This species is most similar to the Thailand species C. areeluckorum sp. nov. on the basis of pleural colouration (yellow), but can be distinguished by the yellow colouration on the lateral margin of the scutum not extending to the upper notopleural seta; surstylus rectangular with crest of setulae projecting posteriorly and inner projecting process. Description (wing length 2.4–3 mm). Male. Head: Oval, dark brown. Face narrower than width of antennal bases, narrower at mid-length, with lateral setulae; pale bluish pruinescence covering entire face, not tapered to antennal bases, faded between antennal bases to ocellar triangle. Ocellar triangle with pair of divergent ocellar setae, longer than pair of vertical setae. Antenna brown; arista-like stylus less than twice length of remaining antenna. Thorax: Scutum brown, with thin pruinescence; yellow along lateral margin from postpronotal lobe to notopleuron, not extending dorsally to upper npl; postalar ridge yellowish; dark spot at base of wing. Pleura yellow with thin pruinescence (Fig. 11). Several very minute acrostichals anterior to first dc; 5 dc; 1 pprn, thin and reduced; 1 presut spal; 1 strong upper npl, lower npl slender, similar to pprn; 1 posterior psut spal; 1 pal, thin; 2 sctl, similar to prescutellar dc. Laterotergite with several brownish setae. Legs: Coxae and ventral faces of femora yellow, remaining segments brown. Fore femur with anteroventral and posteroventral rows of short, slender, dark setae, length more than one-quarter width of femur. Hind tibia with strong dorsal and ventral setae on distal half, length nearly subequal to width of tibia. Wing: Narrow; infuscate; pterostigma absent; single long basal costal seta present; cell dm produced distally. Halter yellowish brown. Abdomen: Sclerites dark brown, with thin pruinescence, similar shade to thorax. Terminalia (Fig. 15): Hypandrium triangular, longer than epandrium, tapered distally, without lateral setae. Phallus straight with expanded apex of shaft and triangular expansion posteriorly; distiphallus slender, arched apically with expanded tip, more than one-half length of shaft. Ejaculatory apodeme slender. Epandrium rectangular, with long, thin setae. Clasping cercus digitiform, flattened, with tapered apex; inner face with peg-like setae confined to extreme anterior and dorsal margins. Surstylus triangular, tapered to beak-like projection, with inner, projecting, slender process; dorsal margin with prominent posterior crest. Female. Similar to male, except as follows: face dull brown; fore femur without row of ventral setae. Etymology. This species is named in reference to the beak-like apex of the surstylus. Distribution and Ecology. This species has a wide distribution from Bhutan, northern Thailand (Loei and Kamphaeng Phet Provinces) across northern Vietnam into southern China in Guangdong (Fig. 26). In Thailand all records are from 1,306 –1,600 m in EM forest habitat but in Bhutan it occurred at 1,600 –2,360 m and at lower elevation in Vietnam (930 m) and in lowland Guangdong at only 581 m. Label data include specific habitat details in only one case (“creeks”) and it is very likely that C. rostrata sp. nov. is associated with lotic habitats. Seasonal preferences are difficult to discern.Adult emergence evidently coincides with monsoon rains in Bhutan. In Thailand and perhaps Vietnam an apparent peak of adult abundance occurs just before or in the early wet season (a very common phenology of insects in seasonal tropical biotopes). In Thailand and Guangdong there is also a late peak of abundance at the end or just after the end of the wet season. It is possible that this species avoids the wettest periods. Remarks. This species is similar to C. stackelbergi (Vaillant) on the basis of male terminalia, but differs in the more strongly attenuated surstylus and more greatly expanded apex of the phallic shaft.

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.
