SHORT COMMUNICATION Reestablishment of the species Poeciloneta bellona (Araneae: Linyphiidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Poeciloneta bellona Chamberlin and Ivie 1943 is removed from synonymy established by Saaristo and Tanasevitch (2000) and re-described using new and existing specimens from the Rocky Mountains. Incestophantes calcaratus (Emerton 1909) is re-described and transfered to Poeciloneta Kulczynski 1894 and a lectotype is designated. The genus Poeciloneta Kulczynski 1894 is an uncommonly collected genus represented by 16 species worldwide, of which 12 species, including the two discussed in this paper, occur in North America (Platnick 2009). The spiders are found throughout Canada, in the northeastern United States, and in the mountains of the western United States. The spiders are usually collected from low branches and shrubs in coniferous forests. Tanasevitch (1989) reviewed the palaearctic species in the genus and noted that Poeciloneta bellona Chamberlin and Ivie 1943 & P. canionis Chamberlin and Ivie 1943, based on the original descriptions, no longer belonged to Poeciloneta, but made no further note as to the placement of the two species. Later Saaristo and Tanasevitch (2000) redefined the Bolyphantes-Poeciloneta genus group and synonymized P. bellona with I. calcaratus (Emerton 1909) transferring the two the species to Incestophantes based on non-type specimens held at the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Fresh specimens of P. bellona deposited at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science were collected from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado that closely matched Chamberlin and Ivie's (1943) original description and showed clear differences from existing descriptions of P. calcaratus. All applicable specimens were examined from the MCZ collection and it was found that no P. bellona were in the collection, which may account for the mistaken synonymy made by Saaristo and Tanasevitch. Additional specimens used for descriptions and compar- isons came from the arachnid collection of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Denver, Colorado (DMNS); the Canadian National Collection, Ottowa, Canada (CNC); and the personal collection of Don Buckle, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada (DB). Inquiries were made as to the location of type material at the American

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.
