Bibliographic record
Abstract
Scythropochroa macleayi (Skuse, 1888) comb. n. (Fig. 28 A‒C) Sciara macleayi (Skuse, 1888) [Skuse (1888): 673 ‒674, Fig. 1]. Type locality. Australia, New South Wales, Lawson. Lectotype (here designated): Male. Slide bears original label data verbatim ‘ Sciara macleayi / Ƌ (ink) TYPE./ F. A. A. Skuse’ (print), ‘Lawson/ M’. Mounted in Canada balsam Dec. 2015. (ANIC; Slide No. 032-1). Paralectotypes. Male. Original label data verbatim ‘ S. macleayi ’, ‘ Bowral (M)’. Mounted in Canada Balsam Sept. 2015. (PWMP; Slide No. 032-3). 1 male and 2 females (not studied). Preservation. Flagellomeres lost; thorax strongly damaged, legs partly destroyed, hypopygium in good condition. Remarks. Original description states “ Hab.—Lawson and Glenbrook, Blue Mountains, also Bowral (Masters); Manly, near Sydney (Skuse).” Additional description. Male. Head. Brown. Eye bridge 4 facets wide; flagellomeres missing; palpus 1- segmented. Thorax. Brown, scutum with rather long and dense dorsocentral and lateral hairs; scutellum covered densely with rather long bristles, marginal bristles not developed; mediotergite with an irregular row of short bristles in the proximal third as well as short bristles on the sclerite behind the first spiracle and on the katepisternum in the proximal angle; postpronotum bare. Wing brownish; R1 rather long, longer than R, joining C distally from the base of the M-fork; R5 throughout with dorsal and ventral macrotrichia; C = ½ w; y longer than x, both with macrotrichia; M-stem weakly visible, sometimes with 1‒3 macrotrichia; M-branches and CuA1 with a few macrotrichia distally. Haltere short, brown. Legs brown; apex of the fore tibia with a large patch of dark bristles; spurs of middle and hind tibia equal in size; claws without teeth. Abdomen. Brown, with rather long dense hairs. Hypopygium with broad open ventral base, without lobe or patch of bristles; gonocoxite rather short and strong, with rather long and moderately dense hairs on the inner ventral margin, ventral apex without long megaseta; gonostylus nearly as long as gonocoxite, apically broad and forehead shaped, with short dishevelled hairs, angular near the middle and with 3 short black spines, inner side above spines with longer bristles; tegmen pyramid-like and apically pointed, laterally shouldered, with fine hair-like teeth and with a short and broad ventral parameral apodeme; aedeagus rather short and thin, with a small furca. Body length: 5.0 mm. Comments. This large species is characterized by a 1-segmented palpus, bristles on thoracic sclerites, brownish wings with long R1, macrotrichia on branches of M-fork, CuA1, y and x; large gonostylus with high forehead-like shaped apex and 3 short spines on a corner near the middle. It is a typical species of the genus Scythropochroa. It shows similarities to Scyth. parapectinea Mohrig from Papua New Guinea (Mohrig 2013) by the arrangement of the spines on the inner side of the gonostylus. Distribution. Australia (New South Wales).

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.
