Abstract
Scipopus (Scipopus) planus sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 596FA239-FF99-4BF7-BBAA-617A15584416 Figs 6A, 29–30 Differential diagnosis Scipopus planus sp. nov. resembles Scipopus convexus sp. nov. in having a paracephalon with strongly convex, upturned bumps, but differs by the white first fore tarsomere and the fine white setae on T1. Etymology The name, from the Latin adjective for ‘flat’, refers to the flat dorsal surface of the head (most obvious when viewed from the side).

Palpus orange, pale microtrichose and setulose, narrow (length 6.0 × height). Clypeus orange, width 1.9× height, bare medially, white microtrichose in posterolateral corners. Frontal vitta dull, orange, microtrichose. Orbital plate bare and shiny anteriorly. Epicephalon dull, orange, microtrichose, not clearly delineated from upper frontal vitta. Paracephalon orange, with upturned strongly convex projections (Fig. 29C). All head chaetotaxy well-developed. THORAX. Scutum dark brown, microtrichose, with pale brown median vitta and pale microtrichose spots anterior to transverse suture. Female cervical sclerite very slightly convex medially. Postpronotal lobe dark brown, setulose anterolaterally. Notopleuron dark brown, pale microtrichose anteriorly and posteriorly, with median pale chevron (Fig. 30B). Pleuron with the following microtrichosity: entirely white on proepisternum, white on proepimeron with posterodorsal corner brown, white on anteroventral ½, dorsal and posterior margins of anepisternum, with ventral corner and remainder brown, almost entirely white on katepisternum, with small brown median and posterodorsal spots, white with median brown spot on katatergite. Legs dark brown or black, fore tarsomere 1, sometimes 2–3 white, hind tarsomere 1 almost entirely white. ABDOMEN (J+ ♀). T1 with fine, long, white setae. FEMALE ABDOMEN. P1 mostly dark brown, grey on posterior margin, dorsal half of P2 with dark brown patch with concave ventral margin, lower half pale grey, P3–6 dark grey, lower third darker (Fig. 30C). T1+2 ~1.8× T3. Oviscape black, white-microtrichose spot anterodorsally and on anteroventral ⅓, ~3.0 × length of T6. Combined spermathecal ducts long; common duct narrow, ⅓ of entire duct length. Paired spermathecal duct long (> 10.0 × length of paired spermathecae), narrow basally, swollen distally and apically. Paired spermathecal stems very long, ≥ 2.0× length of spermathecae, relatively inornate but with minute tubercles. Paired spermathecae bent basally, rounded. Single spermathecal duct arising from basal ⅛ of paired duct, narrow, <½ diameter and length of paired duct, swollen apically. Single spermatheca finger-like and very elongate. MALE ABDOMEN. Pleuron of available specimen discoloured. T1+2 ~2.0× T3. Genital fork ~2.0 × length of T6, arms converging, inner basal process small and straight, ~ ¹/7 length of arm. Epandrium elongate, length 2.0× height, nearly rectangular in lateral view, short setose on posteroventral margin. Basiphallus projecting outwards, crescent-shaped. Basal distiphallus very short (shorter than phallic bulb), broad, ending in phallic bulb. Phallic bulb short, length ≈ height, upper and lower chambers of nearly equal size. Distal distiphallus long, broad, ~1.5 × length of epandrium, apex tube-like. Phallapodeme very broad and apically expanded. Anterior apex of hypandrium broad and expanded. Distribution Bolivia, Colombia, Brazil.

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.
