Parapterogramma poeciloptera (Papp, 2008) comb. nov. Minialula poeciloptera Papp, 2008: 92, figs 93–102, 320. Minialula poeciloptera – Marshall et al. 2011: 249. — Hayashi 2011: 69. Type material Holotype TAIWAN – Taipei • ♂; Fu-Shan Long Term Ecological Research Site; 27 Mar. 2003; L. Papp leg.; along/over a small river; HNHM. Paratypes TAIWAN – Taipei • 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀; Han-Lo-Dé; 450 m a.s.l.; 29–30 Mar, 2003; L. Papp leg.; forest undergrowth; HNHM • 2 ♂♂; Pinling; 319 m a.s.l.; 17 Apr. 2003; L. Papp leg.; over/along Jinggualiao River; HNHM. Material examined Holotype photo provided by Petra Szöllősi-Tóth, HNHM. Redescription BODY. Length 1.4–1.8 mm. Head dark brown, lower portion of frons reddish with silvery microtomentum on interfrontal plates, orbital plates, and occiput. Antenna with a rounded dorsal conus. Thorax dark brown. Scutum with pale grey and brown microtomentum forming five pale longitudinal stripes.Anterior dorsocentral bristles separated by 8–10 rows of acrostichal setulae. Legs dark brown, femora apically and tibiae proximally yellow, fore and hind basitarsomeres whitish. Mid tibia with two anterodorsal and two posterodorsal bristles on proximal half; male mid tibia with long hair-like apicoventral seta only. Wing pattern strong. CS2 0.6× CS3. R 2+3 distinctly sinuate, angled at ~40° to costa; costa extending just beyond apex of R 4+5 (~1 × costal width). M 1 extending beyond dm-m as a very faint crease; M 4 indistinct beyond dm-m; CuA+CuP long and tubular. Halter pale brown with dark stem. MALE ABDOMEN. S5 broad, uniformly long-setose, slightly desclerotized and setulose posteromedially. S6 with a posteriorly-projecting setulose lobe located behind posteromedial emargination of S5. Surstylus long but low, bilobed: anterior lobe elongate, bare, and sharply bent posteroventrally into a V-shape, posterior lobe rounded and setose. Postgonite short but broad, bent at about midlength, apical half with two rounded, posteroventral triangular lobes flanking a rounded ventral emargination (exaggerating depth of emargination), apex broadly rounded. Phallapodeme elongate, apex curving downwards and pointed; basiphallus large, subtriangular in lateral view and V-shaped in dorsal view, with an elongate, apically rounded and downturned epiphallus. Distiphallus stout, largely membranous, supported by curled, weakly sclerotized lateral sclerites. FEMALE ABDOMEN. T3–5 and S2–5 shortened but broad. T6 and T7 well-developed, rectangular; T8 split into two lateral plates. Epiproct largely reduced. S6 and S7 well-developed, rectangular; S8 trapezoidal. Hypoproct largely reduced. Spermathecae stout, subcylindrical, and smooth with a large, broad but not deep, apical invagination, stem short and membranous. Distribution Indomalayan: Japan (Hayashi 2011), Taiwan (Papp 2008). Remarks The above redescription of Pa. poeciloptera is based on Papp’s (2008) description, Hayashi’s (2011) redescription, and a photo of the holotype. This species, along with Pa. continentalis and Pa. tropicalis, form a distinct clade of similar species formerly treated as Minialula (see above). Parapterogramma poeciloptera has a long, hair-like apicoventral seta on the male mid tibia, unlike the stout apicoventral mid tibial bristle of Pa. continentalis and Pa. tropicalis.

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.
