Stick and Leaf Insects of Morotai Island, Indonesia (Phasmatodea)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) of the island of Morotai, northern Maluku Islands, Indonesia are surveyed and a checklist provided. So far only nine species and two subspecies are known from the island. Two new species are described: Ramulus yasini n. sp. from both sexes and the eggs and Nescicroa bonneaui n. sp. from the female only. One new subspecies, Dimorphodes mancus morotaiense n. ssp., is described from both sexes and the eggs. The new subspecies parallels the only known leaf insect of Morotai, Phyllium tobeloense bhaskarai Cumming et al., 2019, in representing and offshoot of the nominate Halmahera population with only the egg morphology providing concrete features that allow differentiation between the populations. Acanthoderus gravidus Bates, 1865 is removed from synonymy with Pylaemenes coronatus (Haan, 1842) and re-established as a valid species, thus becoming Pylaemenes gravidus (Bates, 1865) rev. stat. Datames aequalis Rehn, 1904 from the island of Obi is shown to be a synonym of P. gravidus (n. syn.). The first records from the islands of Halmahera, Ternate and Morotai are range extensions for P. gravidus. Eggs of the Morotai populations of Anchiale maculata (Olivier, 1792) and Orxines xiphias (Westwood, 1859) are described and illustrated with the latter species recorded from the island of Morotai for the first time. Lectotypes are designated for Anophelepis xiphias Westwood, 1859 and Acacaus buruensis Brunner v. Wattenwyl, 1907.

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.
