Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bradysia exsequialis (Skuse, 1890) comb. n. (Figs 12 A‒C, 3 B) Sciara exsequialis (Skuse, 1890) [Skuse (1890): 409 ‒410]. Type locality. Australia, Victoria, Benalla. Lectotype (here designated): Male. Slide bears original label data (Fig. 3 B) verbatim ‘ S. exsequialis / Ƌ ♀ (ink) TYPE./ F. A. A. Skuse’ (print), ‘Benalla/ Nov. Helms.’ (ink). Mounted in Canada balsam Dec. 2015. (ANIC; Slide No. 018-1). Paralectotypes. 2 males, 1 female (018-4: in copula with paralectotype 018-3), same data (1 male, 1 female in ANIC, 1 male in PWMP; Slide No. 018-3); 4 specimens missing. Remarks. Original description states “ Hab.—Benalla, Victoria (Helms). Eight specimens in November.” Preservation. Flagellomeres missing (in paralectotypes the flagellomeres are present), all other details in good condition. Additional description. Male. Head. Brown. Eye bridge 3 facets wide. Antennae brown, necks rather short, brownish, weakly bicoloured; 4th flagellomere with l/w-index of 4.0, with dense hairs, that are somewhat longer than the width of the basal node; palpus short, 3-segmented, basal segment with sensory pit and 2 bristles. Thorax. Brown, scutum with three somewhat darker stripes and long prescutellar as well as a few long lateral bristles; scutellum with 4 longer marginal bristles; postpronotum bare. Wing brownish; R1 = 3/4 R; R5 with dorsal macrotrichia only; C = 2/3 w; y = x, without macrotrichia; M-fork as long as M-stem; posterior veins without macrotrichia. Haltere short, yellow. Legs brown; fore tibia with a rather short comb of 4 pale bristles; spurs of middle and hind tibia equal in size, somewhat longer than the width of apex of tibia; claws without teeth. Abdomen. Brown, with sparse and rather short hairs. Hypopygium brown, with broad v-shaped ventral base, without lobe or patch of bristles; gonocoxite with short sparse fine hairs at the inner ventral margin; gonostylus bulbous, without apical tooth, with 2 spines dorsally and five subequal apical spines; tegmen apically straight, with large area of rather strong teeth and with short ventral parameral apodeme; aedeagus rather short, robust. Body length: 2.6 mm. Female. Flagellomeres shorter than in males, all other characters are identical in both sexes. It is characterized by a pale haltere (in contrast to the dark thorax) and a long M-fork. Comments. This species is characterized by a dark brown thorax with yellow halteres and brown legs, long densely hairy flagellomeres, by a bulbous gonostylus with 2 apical spines and 5 spines below, and an apically truncate tegmen with a large area of rather strong teeth and a short ventral parameral apodeme. It belongs to the B. hilaris group. Distribution. Australia (Victoria).
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.
