand, with the description of two new species.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Phthitia Enderlein, 1938 (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae) is a cosmopolitan genus common throughout New Zealand, where it is often associated with moist, decaying vegetation. New data on species distributions and habitat associations are presented based on the examination of over 2000 specimens of Phthitia collected from the North and South Islands. Descriptions of two new species, Phthitia plesiocercus and Phthitia emarginata, are given along with a dichotomous key to the seven species of Pthitia now known to occur in New Zealand. Both of the newly described species belong to an endemic New Zealand clade. Phthitia plesiocercus appears to be associated with deposits of decomposing freshwater algae and most specimens were taken on or near lake shorelines. Phthitia emarginata was collected exclusively in traps baited with rotted Agaricus mushrooms in woodlands towards the east of the South Island.

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.
