Abstract
The different species of tabanids and their zoogeographical distribution in the North Region of Cameroon needs to be updated following the preliminary study of Ovazza and collaborators in 1970. To achieve this, an inventory of tabanids in three key ecological zones of North Cameroon was implemented with a modified Manitoba trap (Sevi), Nzi, Vavoua and Laveissire traps (n=39); identification was made using standard keys. The total number of tabanids captured was 723, belonging to the following species: Tabanus gratus (42.32%), Chrysops distinctipennis (19.50%), T. taeniola (13.83%), T. biguttatus (8.99%), T. sufis (8.29%) and T.par (7.05%). The six species identified were common in all the three ecozones. The species in the different genera identified showed significant (P0.05) differences in body and wing length. Tabanids abundance was biotope-dependent that is-Zone 26; 282/723 (39.0%), Zone 27; 230/723 (31.8%) and Mbele 211/723 (29.2%). Based on the diversity index of the various tabanid species, Mbele was most diversified in terms of species-type, followed by Zone 27 and lastly by Zone 26. C. distinctipennis and T. sufis were identified in the Northern region, for the first time. This has added to the already existing list of tabanids of Cameroon and will be a necessary element for future control in the North Region of this country.

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 it
