A revision of the former family Pseudopomyzidae (Diptera, Acalyptratae, Cypselosomatidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The former family Pseudopomyzidae is revised. Morphological characters and multiple genes are used to assess relationships among the families of Nerioidea, concluding that the family Pseudopomyzidae as currently defined is paraphyletic with respect to Cypselosomatidae Hendel; the family Cypselosomatidae is therefore redefined to include the Pseudopomyzidae. The subgeneric classification of the large genus Pseudopomyza Strobl is updated by synonymizing the subgenera Macalpinella Papp and Rhinopomyzella Hennig with Pseudopomyza s.s., and reinstating the subgenus Heluscolia (Harrison), resulting in four valid subgenera: Apops McAlpine, Dete McAlpine, Heluscolia and Pseudopomyza s.s. The subgenus Apops is composed of two previously included species (P. flavitarsis (Harrison) (New Zealand) and P. arenae McAlpine (Australia, Tasmania)) and three new species (P. chilensis Yau and Marshall (Chile), P. medianentis Yau and Marshall (Australia, Western Australia) and P. nigritarsis Yau and Marshall (New Zealand)). The subgenus Dete includes P. collessi McAlpine (Australia). The subgenus Heluscolia includes P. antipoda (Harrison) and P. brevis (Harrison), both from the New Zealand Subantarctic Islands. The subgenus Pseudopomyza includes P. aristata (Harrison) (New Zealand), P. atrimana (Meigen) (Palaearctic), P. brevicaudata (Harrison) (New Zealand), P. brevifacies (Papp) (Oriental and Palaearctic) and the P. nigrimana species group (formerly treated as the subgenus Rhinopomyzella). The P. nigrimana species group, shown here to be the sister group to P. atrimana, includes P. albimana (Hennig), P. nigrimana (Hennig) and fifteen new species (P. adunca Yau and Marshall, P. ampliata Yau and Marshall, P. angustifrons Yau and Marshall, P. binaevia Yau and Marshall, P. brunneicacumen Yau and Marshall, P. cordata Yau and Marshall, P. cyathiformis Yau and Marshall, P. flavicacumen Yau and Marshall, P. gambiformis Yau and Marshall, P. inflexa Yau and Marshall, P. machaera Yau and Marshall, P. parabinaevia Yau and Marshall, P. proboscis Yau and Marshall, P. prolata Yau and Marshall, P. simulatrix Yau and Marshall).

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.
