Thalasseleotrididae, new family of marine gobioid fishes from New Zealand and temperate Australia, with a revised definition of its sister taxon, the Gobiidae (Teleostei: Acanthomorpha)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Thalasseleotrididae n. fam. is erected to include two marine genera, Thalasseleotris Hoese & Larson from temperate Aus-tralia and New Zealand, and Grahamichthys Whitley from New Zealand. Both had been previously classified in the familyEleotrididae. The Thalasseleotrididae is demonstrably monophyletic on the basis of a single synapomorphy: membraneconnecting the hyoid arch to ceratobranchial 1 broad, extending most of the length of ceratobranchial 1 (= first gill slitrestricted or closed). The family represents the sister group of a newly diagnosed Gobiidae on the basis of five synapo-morphies: interhyal with cup-shaped lateral structure for articulation with preopercle; laterally directed posterior processon the posterior ceratohyal supporting the interhyal; pharyngobranchial 4 absent; dorsal postcleithrum absent; urohyalwithout ventral shelf. The Gobiidae is defined by three synapomorphies: five branchiostegal rays; expanded and medially-placed ventral process on ceratobranchial 5; dorsal hemitrich of pelvic-fin rays with complex proximal head. This studyrepresents a contribution to our ongoing clarification of the family Eleotrididae, which has served historically as a repository for genera not classified among the more derived gobioids (= Gobiidae as defined here).
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.
