Abstract
Empis (Enoplempis) woodleyi sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 98DCC3A9-783D-4BAF-A0A6-B723CFB28158 (Figs 246–249) Type material. HOLOTYPE ♂, labelled: “WASH: Yakima County / Wenas Creek Forest / Camp [46°52′N 120°48′W], 20 mi NW Selah / 25 May 1986 2550 ft. / N. E. Woodley ”; “ N.E. Woodley / Collection/ Donated 2001”; “ HOLOTYPE / Empis (Enoplempis) / woodleyi Sinclair,/ Brooks & Cumming [red label]” [dissected] (USNM). Diagnosis. This species is distinguished from E. (En.) turgida sp. nov. by the male tergite 7 without pair of rounded, membranous lateral lobes (Fig. 246), subepandrial process very short, not extending beyond epandrium, and phallus with more than 10 teeth-like marginal projections in posterior view. Description. Wing length 4.7 mm. Male. Similar to E. (En.) turgida sp. nov., except as follows: head with proboscis very long, at least twice as long as head height. Thoracic setae mostly dark brown, acrostichals biserial, pale; 2 posterior npl. Laterotergite with narrow patch of pale setae. Legs very similar to E. turgida sp. nov., but highly shrunken and twisted during preservation making comparison difficult. Apex of hind femur with preapical row of 4–5 flattened, black, short, tapered posterior setae. Pregenital abdominal segments modified: tergite 6 with broad rectangular desclerotized area on medial posterior half; tergite 7 with anterior two-thirds thinly sclerotized medially with lateral, divergent concavity and posterior ridge; sclerites of segment 8 narrowly fused anterolaterally. Terminalia (Figs 247, 248): cercus linear, truncate apically, shorter than epandrium, somewhat concave medially; setae shorter than width of cercus. Subepandrial process very short, not reaching epandrial margin or bracing phallus. Epandrial lamella subtriangular, tapered dorsolaterally to broadly rounded apex; broadly fused with cercus anteriorly; setae longer than cercal setae, mostly concentrated along posterior margin. Hypandrium short, truncate; apical margin concave; several short setae basally. Phallus with expanded base; tapered and bent anteriorly at apex of hypandrium; posterolateral margin broadly expanded beyond hypandrium, with more than 10 teeth-like marginal projections; apex emerging beyond cercus; ejaculatory apodeme less than half-length of epandrium, T-shaped, with lateral apodemes near lower margin. Female. Unknown. Geographical distribution and seasonal occurrence (Fig. 249). Empis (En.) woodleyi sp. nov. is known only from the holotype collected in May from Yakima County, Washington. Etymology. This species is named in honour of Norman E. Woodley, formerly of the United States National Museum of Natural History (USNM), who collected the holotype. Nuptial gift presentation. Form unknown.

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.
