The suspected synonymy of <i>Kampimodromus hmiminai</i> and <i>Kampimodromus adrianae</i> (Acari: Phytoseiidae): morphological and molecular investigations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Kampimodromus hmiminai McMurtry and Bounfour, 1989 and Kampimodromus adrianae Ferragut and Peña-Estévez, 2003 are two morphogically close species belonging to the family Phytoseiidae. They are the only two species within the genus Kampimodromus Nesbitt, 1951 that bear six solenostomes and a reduced ventrianal shield. Only some characters, such as the idiosomal seta lengths, idiosomal dorsal ornamentation, and setae ornamentation, distinguish them. Kampimodromus hmiminai has being reported from France and Morocco and K. adrianae from the Canary Islands. Our study tests the hypothesis of synonymy between these two species, using morphological measurements and molecular typing (mtDNA, cytochrome C oxidase I (COI)). The differences in idiosomal setae lengths between K. adrianae and K. hmiminai seem to be large enough to support their species status. However, genetic distances between these two species correspond to an intraspecific range of variation. According to the present data, K. adrianae and K. hmiminai could be considered synonyms, with morphologic differentiation as a result of geographic isolation. This result indicates that comparative setal length, seta serration, and dorsal shield ornementation should be used with caution for species differentiation within the genus Kampimodromus .

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
