Abstract
This revision is part of a continuing series of taxonomic work aimed at the description of new taxa and the redescription of known taxa of the Tachinidae of Area de Conservación Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica. Here we describe 33 new species in the genus Belvosia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Diptera: Tachinidae). All species described here were reared from this ongoing inventory of wild-caught caterpillars spanning a variety of families (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Eupterotidae, Noctuidae, Notodontidae, Saturniidae, and Sphingidae). We provide a morphological description of each species with limited information on life history, molecular data, and photographic documentation. In addition to the new species, the authors provide a redescription of the genus Belvosia , as well as provide a key to the identification of the species present in the Meso- and North-American fauna. The following 33 new species of Belvosia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, all authored by Fleming & Woodley, are described: Belvosia adrianguadamuzi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia anacarballoae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia angelhernandezi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia brigittevilchezae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia alixtomoragai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia carolinacanoae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia ciriloumanai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia diniamartinezae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia duniagarciae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia duvalierbricenoi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia eldaarayae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia eliethcantillanoae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia freddyquesadai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia gloriasihezarae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia guillermopereirai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia harryramirezi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia hazelcambroneroae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia jorgehernandezi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia josecortezi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia joseperezi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia keinoraragoni Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia luciariosae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia manuelpereirai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia manuelriosi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia minorcarmonai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia osvaldoespinozai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia pabloumanai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia petronariosae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia ricardocaleroi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia robertoespinozai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia rostermoragai Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia ruthfrancoae Fleming & Woodley sp. n. , Belvosia sergioriosi Fleming & Woodley sp. n. Belvosia canalis Aldrich, 1928 is reared and recorded from the inventory; new information relative to host is provided and the species is rediscribed. The following are proposed by Fleming & Woodley as new synonyms of Belvosia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: Brachybelvosia Townsend, 1927 syn. n. , Belvosiomimops Townsend, 1935 syn. n. The following three new combinations are proposed as a result of the new synonymies: Belvosia brasilensis (Townsend, 1927), comb. n. ; and Belvosia barbiellinii (Townsend, 1935), comb. n. The authors also propose the following new synonymies: Belvosia brasilensis (Townsend, 1927) = Belvosia aurulenta (Bigot, 1888), syn. n. ; Belvosia pollinosa Rowe, 1933 = Belvosia borealis Aldrich, 1928 syn. n. ; Belvosia weyenberghiana (Wulp, 1883) = Belvosia fuliginosa (Walker, 1853) syn. n. ; Belvosia brasiliensis Townsend, 1927 = Belvosia fuliginosa (Walker, 1853) syn. n. ; Belvosia luteola Coquillett, 1900 = Belvosia ochriventris (Wulp, 1890) syn. n. ; Belvosia socia (Walker, 1853) = Belvosia proxima (Walker, 1853) syn. n. ; Belvosia chrysopyga (Bigot, 1887) = Belvosia unifasciata (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) syn. n. ; Belvosia chrysopygata (Bigot, 1888) = Belvosia unifasciata (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) syn. n.

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
