Aspicera carinata belongs to the group of species with prominent interfoveal carina and lateral surface of pronotum without sharp transverse carinae. This species is similar to A. dianae having long and slender scutellar spine and scutellum flat in lateral view. But they can be distinguished by the dorsal view of the scutellum, which is flat in A. dianae and roof-shaped in A. carinata. Description Length. Males 4.0– 4.6 mm.; female unknown. Coloration. Head, mesosoma and metasoma black. Scape and pedicellum black, flagellomeres dark brown. Leg reddish brown. Wing veins light brown. Head. Frons coriaceous, rugose, with punctate sculpture between central and lateral ocelli. Lateral frontal carinae curved, weak near ocelli. Area between compound eye and lateral frontal carinae with small transverse carinae. Gena in lateral view rounded, not expanded, coriaceous, with numerous transverse carinae. Vertex not incised, coriaceous, punctate, with transverse furrow on central area. Ocelli weakly prominent. Occiput coriaceous with very thin and incomplete transverse carinae basally, longitudinal weak carinae behind ocelli. Antenna. Subclavate. Antennal formula: 14(8): 4(6): 14.5(5): 11(6): 11(6): 11(6): 10(6): 10(5.5): 9.5(5.5): 9.5(5): 9(5): 9(5): 20(5) Mesosoma. Lateral surface of pronotum coriaceous. Subpronotal plate not projected, dorsal margin with few scattered setae or glabrous. Scutum coriaceous, with transverse carinae. Lateral line incomplete, sharply noticeable on ventral half. Antero-admedian lines sharp, prominent, reaching 1/3–1/2 scutum length, parallel; median ridge prominent. Notauli wide, smooth, with transverse carinae, sometimes effaced on central area and sharp near margin. Median mesoscutal furrow smooth. Area between notauli sharply prominent in lateral view. Parascutal sulcus ending near anterior end of notauli, sharply pubescent, smooth posteriorly, alutaceous on dorsal 1/2. Mesopleuron coriaceous, sometimes with some punctate sculpture on anterior 1/3, smooth posteriorly. Scutellum 0.95–1.2 times scutum length, emarginate. Scutellar foveae rugose, quite deep, small compared to scutellar disc, scutellar pits shallow. Interfoveal carina very much prominent, strongly noticeable in lateral view, continuing along scutellar disc until beginning of scutellar spine. Scutellar disc flat, with sinuous longitudinal carinae and irregular transverse carinae between them, with small carinae along scutellar margin, very slightly sloping towards basis of scutellar spine in lateral view. Scutellar spine 0.70–1.0 times length of scutellar disc, wide and sharp, with fine longitudinal rugae, clearly directed downwards in lateral view. Wing. Wing membrane hyaline. Radial cell 0.75–1.0 longer than wide. Wing pubescence reduced. Marginal pubescence absent. R1 short. R2 curved. Rs+M absent. Derivatio nominis. Specific name refers to the sharp interfoveal carina present in this species. Biology. Unknown. Distribution. Nearctic. USA (Connecticut, Montana, North Carolina, Virginia) and Canada (Ontario).

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.
