Abstract
Turgiditarsus Schillhammer comprises some of the most bizarre and rarely encountered rove beetles in the subfamily Staphylininae. The genus is presently known from only 4 female specimens comprising three species in the eastern Oriental region. Its previous placement in Anisolinina was based primarily on superficial similarity, much before recent advances in the systematics of tribe Staphylinini. Total evidence phylogenetic analysis of a broad taxon sample within Staphylinini, including the first male specimen of Turgiditarsus, revealed that the genus should be placed in the morphologically diverse and relictual Acylophorina, a subtribe with one of the oldest crown group ages in the latest Early Cretaceous. Turgiditarsus is redescribed and two new species, T. eureka Schillhammer and Brunke sp.n. and T. vietnamensis Schillhammer and Brunke sp.n., are described, bringing the total number to five. Amacylophorus Smetana stat.n., a subgenus of Acylophorus Gravenhorst, is raised to genus rank and redescribed, with the following new combination: Amacylophorus pratensis (LeConte) comb.n. Stevensia Cameron and its single species, recently moved to this subtribe, are redescribed. All genera of Acylophorina are diagnosed and included in a novel world key. A species level key is updated for Turgiditarsus. Further systematic work within diverse Acylophorus is needed to re-assess the status of Acylohsellus, Paratolmerus and the remaining subgenera of Acylophorus.

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
