Abstract
The taxonomy of horse flies in the Afrotropics has been neglected in recent times. The genus Hybomitra Enderlein is considered to be Holarctic but 15 species are recorded from the Afrotropics. A collecting trip in South Africa led to the discovery of a new species of Hybomitra, Hybomitra phalaros sp. n., described here. Phylogenetic analysis using both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA yields a paraphyletic Hybomitra, comprising biogeographically distinct clades. Taxonomic revision of the Afrotropical Hybomitra is complex due to unavailable type specimens and lack of available material. The whereabouts of these type specimens are discussed, and morphological diagnoses derived from the original descriptions of all the Afrotropical species are provided. The type localities are mapped and discussed in relation to DNA barcoded voucher specimens from the region. Tabanus saxicolus is morphologically evaluated and transferred to Hybomitra as Hybomitra saxicolus n. comb.

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
