Two new species of Diamesinae (Diptera: Chironomidae) from the Central Iranian Range and Elburz Mountains (Iran), with new faunistic records for the subfamily
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As part of our continuous investigation into the biodiversity of Chironomidae of Iran, we expanded our collection area to the Elburz Mountains and the Central Iranian Range in East Azerbaijan and Kurdistan Provinces. As a result of this, we discovered and described Diamesa sahandensis sp. nov. and Sympotthastia golalae sp. nov., two new Diamesinae, adding to the diversity of these genera in Iran and the Palaearctic region. We also provide new Iranian faunistic records, Diamesa kasymovi Kownacka et Kownacki, 1973, describe its female for the first time, and provide an updated key to the adult males of Sympotthastia Pagast, 1947. Based on the molecular analysis of cytochrome oxidase (COI) genes and methods for delimiting species, the average interspecific distance between S. golalae sp. nov. and other species of Sympotthastia was high enough (13.9%) to maintain a species level.

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.
