Atrichopogon (Meloehelea) downesi Wirth 1980
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Atrichopogon (Meloehelea) downesi Wirth Atrichopogon (Meloehelea) downesi Wirth, 1980: 129 (West Virginia); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 6 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution). Discussion. Females in the subgenus Meloehelea Wirth of Atrichopogon are ectoparasites of blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) and other closely related beetle families (Wirth 1980). However, Wilkening et al. (1985) noted that “…undescribed species probably occur in Florida. Florida material in this subgenus has not been studied and we have no records.” Borkent and Grogan (2009) listed six species in the subgenus Meloehelea in North America north of Mexico, including A. (M.) ladislavi Tóthová that was recently described from Ontario, Canada (Tóthová et al. 2009). The most common and widespread species of Meloehelea in North America, A. (M.) downesi Wirth, ranges from Minnesota to Nova Scotia, south to North Carolina and Tennessee (Borkent and Grogan 2009). We discovered a female from Liberty Co., Florida in the FSCA that we determined as A. (M.) downesi in Wirth’s (1980) key as well as the updated key to Holarctic species in the subgenus Meloehelea by Tóthová et al. (2009). This Florida specimen is virtually identical with four female paratypes of A. downesi from Virginia and Maryland as well as three other females from Wicomico Co., Maryland and a female from Hocking Co., Ohio (WLGC). This is the first Florida record of this species, and it suggests that it may be more widely distributed in the southeastern United States than previous records indicate. New records. Liberty Co., Torreya St. Park, 20-V-1966, H. V. Weems, 1 female (FSCA). New Florida state record.

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.
