The Stiletto Flies (Diptera: Therevidae) of British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Therevidae (Stiletto Flies) is a cosmopolitan family of flies in the superfamily Asiloidea, containing over 1250 described species. There is no previously published treatment of the family in British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska. An updated checklist of 34 species known in this region is presented based on over 2100 specimens, database records, photographs, and published records. A key based on non-genitalic characters provides identification to genera and to species where only one species of a genus is known in the region. Geographical distribution for species in each jurisdiction is given and is summarized using an ecoprovince approach for each of the 31 species in British Columbia, a comparable ecozone treatment for the 15 species known in the Yukon, and a generalized ecoregion system for the six species reported from Alaska. Where available, conservation ranks for each species are included. Ecological and behavioural information for each species, including known flight period in the region, is presented. Acrosathe vialis (Osten Sacken) is recorded new to Canada and British Columbia and Pallicephala quebecensis Webb and Irwin is reported from the Yukon for the first time.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
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.
