Revision of Alaptus (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) in the Holarctic region, with taxonomic notes on some extralimital species
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Holarctic species of Alaptus Westwood (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) are revised and illustrated. An identification key to females of 17 species (16 named) is provided. The known distribution ranges are given, including new records of the extralimital specimens examined. Four newly described taxa are A. huberi sp. n. (Ontario, Canada), A. klonx sp. n. (Florida, Michigan and New York, USA), A. plih sp. n. (Sakhalin Island, Russia), and A. santetrapsi sp. n. (Far East of Russia as well as Alberta, Ontario and Yukon, Canada). The following new synonymies are proposed: A. extremus Soyka, syn. n., A. magnus Cheke & Turner, syn. n., and A. novickyi Soyka, syn. n. under A. fusculus Walker; A. priesneri Soyka, syn. n. under A. iceryae Riley; A. globosicornis variety hawaiiensis Girault, syn. n. and A. peregrinus (Perkins), syn. n. under A. globosicornis Girault; A. antillanus Cheke & Turner, syn. n. and A. caecilii Girault, syn. n. under A. immaturus Perkins; A. aegyptiacus Soyka, syn. n., A. auranti (García Mercet), syn. n., A. borinquensis Dozier, syn. n., A. intonsipennis Girault, syn. n., A. maccabei Girault, syn. n., A. maidli Soyka, syn. n., and A. malchinensis Soyka, syn. n. under A. minimus Westwood; Metalaptus torquatus Malenotti, syn. n. (from the previous synonymy under A. auranti), A. pechlaneri Soyka, syn. n., and A. psocidivorus Gahan, syn. n. under A. pallidicornis Foerster; A. globularis Sveum & Solem, syn. n. under A. schmitzi Soyka; and A. richardsi Hincks, syn. n. and A. tritrichosus Maláč, syn. n. under A. stammeri Soyka. Alaptus terebrans Kryger, stat. rev. is resurrected as a valid taxon from its previous synonymy under A. extremus, and A. globosicornis variety australiensis Girault is given species rank as A. australiensis Girault, stat. n. Lectotypes are designated for A. andersoni Ferrière, A. borinquensis, A. caecilii, A. eriococci Girault, A. foersteri Soyka, A. globosicornis, A. iceryae, A. malchinensis, A. pallidicornis, A. stammeri, Leimacis peregrinus Perkins, and Parvulinus auranti García Mercet; and neotypes are designated for A. excisus Westwood and A. immaturus. Taxonomic notes on six extralimital species of Alaptus are provided.
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.
