Two new genera of fungal trichomycetes, <i>Bactromyces</i> and <i>Laculus</i> (Harpellales), from Nova Scotia, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The gut lumen of immature aquatic insects is colonized by a unique community of protistan and fungal organisms, collectively called trichomycetes. The species diversity of fungal trichomycetes appears to be high, with new taxa published regularly. Bactromyces fluminalis and Laculus insecticola , species belonging to two new genera of fungal trichomycetes, are described from stonefly and mayfly nymphs, respectively. Bactromyces fluminalis was collected from a stream habitat in Long Lake Provincial Park, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, while Laculus insecticola was found in a lentic environment (Governor Lake) in Timberlea, Nova Scotia, a suburb within the Halifax Regional Municipality. In addition to these new taxa, a new species, Pteromaktron timberleaense , in this previously monotypic genus is described from the hindgut of a mayfly collected from a stream in Timberlea, Nova Scotia. This discovery makes new material available for study, since it appears the type specimen for this genus is lost.

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.
