<I>Brentidae of the World (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea)</I>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A. Sforzi and L. Bartolozzi, Monografia Museo Regionale di Science Naturali, Torino, 2004, 976 pp., $63 (hard), ISBN 88-86041-35-7 Alessandra Sforzi and Luca Bartolozzi have contributed an almost 1,000-page book dealing with one of the oddest of the curculionoid families, Brentidae. Brentids are easily recognized by their elongate body form; straight antenna; and long, often remarkably sexually dimorphic rostrum. The one common species in the United States is Arrenodes minutus (Drury), the oak timberworm, which extends over much of the eastern states from Canada south to Mexico. Much of the literature on these beetles is scattered, and this book strives to bring it all together in one place. Although the primary goal of the publication is to serve as a taxonomic resource, information on morphology, distribution, biology, and behavior also is presented. The book opens with a short Foreword and Preface and continues with five separately authored contributions on the major subdivisions of the family Brentidae (in the traditional sense): Antliarhininae (odd African weevils that feed on cycads), Cyladinae (sweetpotato weevil and relatives), Eurhynchinae (poorly known weevils from Australia and New Guinea), and Microcerinae (African desert weevils).

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.
