New feather mites of the genus Neodectes (Acariformes: Proctophyllodidae) from honeyeaters (Passeriformes: Meliphagidae) in Australia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Five new species of the genus Neodectes Park and Atyeo, 1971 (Proctophyllodidae: Pterodectinae) are described from honeyeaters (Passeriformes: Meliphagidae) in Australia: Neodectes cissomelae sp. n. from Cissomela pectoralis (Gould) (type host) and Melithreptus gularis laetior Gould; N. hallidayi sp. n. from Anthochaera carunculata (Shaw) (type host) and A. chrysoptera (Latham); N. manorinae sp. n. from Manorina melanocephala (Latham); N. ophioglossus sp. n. from Conopophila rufogularis (Gould) (type host) and Lichmera indistincta (Vigors and Horsfield); and N. walteri sp. n. from Anthochaera phrygia (Shaw). A key to species and a world checklist to Neodectes species are provided for the first time. A new combination, Neodectes dicranochaetus (Gaud, 1968) comb. n., is proposed for Proterothrix dicranochaeta Gaud, 1968, which is transferred herein to the genus Neodectes from Proterothrix Gaud, 1968 (Proctophyllodidae).
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
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.
