A new genus of Staphylinina and a review of major lineages (Staphylinidae: Staphylininae: Staphylinini)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Despite their familiarity to most naturalists, the large rove beetles of the subtribe Staphylinina are poorly understood systematically and have never been the subject of a focused phylogenetic analysis. Within a total evidence analytical framework, an unusual Staphylinina from China was demonstrated to be the sister group of Ontholestes and was described as Lesonthotes vulneratus Smetana and Brunke, gen. et sp. nov. Based on these results, Ontholestes was morphologically redefined and the Cingulatus group of species was established. The Neotropical genus Leistotrophus was resolved as a member of Ontholestes, within the latter clade but synonymy was avoided until molecular data are available for the former. Ontholestes lowi Rougemont, 2016 syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of Ontholestes borneensis Cameron, 1942. We also confirmed the existence of and morphologically defined three major lineages within Staphylinina, of which two were previously based on molecular data only. This study builds on previous work by Smetana and Davies (2000 Smetana, A., & Davies, A. (2000). Reclassification of the North Temperate Taxa Associated with Staphylinus Sensu Lato, including comments on relevant subtribes of Staphylinini (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae). American Museum Novitates, 3287, 1–88. doi:10.1206/0003-0082(2000)287<0001:ROTNTT>2.0.CO;2[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) and lays the framework for more extensive analysis of the subtribe. Our results emphasize the continued value of morphological characters in a total evidence framework for resolving the systematics of charismatic but poorly explored groups. www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:776F033D-4556-483C-8725-707E1B02C040

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.
