Abstract
Parapterogramma ofiensis sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: FE807AE5-C7D6-4895-BF32-CC865194021C Figs 23–24, 41A, 42 Etymology This species name refers to the type locality of the species, Ofi Creek in Papua New Guinea. Material examined Holotype PAPUA NEW GUINEA • ♂; Kokoda Trail, Ofi Creek, 8 km SW of Naoro; 650 m a.s.l.; 15–18 Aug. 1976; O. Kukal leg.; lowland forest, dung; CNCI. Description BODY (Fig. 23). Length 1.2 mm. Head dark brown with lower portion of frons lighter, and silvery-yellow microtomentum on interfrontal plates, ocellar triangle, orbital plates, and occiput; gena brownish-yellow with a small ovoid patch of pale microtomentum; antenna brown. Frontal width 2.0 × interfrontal height. Eye height 3.5 × genal height. Thorax brown with indistinct paler central stripe; scutellum brown with dark brown anteromedial spot. Scutum with pale grey and brown microtomentum forming a pair of Y- or V-shaped dark longitudinal marks, lateral margins broadly yellow microtomentose, pale M-shaped microtomentose mark at level of posterior dorsocentral bristles, below this dark brown; scutellum brown with median, dark brown microtomentose triangle. Anterior dorsocentral bristles separated by 5–6 rows of acrostichal setulae. Legs light brown, mid tibia slightly paler apically, tarsi pale. Male mid tibia with small, stout apicoventral bristle only. Wing (Fig. 41A) pattern weak. CS2 0.4× CS3. R 2+3 broadly curved in apical half, angled at ~70° to costa; costa extending well beyond apex of R 4+5 (5 × costal width). M 1 indistinct beyond dm-m; M 4 extending beyond dm-m; CuA+CuP long but non-tubular. Halter whitish. MALE ABDOMEN (Fig. 24). S5 broad, rectangular, uniformly setose, posteromedially desclerotized with a setulose membrane between S5 and S6. S6 short and slightly sinuate. Cercus flat, subquadrate, with one seta; subepandrial sclerite indistinct but medially darkened. Surstylus long but low, bilobed: anterior lobe bulging outwards anteriorly with several long ventral setae, posterior lobe rounded triangular, bulbous dorsally with dense setae and setulae and projecting ventrally with several long, sinuate setae. Postgonite slightly bent, constricted in the basal half, greatly expanded anterolaterally in the apical half and setulose laterally. Phallapodeme elongate, apex triangular and flared; basiphallus large, stalked, peanut-shaped with stout posterior setae. Distiphallus stout, largely membranous, and complex: centrally supported by an elongate, sinuate upper sclerite and a short, scoop-like lower sclerite, laterally supported on each side by a long, curved, apically flared sclerite. FEMALE ABDOMEN. Female unknown. Remarks Parapterogramma ofiensis sp. nov. is externally most similar to Pa. asiaticum, but differs in having M 4 tubular beyond dm-m and the male mid tibia with only a single stout apicoventral bristle.

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.
