Morphological and molecular data reveal the conspecificity of the spider mites Tetranychus gloveri and T. okinawanus (Acari: Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Spider mites from Florida identified as Tetranychus gloveri Banks yielded COI and ITS1/ITS2 sequences that were either highly similar or identical to GenBank sequences of Tetranychus okinawanus Ehara from Japan. In the description of T. okinawanus, only a single morphological character, the length of the solenidion on tarsus III, was used to separate T. okinawanus from T. gloveri. Using types of both species, this character was reassessed and is shown to provide no basis for the treatment of T. okinawanus as a distinct species. Therefore, we assert that Tetranychus okinawanus Ehara is a junior synonym of Tetranychus gloveri Banks. We also provide a diagnosis and supplementary description of T. gloveri based on specimens from available geographic regions (USA: Louisiana, Florida; Japan) and designated a female lectotype.

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.
