Bibliographic record
Abstract
Paragrallomyia diminuta new species (Figs. 24–26) Description (female only): Body length 4 mm; wing 3 mm. Head, thorax (mesonotum dark brown) and abdomen brown. Palpus dark brown except for white outer face. Clypeus brown with sparse pale microsetulae. First flagellomere brown. Fronto-orbital plate dark brown. Row of katepisternal setae brownish. Fore tibia brown. Fore tarsus white with brownish pubescence ventrally at base of tarsomere one. Hind femur mostly brown, white on basal fifth and with a small angled preapical white ring. Tergites brown. Oviscape brown. Head: First flagellomere covered by pale microsetulae. Frontal vitta with a darkened spot anterior to ocellar plate. Frontal vitta flat, not swollen anterior to ocellar plate. Epicephala converging, not immediately merging posterior to ocellar plate (Fig. 24). Epicephalon somewhat swollen above frontal vitta level. Thorax: Mesonotum with lines of thin brownish microsetulae. Anterior half of postpronotal lobe bare. Femur covered with sparse black microsetulae. Mid and hind tibia flattened, sulcus on outer face strongly pronounced and curved. Cervical sclerite with an oval white swelling. Cell r 4+5 open at the tip of the wing. Abdomen: Single spermathecal duct with an apical rounded swelling. Single spermatheca cylindrical, with sparse small finger-like swellings on apical half. Paired spermathecal duct swollen apically before splitting into stems. Paired spermathecal duct stems tapered on basal third, followed by a rounded swelling and a tapered apical third with small finger-like processes (Fig. 26). Paired spermathecae oval and with an apical nipple-like swelling, invaginated apically only. Type material: Holotype: COSTA RICA. Heredia, Estac. Biol. La Selva, 2.III.1993, Malaise trap, ALAS (1 ♀, DEBU01086461, MNCR). Paratypes: BELIZE. Cayo Dist., San Ignacio, Maya Mt. Lodge, 17º 9’ N 89º4’W, dung trap, 7–8.I.1991, S. A. Marshall (1 ♀ DEBU00151707); COSTA RICA. Heredia, Estac. Biol. La Selva, 15. VI.1993, Malaise trap, M 1/01/108, ALAS (1 ♀, DEBU01086462); Puntarenas, R. F. Golfo Dulce, 24 km W Piedra Blancas, 200 m, II.1992, Tp 2, P. Hanson (1 ♀ DEBU); Puntarenas, R. F. Golfo Dulce, 5 km W Piedra Blancas, 100 m, II.1990, P. Hanson (1 ♀ DEBU). Distribution: Belize, Costa Rica. Etymology: The specific name refers to the unusually small size of this species. Comments: P. diminuta is distinct for its small size (4 mm) and its conspicuously flattened mid and hind tibiae.

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.
