Abstract
Vespa simillima Smith Fig. 4 The specimen identified as Vespa simillima (Fig. 4) was re-confirmed morphologically using the key of Smith-Pardo et al. (2020). Both primer pairs were successful in amplifying the COI gene, resulting in a 596 bp assembled sequence (GenBank Accession OL702714). A GenBank BLAST found this sequence was 99.83% identical (one base pair different) to a Vespa simillima specimen from South Korea (Accession KY172037), with an E value of 0.0 and bit-score of 1096. Including the Canadian specimen, there are 28 sequences of V. simillima in the BOLD database from South Korea (16), Japan (9), Russia: Primorsky Krai (1) and one of unstated country (KF933080) published in Perrard et al. (2013) that was collected in Japan (Perrard, pers. comm.). All sequences are grouped in a single BIN (ACB8610) with a maximum sequence divergence between species of 1.77%. Material examined: CANADA: 1 ♀, British Columbia, Shawnigan Lake, viii.1977, collected live, A. Rumsby, ENT991-24452 (RBCM) (Fig. 4); JAPAN: 2 ♀, Hokkaido, Tomakomai, 25.viii.1983, M. Ito (CNC). Distribution: Southeast Asia including Myanmar, parts of China, eastern Russia, Korea, and Japan, adventive in northwest Nearctic (Cannings 1989). Diagnosis: Vespa simillima can be distinguished from other Vespa species that have been recorded in Canada by a combination of the following characters: 1) length of gena less than 1.6× length of eye at midheight in lateral view (Fig. 4B), 2) pretegular carina incomplete, not spanning the height of the pronotal lobe, 3) female clypeus with punctures medially shallow, separated by one puncture diameter or more (Fig. 4C); 4) male metasomal sterna 6–7 with posterior margin deeply emarginate medially.
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.
