A New Amphisbaena species from a Restinga Habitat of Southeastern Brazil (Reptilia, Squamata, Amphisbaenidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new species of Amphisbaena is described from the restinga environment of Grumari in Rio de Janeiro municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. This small form has a total length of 115.0 mm, a maximum 3.7 mm diameter at midbody, 186 left ventral annuli, 21 caudal annuli, 26 – 28 annuli scales at midbody and four precloacal pores. Autotomic tail annulus is absent. Characteristically, it has an enlarged pair of temporal shields coupled with a distinctive lateral tail compression. The new species is easily recognizable and distinguishable from any of the other Amphisbaena forms. There are only two Amphisbaena species effectively registered for Rio de Janeiro State (A. alba and A. hogei), and the species here described would add the third known Amphisbaena species for Rio de Janeiro state and raise the number of Amphisbaena species registered for Brazil to 71.
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.

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.
