New Canadian records of <i>Phyllopalus pulchellus</i> Uhler and <i>Hapithus agitator</i> Uher (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) based on digital observations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the six years since the checklist of the Orthoptera of Ontario was published (Paiero and Marshall 2014), there has been an increase in the number of posts of Ontario Orthoptera on various online platforms that include observations from the extreme southwestern parts of Ontario where additional species from adjacent regions may be expected to occur.In 2018, observations of two cricket (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) species, Phyllopalpus pulchellus Uhler and Hapithus agitator Uhler, were posted on iNaturalist.org(2019) from southwestern Ontario and represented new Canadian records.The observations of these two species are discussed and summarized (Table 1) along with a brief discussion on the value of web-based citizen scientist observations. Phyllopalpus pulchellus Uhler -red-headed bush cricketThis beautiful and distinctive species (Fig. 1A) was initially recorded in Amherstburg, Ontario, on 13 September 2018, and subsequently supported by a previous observation from LaSalle, on 2 September 2018.Both were single individuals and no additional individuals were encountered at either locality.In 2019, additional observations were made in Essex County, including the site of the original observation along with several additional sites around the Windsor area.A female was observed in the Ojibway Prairie Provincial Nature Reserve and taken as a voucher (deposited at the University of Guelph Insect Collection).These additional records suggest that P. pulchellus has indeed established itself in Ontario and may be slowly expanding its range.This species was previously expected to occur in Ontario (as noted in Paiero and Marshall 2014) based on records in Ohio, and recent records in Michigan (O'Brien and Craves 2016) suggest this species is slowly expanding its range northward.

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.
