Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sympistis jocelynae Troubridge sp. n. (Figs. C-10, K-7, P-7) Diagnosis. Sympistis jocelynae cannot be confused with any other species. In external appearance it most closely resembles Sympistis rosea (Smith) comb. n. (Fig. D-7). Both species have a pink forewing with paler orbicular and reniform spots and a distinct black line crossing the wing. In S. jocelynae, the medial line is black; however, in S. rosea the antemedial line is black. They are otherwise unrelated. Description. Males and females similar. Antennae filiform, head, prothoracic collar, and thorax pink with scattered beige scales. Forewing length 16-17 mm. Dorsal forewing pink with pinkish white orbicular and reniform spots; median line black; antemedial line slightly paler than remainder of wing; postmedial line obscure but slightly paler than remainder of wing, edged distally with brownish scales; subterminal shade grayish brown with faint, obscure, jagged subterminal line; fringe white with faint dark medial line. Dorsal hindwing off-white with diffuse, grayish brown medial shade and wide grayish brown terminal shade not sharply demarcated; fringe white. Male genitalia. (Fig. K-7) Valve bends slightly upward, rounded at apex with distinct corona; ampulla of clasper bends posteriorly and then dorsally with terminal spine. Vesica about twice as long as aedeagus, bends gently to the right at base; a ribbon of spine-like cornuti extends from base of vesica to tip along distal side of vesica; a second patch of longer cornuti cornuti extends from this ribbon to a dense patch of spine-like cornuti on proximal side of vesica; Stout terminal spine-like cornutus extends dorsally with adjoining tuft of fine cornuti. Female genitalia. (Fig. P-7) Ovipositor lobes rounded with scattered setae; a corona of short setae surrounds the ovipositor ca. 0.1 mm from apex, these setae are produced at 90° to the abdomen; ductus bursae short and broad with sclerotized ventral plate; corpus bursae absent, i.e. bursae copulatrix unisaccate, entirely made up of appendix bursae, narrows toward ductus bursae and anterior tip where ductus seminalis arises. Type material. Holotype male: Utah, San Juan Co., Comb Ridge west of Bluff, 28 ix 2003, George J. Balogh, in the CNC. Paratype: 1♀: Utah: San Juan Co., Comb Ridge west of Bluff, 27 ix 2003, George J. Balogh. Etymology. I am honored to name this species for Jocelyn Gill in recognition of her dedication to the study of entomology in Canada. Distribution. Sympistis jocelynae is known only from the type locality in San Juan Co., Utah.

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.
