No Kelisia Fieber (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Delphacidae) in South America: New Taxonomic Placement Of Phrictopyga Vittata (Muir) Comb. Nov. from Brazil
Bibliographic record
Abstract
2Kelisia vittata Muir, 1926 is the only New World species nomenclaturally in the Kelisiinae from south of the contiguous USA. The delphacid genus Kelisia Fieber, 1866 (Kelisiinae: Kelisiini) consists of 46 species of Laurasian distribu tion, plus 2 species of uncertain status, one ( Kelisia nigripennis Muir 1929) from South Africa and one ( Kelisia vittata Muir 1926) from Brazil. In North America, Kelisia includes 12 species found from southern Canada to Texas, all of which appear to be specialized sedge feeders (Beamer 1945, 1951; Bartlett & Wheeler 2007, Bartlett et al., 2014). Muir’s (1926) illustrations of Kelisia vittata (viz. Figures 50-51) are sufficient to show that it belongs to the Delphacini (Del phac inae), not the Kelisiinae, but they are not adequate to place the genus (hence its omission by Caldwell and Martorell 1951). Muir’s type material consisted of 4 males, 3 females from Campinas, Brazil, and 1 male from ‘Villa Americana’ (both Sao Paulo state, Brazil). Here the species is briefly diagnosed based on the ‘Villa Americana’ paratype (Figure 1, from the California Academy of Sciences

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
