Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gonaphodioides ratcliffei new species (Fig. 89-93) Type locality. 20 mi S. Juchatango, Rt 131, 6000’, Oaxaca, Mexico. Type repository. Canadian Museum of Nature (Howden Collection), Ottawa, Canada. Description. Length 3.5-4.0 mm; elongate, moderately convex, rather shiny glabrous. Dark chestnut brown; clypeal margin, anterior angles of pronotum and elytral apex paler; legs reddish brown; antennal club brownish-red. Head with epistome feebly convex medially, evenly, rather coarsely, densely punctured throughout; clypeus slightly sinuate at middle, subangulose at sides, rather thickly bordered, edge faintly upturned, glabrous; genae obtuse, almost imperceptibly ciliate, protruding from the eyes; frontal suture finely impressed; front identically punctured as epistome. Pronotum transverse, moderately convex, densely, simply, evenly punctured; punctation somewhat denser on sides; lateral margins subparallel, faintly inwardly sinuate before hind angles; rather thickly bordered, edge glabrous; hind angles obliquely truncate, truncation feebly inwardly sinuate; base slightly bisinuate. Scutellum somewhat elongate, coarsely, not closely punctured on basal two thirds. Elytra moderately elongate, almost parallel-sided, minutely denticulate at shoulder, finely striate; striae rather superficially punctured, not crenulate; interstriae almost flat, distinctly, rather coarsely, not closely punctured. Hind tibiae upper spur shorter than first tarsal segment; first tarsal segment longer than following three segments combined. Male: fore tibiae relatively slender and more elongate; head and pronotum more transverse and less convex; metasternal plate with median longitudinal groove deeper; aedeagus Fig. 92-93. Female: fore tibiae relatively shorter and stouter; head and pronotum less transverse and more convex; metasternal plate with median longitudinal groove superficial. Type material. MEXICO: Oaxaca: 20 mi. S Juchatango, Rt 131, 6000’, 27-30.V.1971, leg. Newton A. (male holotype, allotype and 5 paratypes, CMNO; 2 paratypes, DCGI). Distribution. Known from the type locality only. Etymology. Named in honor of professor Brett Ratcliffe, curator of insects at the University of Nebraska State Museum, Lincoln, Nebraska. Bionomics. All specimens of the type series were collected in May.
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.
