New species of Augochlora (Oxystoglossella) Eickwort (Hymenoptera; Apoidea) from Northeastern Brazil with an identification key for the region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Within Augochlorini, Augochlora Smith is one of the most speciose genera, with 118 species, and widely distributed groups, occurring from Argentina to Canada. The genus has a remarkable range of social behaviors and nesting substrate preferences. There are two recognized extant subgenera: Augochlora s.s., whose species nest in decaying wood cavities and Oxystoglossella, whose species nest in soil. To date, a single species revision is available for Central Argentina and Uruguay. In the present study we provide a revision of Oxystoglossella species occurring in Northeastern Brazil including the description of three new species: Augochlora bipunctata sp. nov., Augochlora modica sp. nov. and Augochlora tenax sp. nov. Herein Halictus eucnemis Vachal is resurrected from synonymy with Augochlora thalia Smith, and the lectotype of Halictus hemitomes Vachal is presently designated. Augochlora aurinasis is cited for Brazil for the first time. A key to the six species of Oxystoglossella occurring at Northeastern region in Brazil is provided. The three new species are apparently restricted to this region, being one of them probably linked to the Caatinga biome.

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.
