HONDURAS: 1 ♀, 1 ♂ (FSCA) Francisco Morazán, Cerro Uyuca, 2000 m, 3.xii.1989, coll. V. & S. Gupta. Diagnosis. Head black. Scape and pedicel of antenna white, flagellum orange. Mesosoma reddish orange; propleuron blackish; pronotum with anterior lower part blackish, dorsoposteriorly whitish; mesepimeron whitish. Tegula white. Pterostigma pale brown. Fore and mid legs predominantly whitish (especially coxae, trochanters and trochantelli). Hind leg with coxa and femur orange (femur apically whitish); trochanter, trochantellus, tibia and tarsus whitish; tibia slightly infuscate apically. Metasoma reddish brown, darkened posteriorly. Malar space very short, about 0.1× as long as basal mandibular width. Submetapleural carina as a short tubercle anteriorly. Nervellus intercepted in lower 0.3–0.35. Tergites 1–5 distinctly transverse, strongly and densely punctate, with hind margins not reduced; tergite 6 with hind margin weakly reduced. Ovipositor weakly compressed, with nodus, with upper margin somewhat concave behind nodus; ventral teeth strongly oblique. Ovipositor sheath 0.6–0.8× as long as metasoma. Scambus albitibia is similar to S. hirticauda (Provanvher) occurring in Canada and USA but differs from this species by the following features: 1. Ovipositor not especially thickened apically, its sheath 0.6–0.8× as long as metasoma. Mesosoma reddish orange, only propleuron and pronotum with blackish and white marks..................................... S. albitibia (Morley) - Ovipositor apically spear-shaped, with raised nodus, its sheath 1.0–1.2× as long as metasoma. Mesosoma reddish orange with black markings on mesopleuron and propodeum. [Canada, USA (California, Arizona). Not recorded from Mexico.]...................................................................................... S. hirticauda (Provancher) Variation. Female from Amilcingo in Morelos possesses hind tarsi with tarsomeres unusually short, probably abnormal. Distribution. Mexico (Tamaulipas, Nayarit, Jalisco, Querétaro, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Puebla, Veracruz, Guerrero, Morelos, Chiapas), Honduras, El Salvador. Biology. Reared from Mocis latipes (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on Oryza sativa L. and Digitaria sp. (Poaceae) in Honduras (Cave 1992). The parasitoid attacks host larva, and 1 to 24 adult parasitoids emerge from each pupa. Several cases of multiparasitism of S. albitibia and Lespesia parviteres (Aldrich & Webber) (Tachinidae) were registered. Only one adult of L. parviteres and 2 to 10 adults of S. albitibia emerged from each host (Cave 1992).
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.
How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
