Illustrated key to the genera and catalogue of Mymaridae (Hymenoptera) in the Neotropical region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper summarizes the current knowledge on Neotropical Mymaridae. Separate identification keys for females, and for males where known, are given for the 60 valid genera of Mymaridae in the Neotropical region south of Mexico but including Bermuda and the islands of the Caribbean Sea. The subgenera of four genera (Anagrus Haliday, Anaphes Haliday, Erythmelus Enock and Polynema Haliday) are also included in the key to females. The genera are illustrated with 356 photographs. The 298 valid species reported from the region are catalogued. Host genus and, sometimes, species records are reported for 15 genera and 61 species of Mymaridae from rearings undertaken in the region. The hosts identified to order and sometimes to family are known for a few additional genera. An appendix lists the 34 species from Mexico but not recorded in the Neotropical region as defined in this publication. Tanyostethium Yoshimoto, syn. n., is synonymized under Erdosiella Soyka and its type species Tanyostethium elongatum Yoshimoto is transferred to Erdosiella as Erdosiella elongatum (Yoshimoto), comb. n. †Palaeopatasson Witsack, syn. n., is synonymized under Schizophragma Ogloblin and its type species, †Palaeopatasson grollei Witsack is transferred to Schizophragma as Schizophragma †grollei (Witsack), comb. n. One new genus in the Polynema group of genera is described from the New World, Quasipalaeoneura Triapitsyn & Huber, gen. n., with the type species Polynema mymaripennis Dozier. Palaeoneura mymaripennis (Dozier) and P. durwest Triapitsyn are transferred to Quasipalaeoneura as, respectively, Quasipalaeoneura mymaripennis (Dozier), comb. n. and Quasipalaeoneura durwest (Triapitsyn), comb. n..

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.
