Fifteen new species of Chilicola (Hymenoptera: Apoidea; Colletidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fifteen new species of the xeromelissine bee genus Chilicola are described. Most are either outliers not obviously belonging to currently known subgenera or expand our concepts of previously described subgenera. Species that do not readily fall into presently recognized subgenera are: Chilicola obesifrons Packer, n. sp. and the closely related C. catamarcense Packer, n. sp.; C. unicarinata Packer, n. sp. and the closely related C. chubutense Packer, n. sp., and three comparatively isolated species: C. biguttata Packer, n. sp., C. tregualemu Packer, n. sp., and C. setosicornis Packer, n. sp.. Species that fall within previously described subgenera are: C. (Chilioediscelis) aenigma Packer, n. sp., C. (Prosopoides) granulosa Packer, n. sp., C. (Pseudiscelis) nanula Packer, n. sp., C. (Stenoediscelis) denisii Packer, n. sp., C. tricarinata Packer, n. sp., C. tricarinatoides Packer, n. sp., and C. clavillo Packer, n. sp. The last three species belong to “Oedis- celisca”, a subgenus subsumed within Oediscelis by Michener (1995) but requiring re-evaluation. Chilicola nanula and C. aenigma expand the scope of their respective subgenera. A fifteenth species, C. liliana Packer, n. sp., is not placed to subgenus due to a lack of males. Toro and Moldenke’s (1979) subgenus Stenoediscelis is returned from synonymy and new characters justifying this resurrection are provided.

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.
