Abstract
Metaphotina austri Ferraz, Souza-Dias & Rivera, 2023 (Figs. 13–15; 19B, E, H; 20B; 21B, E; 22C, D; 23C, D) Acontiothespis brevipennis Rehn, 1916: 258 [partim] (misidentified [= M. austri], distribution). Metaphotina austri Ferraz et al., 2023: 34 (original description [male/female]; type locality: Aiuaba, Ceará, Brazil). Diagnosis. Male vertex flat with a narrow, longitudinal depression bisecting its top (Fig. 13C); mesothoracic wings with a variable-sized spot medially; metathoracic wings are hyaline and unpigmented (Fig. 13A). L4A with sharp curvature towards the sdp ’s spiniform projection (Fig. 14B); posterior bending of the left phallomere moderately convex (Fig. 14A). Female vertex conspicuously elevated and prominent (Figs. 13D, E); mesothoracic wings with the costal field and wing apex tapering distally; metathoracic wings displaying alternating black and white longitudinal veins. Proximal region of CG8 with two short projections, distal region towards the sbu presenting a short, rounded projection (Fig. 14D, 14E). Oothecae (Fig. 15). Guttiform, with the proximal end serving as the attachment point to the substrate, bulging and tapering towards the anterior region but seemingly rounder than the egg case of M. bimaculata, terminating in a filiform residual process that may split at its tip. Females attach their egg cases to smooth surfaces such as leaves, but also to stems or twigs, with the emergence area leaning towards the substrate. The external coating is yellowish-white, while the outer wall of the egg case is reddish-brown. No egg cases could be dissected to study their internal structure; this description is based on records from the iNaturalist platform. Measurements and ratios. Supplementary material 2. Distribution. BRAZIL (AL*, BA, CE, MA, PB, PE, PI*, RN). Type locality: Aiuaba, Ceará, Brazil. Remarks. Ferraz et al. (2023) presented a detailed description of this distinct species. The smallest member of Metaphotina, it is distributed in northeastern Brazil, in association with the Caatinga biome and ecotones in drier Atlantic Rainforest and Amazonian areas. We herein describe the oothecae of this species and record it in two new states in northeastern Brazil, Alagoas and Piauí, and in new localities Rio Grande do Norte, through iNaturalist records with pictures that allowed for the identification of the species. Although its presence in both states was expected, these records help fill some gaps in the known distribution of this species. Additionally, in its description the authors treated the male sdp of this species as the pda (Ferraz et al. 2023: Fig. 6E)¸ here we correct this statement as those structures are not homologous (see Schwarz & Roy 2019). In the same picture, the authors treated the female cxvl as cxdl and the cxal as cxvl. Due to this we correct the female structures names (Fig. 14D). Material examined.

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 it
