Abstract
To determine the identity of the Galapagos Cosmopterigidae I compared specimens collected in the Galapagos with the type specimens of the species described from the Nearctic and Neotropical regions available at the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. (USNM), at The Natural History Museum, London (BMNH), and at the Cornell University Insect Collection, Ithaca, New York (CUIC), or with specimens identified by R.W. Hodges (USNM) for a few North American species for which I did not see the holotype.These collections contained the specimens I needed to examine except for the types of two Neotropical Cosmopterix species.These types belong to the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NMW), and they had been borrowed by J.C. Koster of The Netherlands, who is revising the Neotropical fauna of Cosmopterigidae.With the descriptions and illustrations I sent to Mr. Koster, he determined that the two Cosmopterix species are different from those present in the Galapagos, and he confirmed my suspicion that three of the Galapagos Cosmopterix species were undescribed.For examination of the genitalia the specimens were dissected in a concentrated (20%) hot KOH solution.Dissected parts were kept in lactic acid stained with orange G for examination and illustration purposes.They were subsequently stained in chlorazol black before being mounted on slide in Euparal.Genitalia were sketched with a camera lucida mounted on a compound microscope.The drawings were finished in pencil with a stereo-microscope, inked and scanned at high resolution.The resulting electronic files were cleaned in Adobe Photoshop and grouped on plates with Adobe Illustrator before being printed.The specimens treated here will be deposited in the "Muséum d'histoire naturelle," Geneva, Switzerland (MHNG), my personal collection (BLC), the BMNH, the Canadian National Collection of Insects and Arachnids (CNC), the collection of the ECCD, and the USNM.SYSTEMATIC TREATMENT Cosmopterix Hübner Redescribed by Hodges (1978), this cosmopolitan genus includes about 200 species (J.C.Koster, pers.comm.).Key to the Cosmopterix species of the Galapagos Islands 1 Forewing base (before fascia) brown with thin longitudinal white lines 2 Landry, Bernard.2001."The Cosmopterigidae (Lepidoptera) of the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador."

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.
