Revision of the Genus Laccoproctus Schoenherr (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Molytinae: Conotrachelini), with New Species from Mexico and Guatemala
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The previously monotypic genus Laccoproctus Schoenherr is revised. In addition to the one known Mexican species, Laccoproctus acalloides Boheman, nine new species are described as follows: Laccoproctus anneae Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Mexico: Guerrero, Hidalgo, Puebla, San Luis Potosí, Veracruz); Laccoproctus burkei Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Mexico: Veracruz, Chiapas); Laccoproctus chiapanecus Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Mexico: Chiapas); Laccoproctus elegantulus Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Mexico: Hidalgo); Laccoproctus nigrinus Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Guatemala); Laccoproctus occidentalis Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Mexico: Colima); Laccoproctus similis Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Mexico: Puebla); Laccoproctus truncatus Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Mexico: Estado de México); and Laccoproctus zunilensis Anderson and O'Brien, new species (Guatemala). A key to the now 10 known species is presented. The genus is proposed as closely related to Aenesias Champion, Lepilius Champion, Enomides Champion, and Plumolepilius Barrios-Izas and Anderson and placed in Molytinae, Conotrachelini (new placement). No detailed information on natural history is available. Specimens of L. elegantulus were collected on trailside ferns at night; specimens of L. chiapanecus were associated with Cedrela odorata L. (‘cedro’); and specimens of other species were collected under bark, on wood, on oak stumps, and on fence posts.

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.
