Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Alajuela, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector San Cristobal, Sendero Perdido; 10.87940, -85.38607; 620 m; 09.x.2013; Gloria Sihezar leg.; Host: Microsca paullula; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0054638; Host voucher code: 13-SRNP-5498. Paratypes. Costa Rica • 28 Females, 1 Male, CNC; DHJPAR 0047270, CNC 5342657 (there are more specimens in gel capsule attached to pin), CNC 5342658, DHJPAR 0053763, DHJPAR 0054604, CNC 5342659, CNC 5342660, CNC 5342661, DHJPAR 0054586, DHJPAR 0047262, CNC 5342662 (there are more specimens in gel capsule attached to pin), CNC 5342663, DHJPAR 0049111, DHJPAR 0051782, DHJPAR 0049101, CNC 5342664, CNC 5342665, CNC 5342666 (there are more specimens in gel capsule attached to pin), CNC 5342667, CNC 5342668, CNC 5342669 (there are more specimens in gel capsule attached to pin), CNC 5342670, CNC 5342671, CNC 5342672 (there are more specimens in gel capsule attached to pin), CNC 5342673 (there are more specimens in gel capsule attached to pin), CNC 5342674, CNC 5342675 (there are more specimens in gel capsule attached to pin), CNC 5342676, CNC 5342677. Diagnostic description. F 15 length> 1.5 × its width; sculpture on anteromesoscutum and propodeum coarse and deeply indicated (rarely shallow); T 1 mostly parallel-sided but slightly broadening near posterior margin; T 1 with strong, longitudinal striae on posterior 0.5; T 2 transverse, with anterior and posterior margins sinuate; T 2 mostly sculptured, but with smooth areas centrally and along margins; ovipositor sheath 1.0–1.1 × as long as metatibia; tegula and humeral complex brown; longitudinal strip on metasternum yellow (rarely bright yellow); pro- and mesocoxae yellow-brown to pale brown, metacoxa dark brown to black; pro- and mesofemora entirely yellow; metafemur mostly (except for anterior 0.1) and metatibia mostly (except for anterior 0.2–0.3) brown; body length: 2.10–2.58 mm; fore wing length: 2.28–2.85 mm. Among species with mostly sculptured T 2, D. scottmilleri can be distinguished by its T 1 and T 2 shape and sculpture, anteromesoscutum and propodeum sculpture; legs color and overall body appearance less shiny and less smooth than closest (i. e., similar morphologically) species; F 15 length is the main diagnostic character to separate it from D. robpringlei. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. Gregarious. Thyrididae: Microsca paullula. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: AAC 2174 (41 sequences, 35 barcode compliant) and BOLD: ACE 8823 (5 sequences, 3 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Dr. Scott Miller of the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C., USA, for his two decades of steady and enthusiastic interest in, and support of, all the GDFCF and ACG activities as a member of the Board of Directors for the Guanacaste Dry Forest Conservation Fund in its integration with Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Notes. Specimens from this species appear in BOLD as two different BINs (BOLD: AAC 2174 and BOLD: ACE 8823) that however have identical barcodes. Morphology is also similar so they are considered to be the same species here.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
