Bibliographic record
Abstract
Atheta (Hydrosmectomorpha) quebecensis Webster and Klimaszewski, new species (Fig. 32–38) Holotype (male). Canada, Quebec, Bellechase Co., St. Raphael at Rivière du Sud, 46.8071°N, 70.7377°W, 27.VIII.2009, R.P. Webster, coll. // river margin near waterfall, splashing exposed bedrock with moss near fast flowing water above waterfall, (CNC). Paratypes. Same locality data as the holotype (RWC) 1 female. Etymology. This species name derives from the name of the province of Quebec, where the original series was found. Diagnosis. Body subparallel, flattened, length 3.6–3.8 mm; colour dark brown to almost black, with legs and elytra except for scutellar region paler, yellowish-brown (Fig. 32); integument moderately glossy, forebody with fine, moderately dense punctation and faint meshed microsculpture; head slightly narrower than pronotum, eyes large and slightly protruding; antennae moderately robust, all antennomeres at least slightly elongate (Fig. 32); pronotum subquadrate, widest at apical third (0.62 mm); elytra flat- tened, distinctly elongate and broader than pronotum (0.77 mm, at shoulders), at suture about as long as pronotum; abdomen subparallel, broadest at apical third. Male. Tergite VIII with apical margin slightly sinuate, without teeth (Fig. 34); sternite VIII arcuately emarginate basally and broadly rounded apically (Fig. 35); tubus of median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view moderately wide, ventral margin curved basally, then straight to narrow, slightly curved apex (Fig. 33). Female. Apical margin of tergite VIII slightly sinuate, shallowly emarginate medially (Fig. 36); sternite VIII shallowly emarginate at base, apical margin truncate medially, rounded laterally (Fig. 37); spermatheca short, capsule club-shaped with deep apical invagination, stem narrow and straight, with spherical swelling posteriorly (Fig. 38). Distribution. Origin: Nearctic. CANADA: QC. Habitat and collection data. Habitat. Found along margin of fast-flowing river above a waterfall. Adults were in exposed moss covered bedrock. The rarely collected Bembidion (Pseudoperyphus) rufotinctum Chaudoir (Carabidae) occurred in the same habitat. Collecting period. VIII. Collecting method. Collected by splashing exposed moss-covered bedrock in river.
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.
