Bibliographic record
Abstract
Scrobipalpa nupponeni sp. nov. Figs 11–13, 71, 72 Type material. Holotype ♂, Russia, Altai Republic, 45 km N of Ulagan vill., Chulyshman valley, 51°01′56″N; 88°00′43″E, grassy steppe, rocks, 600 m, 4–5.vii.2019 (Šumpich) (NMPC). Paratypes: 4 ♂, same data as for holotype (gen. slide 282/20, OB) (Barcode NMPC-LEP-0621); 1 ♂, same locality but 27–28.vi.2015 (Šumpich) (gen. slide 258/20, OB) (Barcode NMPC-LEP-0605 [failed]) (all NMPC); 1 ♂, Russia, S-Buryatia, 50°58-59’N, 106°38- 40’E, 550-600 m, Chikoy valley, Novoselenginsk vill. 10 km S, sand dunes/sandy steppe, 24.vi.2002 (Nupponen) (Barcode TLMF Lep 28344); 1 ♂, same data as for preceding (gen. slide 175/16, OB) (all NUPP). Diagnosis. The new species is recognizable externally by its small size and the forewing rarely mixed with yellow to light brown. The similar species S. saxatilis (Povolný, 1996) comb. nov. is larger (wingspan 13.0 mm), the light brown irroration is more distinct, the brown spot in the corner of the cell is absent. The broad sub-quadrate uncus, narrow sacculus and short vincular process are characteristic of the male genitalia. The close species S. voltinella (Chrétien, 1898) is somewhat similar in respect of the shape of uncus and tegumen, but other characters are quite different. Description. Adult (Figs 11–13). Wingspan 8.0–9.0 mm. Head, thorax and tegula white with occasional yellow-tipped scales, frons white; labial palpus white with occasional brown-tipped scales on outer margin; scape of antenna white mixed with light brown, flagellomeres white ringed with brown. Forewing white mottled with light brown especially below costal margin and along termen; fold, termen and veins in distal half mixed with yellow; diffused yellow spot in middle of cell, light brown spot surrounded with yellow-tipped scales in cell corner; cilia grey, brown-tipped. Hindwing white, veins and margins light brown, cilia yellowish-brown. Variation. Specimens from Altai are darker than those from Buryatia, with head, thorax and the ground colour of the forewing grey rather than white. Male genitalia (Figs 71, 72). Uncus slightly longer than broad, weakly narrowed apically, posterior margin straight. Gnathos short, curved at about one-half; tegumen nearly as broad as long, with gradual transition to uncus, anteromedial emargination broadly rounded, extending to 1/3 length; cucullus gradually curved before middle, distinctly broadened at base and slightly broadened apically, extending to top of uncus; sacculus straight, 1.2 width of cucullus at base, about 1/5 length of cucullus, with short pointed tip; vinculum 2.5 times as broad as long, posteromedial emargination triangular at base and parallel-sided in distal portion, vincular process short, as broad as sacculus, apex rounded with pointed outwardly curved tips, with rather broad gap to sacculus; saccus parallel-sided to 3/4, then pointed, slightly extending beyond top of pedunculus; distal portion of phallus moderately broad, nearly parallel-sided, apex rounded, apical arm slender, at right angles to phallus; caecum rounded, moderately inflated, about 1/3 length of phallic tube. Female. Unknown. Biology. Adults were collected in late June—early July in various kinds of rocky steppes, sandy and dry mountain steppes at an elevation of 600 m. Molecular data. BIN: BOLD: AEC7920. The intraspecific average distance of the barcode region is 2.05% (n=2). The minimum distance to the nearest neighbour, an unidentified species of Scrobipalpa from Canada (BIN: BOLD:AAG9134), is 8.1 % (p-dist) (Fig. 1). Distribution. Russia: Altai, Buryatia. Etymology. The new species is named in honour of the late Kari Nupponen, collector of part of the type series, in recognition of his outstanding contribution in exploring the Gelechiidae of Altai and Buryatia.

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.
