Mesosoma: pronotum rugose, short (Fig. 12); mesonotum and scutellum coriaceous; notauli scrobiculate, meeting posteriorly in wide rectangular rugose striate area; subalar sulcus and sternaulus strongly rugose, rugosities often covering most of mesopleuron which is coriaceous at least above episternal scrobe; propodeum strongly rugose dorsally, coriaceous laterally, median carina complete. Legs: tarsal claws not pectinate; inner spur of hind tibia less than 1/2 length of hind basitarsus; hind coxa coriaceous dorsally. Wings: hyaline; fore wing with vein r 2/3 length of 3RSa and 4/5 length of mcu, vein 1cua beyond 1M by distance equal to length of 1cua, 1CUa 1/3 length of 1CUb; hind wing with vein RS slightly arched in middle, marginal cell narrowest in middle, vein 1rm slightly shorter than 1M, M+CU longer than 1M, vein mcu indicated by short noninfuscated line. Metasoma: terga 1–3 strongly costate, terga 4 weakly costate sometimes at extreme base, otherwise coriaceous, remainder of terga coriaceous; first tergum length equal to apical width; ovipositor barely exerted, less than 1/2 length of hind basitarsus.

Deposited in USNM, RMSEL, UNH, AEI, MISS, CAS, FSCA, MSU. Distribution. Known from New Hampshire, Quebec, Maryland, Florida, Texas, California and Arizona. Biology. Unknown. Comments. This species is one of the smallest species in the genus and its short antennae will distinguish it from all others. The disjunct distribution of the type series is curious but we are confident that all specimens are the same species. Etymology. The species name is from the Latin brevis meaning short in reference to the short antennae and body.

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.
