Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hincksella brevitheca Galea, 2009 Fig. 9h Hincksella brevitheca Galea, 2009: 61, figs. 1B, 2A–I. Type locality. Cuba: off Cayo Largo (21°35'06''N, 81°35'19'' W), 15 m (Galea 2009). Voucher material. Palm Beach, 0.75 miles (1.2 km) offshore, 29 m, 22.vii.1974, Johnson-Sea-Link, JSL 1173, diver lockout, one colony, 2.3 cm high, without gonophores, coll. J. Prentice, ROMIZ B1079. Remarks. Hincksella brevitheca Galea, 2009, recently described from Cuba, is reported for only the second time. Similar nominal species in the western Atlantic include Sertularella formosa Fewkes, 1881 and S. hartlaubi Nutting, 1904, both of which are referable to Syntheciidae Marktanner-Turneretscher, 1890 and to the genus Hincksella Billard, 1918, as currently defined. Galea (2009) examined type material of Hincksella hartlaubi and concluded that it was conspecific with H. formosa, a conclusion also held by Vervoort (1959). As with the original account of Hincksella brevitheca by Galea (2009), material from Florida had (1) stem internodes each with three hydrothecae and an apophysis bearing a hydrocladium, (2) hydrocladia with few or no nodes, (3) shallow and deeply immersed hydrothecae, each thickened at the margin and given off at an angle of about 30° with the stem. These characters distinguish the species from others of the genus. Although previously known only from southern Cuba, Galea (2009: 63) noted that the species presumably occurs throughout the Caribbean Basin. In support of his view, two additional records of it from the Caribbean can be added here based on material in collections at the Royal Ontario Museum (Cayman Islands: Grand Cayman Island, caves in coral reef west side, just north of Georgetown, 10 m, 26.xi.1980, one colony, without gonophores, coll. A. Logan, ROMIZ B1990; Panama: Bocas del Toro area, Swan’s Key, 09°27’12.2”N, 82°18’01.8”W, 1–4 m, 07.viii.2004, two colonies, without gonophores, coll. L. Kirkendale, no collection number). The specimens from Panama were reported as Sertularella hartlaubi by Calder & Kirkendale (2005). Gonophores of the species have yet to be described. Reported distribution. Atlantic coast of Florida. First record. Western Atlantic. Florida (reported herein) to the Caribbean Sea (Galea 2009; Calder & Kirkendale 2005, as Sertularella hartlaubi).

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.
