Three new species of Demidospermus (Monopisthocotyla: Dactylogyridae) parasitizing Ageneiosus inermis (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae) from western Amazon, Brazil
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During a study on the helminth fauna of fishes in the Juruá and Moa Rivers, State of Acre, north Brazil, three new species of Demidospermus Suriano, 1983 were found parasitizing Ageneiosus inermis (Auchenipteridae). Demidospermus juruaensis sp. nov. is characterized by its accessory piece, which is robust and straight, anchor-shaped distally, as well as by morphology of its hooks, which have a delicate and expanded shaft with a spear-shape ending. Demidospermus bifurcatus sp. nov. is characterized by a male copulatory organ (MCO) composed of a robust tube, with a bisected tip at the distal end and a robust accessory piece, that embraces the MCO along its entire length. Demidospermus takemotoi sp. nov. differs from its congeners by its long, tubular and slender accessory piece, which is almost the same length as the MCO. These findings bring the number of valid Demidospermus species to 36. The results of this research on the helminth parasites of fishes in Acre State underscore the importance of carrying similar studies on other fish species, thereby enhancing understanding of biodiversity in the Neotropical Region.

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.
