Meriola decepta Platnick & Ewing, 1995: 8. Diagnosis. Males (Figs 26–27) resemble those of M. arcifera and M. peras sp. nov. by the elongate abdomen and the oval shape of the bulb. They differ from both by the small, rounded RTA. Meriola decepta males also differ from both species by lacking dark rings on the legs. Females (Fig. 25) resemble those of M. peras sp. nov. by the absence of an epigynal hood, with a wide median field, and by having large, almost contiguous S2, but differ by the shorter, not arc-shaped epigynal lateral ridges. Description. See Dondale & Redner (1982) for male and female descriptions. Natural history and habitat. Several specimens were found in leaf litter in gardens and houses. Distribution.

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.
