Abstract
Bledius basalis LeConte, 1877 NEW BRUNSWICK: Queens Co.: Jemseg, 8.VI.2003, R.P. Webster, silver-maple forest, moist bare clay, (1, RWC). NOVA SCOTIA: Annapolis Co.: Melveryn Square, 24.VI.1992, E. Georgeson, light trap, (9, NSNR); Halifax Co.: Petpeswick, 23.VI.1971, B. Wright, (2, NSMC). Bledius basalis is newly recorded in New Brunswick. Its distribution in Atlantic Canada is shown in Fig. 14. Herman (1976) indicated that the species was found in coastal habitats from Texas north to Rhode Island. Howden (1970) recorded the species from Sable Island (Nova Scotia), the only previously known Canadian location. The above specimens collected from Petpeswick and Melveryn Square establish the occurrence of this species on the mainland of Nova Scotia. All the sites where this species has been recorded in the United States are coastal and most are slightly moist, slightly vegetated sand flats adjacent to the ocean (Herman 1976). This is true of Petpeswick, a sandy inlet on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. Melveryn Square, however, lies in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, although it is only 9 km from “Sand Banks”, a sandy coastal beach on the Bay of Fundy, and B. basalis is macropterous and a capable flier. Jemseg (New Brunswick) is 70 km inland from the Bay of Fundy, however, it is located on the shores of Grand Lake, which at 174 km 2, is the largest freshwater body in Atlantic Canada. This would appear to indicate that B. basalis, while occurring predominantly in coastal localities, can also be found in appropriate inland sites away from the ocean.

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.
