Bibliographic record
Abstract
Subspecies villosulum Synonymy Melitta villosula Kirby, 1802: 62. Type: 1 ♂, England (NHMUK013380582), male lectotype designated by Ebmer 1988: 649. Examined by DGN (Fig. 6). Melitta punctulata Kirby, 1802: 66. Type: 1 ♀, England, [Kent] Barham (NHMUK013380583). Syn. by Dalla Torre 1896: 90. The holotype examined by DGN (Fig. 7), is a typical L. villosulum villosulum, small size, large sparse punctures, etc. It does not agree with the pseudocryptic species. Halictus hirtellus Schenck, 1869: 311. Type: 1 ♀, Germany, Elberfeld near Letmathe an der Lenne, leg. Cornelius (SMF), lectotype designated by Ebmer 1975: 244; syn. by Blüthgen 1920: 278, 1930: 743. Examined by AP (Fig. 5). Halictus pauperatulellus Strand, 1909: 44. Holotype: ♂, Algeria, Blidah-Médéah, Jul.–Aug. 1884, leg. Quedenfeldt (MNHUB). Syn. by Blüthgen 1922: 318. Examined by AP (Fig. 8). Halictus barkensis Blüthgen, 1930: 224. Types: “ 1 ♀, 1 ♂ ”, Libya, Bengasi, 20 Aug. 1924, coll. Blüthgen (MNHUB), not examined. Halictus villosulus perlautus Cockerell, 1938a: 82. Holotype: 1 ♂, Morocco, Asni, Aug. 1930, leg. Cockerell (NHMUK013380275). Syn. by Warncke 1973: 290. Examined by DGN. Halictus rufotegularis Cockerell, 1938b: 7. Holotype: 1 ♀, Morocco, Ifrane, 27 Aug. 1930, leg. Alice Mackie (AMNH). Syn. by Ebmer 1976: 253 (21 March) and Warncke 1976: 95 (15 October). Examined by AP (Fig. 9). Halictus villiersi Benoist, 1941: 80. Holotype: ♀, Morocco, Djebel Tachdirt, 2500 m, 15–31 Aug. (MNHN). Syn. by Warncke 1973: 290. Examined by AP (Fig. 10). Remarks Halictus hirtellus The type of Halictus hirtellus Schenck, 1869, was examined by Blüthgen (1920: 278). Blüthgen (1930: 743) also mentions our pseudocryptic species as a form needing more research and he specifies that it is not Halictus hirtellus (“die nicht etwa hirtellus Schck ist”). Ebmer (1975) designated a lectotype from Letmathe an der Lenne (51°22′ N, 7°36′ E), a locality in Germany, that is out of the distribution of the new sub-Mediterranean pseudocryptic species L. medinai (the specimen from Germany in the cluster of L. medinai comes from a locality further south: Baden-Württemberg, Müllheim, 47°49′ N, 7°37′ E). Halictus barkensis Blüthgen described this species as close to L. villosulum, but with a longer head. Ebmer (1974: 188; 1976: 253) considered L. barkense as a valid species occurring in Morocco (Grand Atlas), Libya, Israel and Turkey, but Warncke (1976: 94), Ebmer (1988: 649) and Pesenko (2007a: 41) considered it a synonym of L. villosulum. Halictus villiersi The type of H. villiersi is relatively small (6 mm), the punctation of the scutum is relatively dense and the propodeum is relatively well wrinkled. Ebmer (1974: 188; 1976: 253) considered L. villiersi as a synonym of L. barkense (Blüthgen, 1930) but Ebmer (1988: 649) reassessed it as a synonym of L. villosulum.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
