Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cassiadelges Havill & Brunet, subgen. nov. Type species. Adelges (Cassiadelges) coccipus Havill & Brunet, by present designation. Etymology. A noun in apposition stemming from the Latin cassida, meaning “helmet,” in reference to the prominent cephaloprothoracic shield in adult exules. Diagnosis. Adult exulis. Feeds on Larix secondary hosts. Head and pronotum completely covered with plates fused into a cephaloprothoracic shield. Ventral spiracles present on abdominal segments II–VI. Only acuminate setae on abdominal segments VIII–IX. Remarks. Monotypic, including only A. (Ca.) coccipus at present, pending the description of an additional species, A. (Ca.) nr. coccipus, collected from Larix in Sichuan, China (Table 1). This additional species has fully developed legs in the adult stage, so lacking legs is not a diagnostic character of Cassiadelges. Annandina is the only other subgenus in Adelges with a complete cephaloprothoracic shield in the adult exulis stage. Cassiadelges differs from Annandina in feeding on Larix vs. Tsuga secondary hosts and by Annandina having knobbed setae on the distal abdominal segments.
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.
