Atlas of Neotropical Lepidoptera 3: 31. Type species: Meskea dyspteraria Grote, 1877, by monotypy. Taxonomic history. Grote (1877) described the genus to accommodate Meskea dyspteraria from Bastrop, Texas, USA; type species. Diagnosis. Meskea is distinguished from the remaining genera of Siculodini by: (i) wings with general ocher coloration stained by dark ocher to grayish spots, and diffuse whitish spot with dark pupil on the apex of both sides (Fig. 4); (ii) hindwing lanceolate, (iii) abdomen in both sexes subequal to forewing; (iv) choremata on the eighth segment of males; (v) uncus and tegumen fused; (vi) gnathos Y-shaped; (vii) valva formed by two parts; (viii) aedeagus larger than the valva; (ix) vesica without cornuti; (x) without signum and (xi) papillae anales taller than long. Redescription. Forewing: length—males 16.0 mm (n = 40), females 18.8 (n = 40); apex rounded and outer margin slightly convex; retinaculum below CuA 2. Hindwing: length—males 11.5 mm (n = 40), females 13.9 (n = 40); lanceolate, apex projected, outer margin concave; white submarginal broad band on both sides, extending from the costal margin close to the apex, to the base; male with one and female with two bristles in the frenulum. Male genitalia (Fig. 8): tegumen rectangular in dorsal view, slightly longer than wide; saccus in ventral view reduced and with numerous thin and long setae in the posterior portion; uncus fused to tegumen and of the same length, serrated on the dorso-lateral margins, up to the posterior tip, the latter directed ventrally and coated with thin and short setae immediately after the base; gnathos Y-shaped, forming a loop and with a median ventral projection; valva formed by two parts, both with setae on the inner face, dorsally elongated and posterior half bifid (the structure is distorted in figure), and ventrally elongated with spinous anterior process; fultura inferior rectangular and distally crenulated (the structure is distorted in figure); aedeagus cylindrical, straight and long, larger than the valva, with proximal opening for the ejaculatory ductus rounded and vesica without cornuti. Female genitalia (Fig. 12): tergum VIII square in lateral view, lamella antevaginalis and ostium slightly sclerotized; posterior apophyses longer than the anterior apophyses; bursae copulatrix with the anterior third of ductus bursae sclerotized and corpus bursae half the length of the ductus, without signum; papillae anales taller than long and covered with short a thin setae. Etymology. According to Grote (1877), the genus was named after a lepidopterologist from Albany, USA— Otto von Meske.

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.
