Abstract
Family Rhagionidae The biting snipe flies, Symphoromyia, are rarely encountered in the eastern USA and the taxonomy of eastern species of Symphoromyia is poorly defined (Turner 1974). Western species, such as S. flavipalpis Adams, can be persistent biters of humans and wildlife such as the American bison (Ross 1940; Burger 1995a). Eastern species are not known to feed on humans but readily bite dogs (Burger 1995a). Some people have severe anaphylactic reactions to Symphoromyia bites (Turner 1978). Symphoromyia species have bloodfeeding behavior similar to that of the Tabanidae but are not known to transmit any pathogens (Burger 1995a). Steyskal (1949) did not list Symphoromyia among the Rhagionidae of the Park. Symphoromyia hirta Johnson Collections: North Carolina, Swain Co., Andrews Bald, 3 June 2001, 22 June 2001, Malaise trap, coll. I. Stocks. Females of S. hirta were found on hilltops at high elevations in the Park. This snipe fly is not known to bite humans in the Park and the natural bloodmeal source for females is unknown. The larval stages and oviposition sites are likewise unknown. Brimley (1938) reported this species from Spruce, Haywood Co., in June. Shemanchuk & Weintraub (1961) were repeatedly attacked by S. hirta or a related species in Canada, but no reports of similar biting behavior exist for the Park.
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.
