Abstract
Philoplitis striatus sp. n. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 22D4FF11-C305-4C96-B803-ED2FBE19FE21 Philoplitis sp. Mason, 1981: 130. Diagnosis. The striate mediotergite 2 distinguishes this species from all the others. Additionally, the reddish-orange body color separates it from P. adustipalpus, P. masneri and P. punctatus; while the shorter length/width ratio of mediotergite 2 distinguishes it from P. coniferens. Description. Head densely rugosopunctate, frons transversely striated, small and impressed area (behind posterior ocelli and reaching to central part of the occiput) rather smooth but with confluent fine punctures. Antenna long, length of 2nd flagellomere 2.3× its width, length of 15th flagellomere 2.8× its width. Mesosoma with TI T2 T3 Figures Ι3-Ι6. Ι3 First metasomal segments of Philoplitis coniferens Ι4 First metasomal segments of Philoplitis masneri Ι5 First metasomal segments of Philoplitis punctatus Ι6 First metasomal segments of Philoplits striatus. rather dense and long pubescence. Mesoscutum with coarse punctures, notauli deeply impressed, and with impressed surface posterlaterally above the tegulae (Fig. 6, 9, 12). Scutellum coarsely punctate, in lateral view with apex pointing upwards, scutellar disc length/width ratio 1.10× (0.97–1.20), and its length 0.94× (0.90–1.00) that of mesoscutum. Mesopleura mostly punctate, with medial smooth area below speculum and some striation marking the sternaulus; metapleuron punctate. Propodeum rugose and with complete median longitudinal carina. Forewing ratios: r/3RSa: 2.05 (1.65–2.60); r/r-m: 2.33 (2.10–2.67); r/2RS: 0.95 (0.90–1.00); 3RS/2M: 0.50 (0.45–0.57); 2RS/2M: 1.14 (1.00–1.30); r-m/2M: 0.45 (0.36–0.57); r /(r-2M); 0.47 (0.44–0.50); height of 2nd submarginal cell/(r-2M): 0.41 (0.35–0.47). Tarsal claws with 2–3 teeth and with arolium subequal to claw length; metafemur length 3.15× (3.10–3.20) its maximum width; inner spur of metatibia 0.55× (0.50–0.60) the length of first tarsomere. Metasoma with apical half of mediotergite 1 sculptured, its length 1.74× (1.70–1.80) its width at apex; mediotergite 2 broad, with medial zone outlined by shallow convergent grooves that form a transverse striated triangle, with carinae markedly divergent, mediotergite with longitudinal striation apically and its medial length 0.38× (0.30–0.41) its width at apex (Fig. 16); tergum 3+ smooth. Color. Head (including antenna) and mesosoma reddish-orange; palpi brown with apical 3–5 maxillary palps light brown; occiput sometimes with darker marks, as well as base of scutellum, mesosternum, metapleura and propodeum. Legs orange-brown; tibia and tarsi of first two pairs yellowish-white; hind legs dark brown; metatibial spurs orangeyellow. Wing veins and stigma light brown (Rs + M hyaline), with a brownish cloud beneath stigma that extends to 2M. Metasoma reddish-brown; with sternites 1–3 yellowishwhite, and mediotergite 1 with basal third and a small apical triangular area orange. Variation. One male has a different color pattern (all palpi yellowish; body color blackish), and the striation in mediotergite 2 is not clear. Lacking more specimens for study we tentatively consider this specimen as P. striatus but exclude it from the type series. Etymology. Th e name alludes to the distinctive striation on mediotergite 2.

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.
