Abstract
Empis (Enoplempis) arizonensis sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 41182F0A-E393-49D7-A3D5-0F1AA369B320 (Figs 82–84, 93, 129) Type material. HOLOTYPE ♂, labelled: “w295”; “U.S.A.: ARIZONA: WHITE / Mountains [33°54′N 109°33′W], subalpine/ meadow, A. R. Moldenke/ # refers to host & date/ CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF/ SCIENCES COLLECTIONS”; “ HOLOTYPE / Empis (Enoplempis) / arizonensis Sinclair,/ Brooks & Cumming [red label]” (CAS). PARATYPES: USA. Arizona: Same as holotype except, w1969 (1♂, CAS); same data except, w294 (1♂, CAS). Diagnosis. This species is distinguished from other species of the E. (En.) canaster species group by single paint brush-like cluster of setae and inner, unmounted narrow cluster of setae on the male hind femur, paired digitiform basal processes of the male hind tibia, and length of dorsal setae of the male hind tibia subequal to width of tibia (Figs 82–84). Description. Wing length 7.3–7.5 mm. Male. Similar to E. (En.) spokanensis sp. nov., except as follows: legs slender, yellowish brown, tarsi darker; coxae yellowish brown, partially clothed in thin greyish pruinescence (Fig. 82). Fore tarsomere 1 not inflated. Hind femur with anteroventral digitiform process, with paint brush-like setae in tight cluster; medially with unmounted narrow cluster of setae; 3 triangular posteroventral processes without setae; anterior process longest; preapical anterior seta strong, shorter than width of femur (Figs 83, 84). Hind tibia with pair of narrow digitiform processes on basal quarter; posteroventral process slightly twisted, with black setae along margins, with crown of tightly clustered, tapered setae, with knob-like, inner basal setose lobe; anteroventral process quadrate, with apex divided into 3 setal clusters, posteroventral cluster longer than length of process; posteroapical comb with seta; 4–6 strong anterodorsal and posterodorsal setae, not longer than width of tibia; ventral margin without dense, fine erect setae (Figs 83, 84). Hind tarsomere 1 not inflated, with long dorsal setae, similar to tibia. Abdomen dark, with dense greyish pruinescence, concolourous with scutum; long, pale lateral setae on pregenital segments. Pregenital segments unmodified, except sclerites of segment 8 narrowly separated, weakly fused. Terminalia (Fig. 93): orange brown. Cercus short, rectangular; dorsal margin with broad notch at mid-length; apex with base produced posteriorly, rounded; setae longer than width of cercus; weakly fused anteriorly to epandrium. Subepandrium without process; with row of medium-length setae. Epandrial lamella oval, higher than long; posterior margin truncate, without projection, bearing long, slender setae along posterior margin. Hypandrium short, truncate; numerous strong setae of various lengths present. Phallus very narrow and tubular basally; expanded on basal half, tapered, slightly sinuous apically; apex emerging beyond cercus; apex not expanded; ejaculatory apodeme nearly as long as length of epandrium, Y-shaped, with ventrally positioned lateral apodemes. Female. Unknown. Geographical distribution and seasonal occurrence (Fig. 129). Empis (En.) arizonensis sp. nov. is only known from the type locality in the White Mountains of Arizona. Etymology. This species is named after Arizona, the state in which the type locality occurs. Nuptial gift presentation. Form unknown.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
