Abstract
Domene alesiana nov.sp. (Figs 9-17, Map 1) Type material: Holotype: " TAIW. Kaohsiung Hs., Rd. abv. Tona For. Sta., [Fork] 1850 m, 29.IV.98, A. Smetana [T191] / Holotypus Domene alesiana sp. n., det. V. Assing 2013" (cSme). Paratypes: 1: same data as holotype (cAss); 1 [damaged: two legs missing; abdomen partly eaten by Anthrenus sp.]: "TAIW. Kaohsiung Hs., Rd. abv. Tona For. Sta., km 16-17, 1700- 1800 m, 28.IV.98, A. Smetana [T190]" (cAss). Etymology: This species is dedicated to Aleš Smetana (Ottawa), who collected the type material and who, through numerous field trips and publications, significantly contributed to our current knowledge of the staphylinid fauna of Taiwan. Description: Body length 9.2-10.3 mm; length of forebody 5.4-5.9 mm. Antenna 3.5-3.7 mm long. Habitus as in Fig. 9. Coloration: body blackish; legs blackishbrown with paler tarsi; antennae dark-brown to blackish-brown, with antennomere I blackish. Other external characters (Figs 10-13) as in D. scabripennis. : sternite VII (Fig. 14) strongly transverse, with short unmodified pubescence, posterior margin broadly concave; sternite VIII (Fig. 15) transverse, with shallow median depression, this depression with unmodified pubescence, posterior excision not very deep and rather broad, on either side of this excision with cluster of short black setae; aedeagus (Figs 16-17) approximately 1.1 mm long; ventral process very slender and nearly straight in lateral view; dorsal plate lamellate and moderately sclerotized, with long apical and very short, weakly sclerotized basal portion. Comparative notes: Based on the similar external characters, the similar modifications of the male sternites VII and VIII, as well as on the similar morphology of the aedeagus, D. alesiana is undoubtedly most closely related to D. scabripennis, from which it differs particularly by the distinctly darker coloration of the legs, the shallower and broader posterior excision of the male sternite VIII, as well as by the slightly different shape of the ventral process of the aedeagus. Distribution: The known distribution is confined to the environs of Tona Forest Station, Kaohsiung Hsien, southern Taiwan (Map 1). The type specimens were sifted from debris and mouldy leaf litter at bases of rock walls and along a large rotting tree in remnants of primary broadleaved forest (SMETANA pers. comm.) at altitudes between approximately 1750 and 1850 m.
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.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
