<i>Ceratozetes</i>and<i>Ceratozetoides</i>(Acari: Oribatida: Ceratozetidae) of North America
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The oribatid mite genusCeratozetesBerlese is represented in America north of Mexico by 21 previously described species known from forest, grassland, subarctic and arctic soils and litter, and canopy habitats. The closely related genusCeratozetoidesShaldybina is represented in America north of Mexico only byC. cisalpinus(Berlese). Three new species ofCeratozetesfrom North America are described:C. biporosussp. nov.from forest habitats of southeastern North America,C. cyclopeasp. nov.from montane habitats in western North America, andC. pseudomediocrissp. nov.from forest habitats of western North America. A detailed revised diagnosis is given forCeratozetes,Ceratozetoides, all previously described species ofCeratozetes(C. angustus(Banks),C. borealisBehan-Pelletier,C. cuspidatusJacot,C. enodis(Ewing),C. fjellbergiBehan-Pelletier,C. gracilisMichael,C. kutchinBehan-Pelletier,C. longispinusJacot,C. mediocris(Berlese),C. oresbiosBehan-Pelletier,C. pacificusBehan-Pelletier,C. parvulusSellnick,C. spitsbergensisThor,C. subaquila(Ewing),C. subinconspicuus(Berlese),C. thienemanniWillmann,C. virginicus(Banks), andC. watertonensisBehan-Pelletier), andCeratozetoides cisalpinus.Ceratozetes figuratus(Ewing) andC. zeteki(Ewing) are considered junior subjective synonyms ofC. enodis(Ewing)syn. nov., andC. inupiaqBehan-Pelletier is transferred to Mycobatidae asCyrtozetes inupiaq(Behan-Pelletier)comb. nov. New distribution records are given forCeratozetoides cisalpinusandCeratozetes angustus,C. borealis,C. cuspidatus,C. gracilis,C. mediocris,C. longispinus,C. oresbios,C. pacificus,C. parvulus,C. thienemanni,C. virginicus, andC. watertonensis.A diagnostic key is provided to adults of theCeratozetesandCeratozetoidesspecies now known for America north of Mexico. An analysis of the systematic relationships of 23 of these species based on adult characters indicates thatCeratozetes, excludingCeratozetoides, is paraphyletic. The clade that includesCeratozetoides cisalpinusand 15 species ofCeratozetesincludes most species for which immatures are known. One sister clade includesCeratozetes cyclopea,C. enodis, andC. fjellbergiand another includesC. kutchin, C. parvulus, andC. thienemanni.The decision whether or not these 6 species should be retained inCeratozetessensu strictoawaits discovery of their immatures and molecular analysis.

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.
