Aedeagus (Fig. 30 and 31 in Lonsdale 2017): basiphallus slightly sclerotized with membranous extension distally; mesophallus fused to distiphallus, forming two tubules fused basally, enlarged distally; cerci with an elongated seta at apex.

It is differentiated from L. sorosis by the seta pattern on the cercus and from L. marginalis by the shape of the aedeagus. Spencer (1990) considers the possibility that this species is a leaf miner of several families within the Asteridae clade, such as Boraginaceae, Verbenaceae, Plantaginaceae, and Loganiaceae. This information has been partially confirmed by Carvalho-Filho et al. (2016), who identified some specimens of L. blechi reared from Spigelia anthelmia L., and by Eiseman and Lonsdale (2018), who listed specimens reared from Plantago virginica L. The present study records for the first time L. blechi forming mines on leaves of Gentianaceae and showing differentiated shapes of mines between the different plant families. Mines in Poaceae species are linear with frass widely spaced, although mines in Dicliptera sericea and Spigelia anthelmia are similar to L. blechi mines. The mesonotum bands of specimens reared from Dicliptera and Spigelia usually are dark brown (Fig. 26 and 27), but specimens collected in Poaceae usually present the central area of mesonotum are predominantly paler, almost orange (Fig. 28), similar to description of L. marginalis. However, the shape of aedeagus resemble which illustrated by Eiseman & Lonsdale (2018) to L. blechi.

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.
