A newly recognized family of the Ascoidea (Acari: Mesostigmata: Gamasina), based on a revised concept of the subgenus Lasioseius (Endopodalius) Christian and Karg, 2006
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The systematic position of the subgenus Endopodalius Christian and Karg, 2006, previously recognized by Lindquist and Evans, 1965, as the scutalis species group in Lasioseius, is reviewed. Based in part on plesiomorphic structures of the female sperm access system being of a laelapoid type, it is removed as a subgenus of the blattisociid genus Lasioseius in the superfamily Phytoseioidea and accomodated as a separate genus within the superfamily Ascoidea. In other respects, adult females of this taxon are so distinctive apomorphically to justify separate family group recognition, Endopodaliidae, fam. nov., tentatively related as a sister-group to the morphologically and behaviorally more derived Antennochelidae Lindquist and Moraza, 2014. Species of this family are tropical, their adult females phoretic on beetles of various families of the infraorder Cucujiformia, suborder Polyphaga. A diagnosis of the family and revised description of Endopodalius based on adult females and males are presented, with an updated key to world recognized species of the genus, including the following new binominal combinations, Endopodalius americanus (Chant,1963), Endopodalius mouchei (Loots, 1980), and a new synonym: E. scutalis (Banks, 1914) (= E. prorsoperitrematus Abo-Shnaf et al., 2016). A lectotype is designated from type material of Hypoaspis scutalis Banks, 1914.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
