Parapterogramma tropicalis Kuwahara & Marshall & Luk 2025, comb. nov.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Parapterogramma tropicalis (Hayashi, 2013) comb. nov. Minialula tropicalis Hayashi, 2013: 353, figs 2, 8–10. Type material Holotype INDONESIA – Bali • ♂; Kintamani; 18 Mar. 1993; T. Hayashi leg.; NIID. Material examined No specimens of M. tropicalis were examined. Redescription BODY. As described for Pa. continentalis, except as follows: length 1.6 mm. MALE ABDOMEN. S5 broad, uniformly long-setose with a distinct, rectangular, posteromedial lobe with dense posterior setulae. S6 with an elongate, posteriorly-projecting setulose lobe located behind posteromedial lobe of S5. Surstylus long but low, bilobed: anterior lobe elongate, bare, and almost folded posteroventrally so it runs parallel with ventral surface of epandrium, posterior lobe rounded and setose. Postgonite short but broad, slightly bent at about midlength, apical half with an anterodorsal triangular lobe and two posteroventral triangular lobes flanking a rounded ventral emargination (exaggerating depth of emargination), apex rounded. Phallapodeme elongate, apex broadened and tapered; basiphallus large, triangular 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. Female unknown. Distribution Indomalayan: Indonesia (Bali) (Hayashi 2013). Remarks The above redescription of Pa. tropicalis is based on Hayashi’s (2013) description of the species. Parapterogramma tropicalis, Pa. continentalis, and Pa. poeciloptera form a distinct clade within Parapterogramma (see discussion of Minialula in Introduction). Parapterogramma tropicalis is externally almost identical to M. continentalis, from which it can be distinguished by its posteromedially protruding male S5 and rounded postgonite apex; it can be distinguished from Pa. poeciloptera by the stout, apicoventral bristle on the male mid tibia.

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.
