ECOLOGY. — Martiodrilus (B.) tchoukouchipan Decaëns & Bartz, n. sp. has been found in a wide range of well-drained habitats, with a marked preference for rocky savannahs of the inselbergs (38.46% of specimens), plateau forests (32.31%) and inselberg transition forests (15.38%) (Fig. 10D). Most specimens were collected under terrestrial bromeliads covering rocky savannahs (38.46% of specimens), in the organo-mineral soil (38.46%) and a lower proportion in decaying trunks (16.92%) and in litter accumulating on large granite rocks (6.15%) (Fig. 10E). Cocoons are tan yellow, spherical, 4.5-5.5 mm in diameter, with two mucrons at the anterior and posterior ends. DISTRIBUTION. — Martiodrilus (B.) tchoukouchipan Decaëns & Bartz, n. sp. is only known from the Mitaraka Massif. DESCRIPTION External morphology (Fig. 10A, B) Body shape cylindrical. Body pigmentation dorsally yellow-brown, ventrally yellow.Body length: 56 mm in the holotype, 55 to 75 mm in the paratypes (average: 76.3 mm; n = 6), after ethanol fixation. Body mass: 0.32 mm after ethanol fixation in the holotype, 0.31 to 0.82 g in the paratypes (average: 0.54 g; n = 6). Diameter: 3 to 5.5 mm in the preclitellar region, 3.9 to 5.5 mm in the clitellum, 3.2 to 4.7 mm in the postclitellar region. Number of segments: 96 in the holotype, 101 to 145 in the paratypes (average: 128.3; n = 6). Prostomium proepilobic. One pair of longitudinal grooves passing through segment I in line of nephridial pores in II. Setae closely paired, ab and cd beginning in III or IV. Setal arrangement aa:ab:bc:cd:dd = 6:1:9:1:31. Clitellum in (dorsal XIV) XV (XVI)-½ XXV, saddle-shaped (Fig. 10A). Genital markings variable in V-VIII and in X-XII, and intraclitellar in XV-XVIII (ab position). Tubercula pubertatis linear in 1/4XX-1/3XXV (Fig. 10B). Male pores not recognised externally, internally open in 19/20, and ovipores not visible. Spermathecal pores in 5/6, 6/7 and 7/8. Nephridial pores begining in II, in CD line. Internal anatomy (Fig. 10C) Septa: membranous. Gizzard: muscular and well developed in VI, but displaced to X, XI, with an average size (width × length) of 2.60 × 3.38 mm. Calciferous glands: eight pairs in VII-XIV, those in X and XI slightly smaller; all kidney-shaped with a terminal appendix and tubular composite structure. Esophagus-intestine transition in XVII/XVIII; intestine without caeca. Typhlosole abruptly begining in XXVI, structured as a long-folded lamella occupying all the lumen. Hearts: six pairs, the two intestinal pairs in X-XI and well developed. Excretory apparatus holoic, nephridia with simple nephrostome.Testes sacs:midventral or hypoesophagic in X and XI, enclosing seminal vesicles. Seminal vesicles: two pairs in XI-XII: first pair enclosed in septa extending to IX and X; second pair going until XVII, lobulated with division in the segments and attached to the dorsal body wall. Spermathecae: three pairs, VI, VII and VIII, elongated without diverticula. REMARKS Martiodrilus (B.) tchoukouchipan Decaëns & Bartz, n. sp. belongs to the subgenus Botaria because of the presence of 3 pairs of spermathecae. It resembles a group of species sharing a clitellum positioned on XV-XXV, including M. (B.) pavliceki Bartz & Decaëns, n. sp., M. (B.) bicolor, M. (B.) euzonus, M. (B.) gara, M. (B.) gravis, M. (B.) minoriformis, M. (B.) poncei and M. (B.) tutus. However, it differs from these species in the position of the tubercula pubertatis in 1/4XX-1/3XXV which is only compatible with the description of M. (B.) gravis and M. (B.) tutus. It is finally distinguished from the latter two species by its significantly smaller size (55-75 mm, whereas M. (B.) gravis and M. (B.) tutus are larger than 90 mm and 100 mm, respectively). Martiodrilus (B.) tchoukouchipan Decaëns & Bartz, n. sp. is clearly separated from the other species of Martiodrilus from the Mitaraka Massif by its COI barcode (Table 2). This species corresponds to OTU#071 in Maggia et al. (2021).

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.
