World revision of Xenomerus Walker (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea, Platygastridae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Old World genus Xenomerus Walker is revised. Thirty one (31) species are recognized based on 879 specimens. Twenty four (24) new species are described: X. armatus (Oriental), X. aureipes (Ethiopian), X. bickeli (Australian), X. comatus (Ethiopian), X. fulleri (Australian), X. gloriosus (Australian), X. guinensis (Australian), X. halteratus (Australian), X. hilleri (Australian), X. feehani (Ethiopian), X. kalocsai (Ethiopian), X. malawi (Ethiopian), X. melikai (Australian), X. melleus (Australian), X. noyesi (Oriental), X. ochraceus (Ethiopian, Oriental), X. orientalis (Oriental), X. parorientalis (Oriental), X. rugifrons (Oriental), X. scutellatus (Ethiopian), X. spinosus (Oriental), X. vanharteni (Ethiopian), X. watshami (Ethiopian) and X. yamagishii (Oriental, Palaearctic). Redescriptions and new combinations for the following species are provided: Xenomerus buccatus (Kononova & Kozlov) from Trimorus; Xenomerus calligetus (Kononova & Kozlov) from Trimorus; X. cornutus (Kononova & Kozlov) from Trimorus. Xenomerus canariensis Huggert, X. ergenna Walker, X. laticeps Dodd and X. varipes Dodd are redescribed. New synonymies are proposed: Trimorus mutator Kononova & Kozlov = X. canariensis Huggert, Trimorus curtum Kononova & Kozlov = X. ergenna Walker, Xenomerus hibernicus Mineo & O’Connor = X. canariensis Huggert. Xenomerus latimetascutum Szabo is transferred to Trimorus. Xenomerus atomus Rajmohana & Narendran, Xenomerus indicus Mukerjee, Xenomerus solox Kozlov et Lé, Xenomerus forax Kozlov et Lé and Xenomerus flavicornis Dodd are considered species of uncertain status (holotypes not aviable). An identification key is provided, and four species groups are proposed.
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.
