Abstract
Pseudopterogramma deemingi (Richards, 1973) comb. nov. Fig. 69 Leptocera (Pterogramma) deemingi Richards, 1973: 367. Pterogramma deemingi – Marshall 1989: 606. — Roháček et al. 2001: 213. Type material Holotype PAPUA NEW GUINEA • ♂; Mafulu; 1219 m a.s.l.; Jan. 1934; L.E. Cheesman leg.; BMNH. Paratypes PAPUA NEW GUINEA • 3 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀; same collection data as for holotype; BMNH. One of the males is labelled as “on fungus”. Material examined The type series was examined by SAM in the Natural History Museum in 1989. Redescription BODY. Length 1.3–1.5 mm. Head reddish-brown, darkened posteriorly. Thorax dark brown with pale pleural sutures. Ventral surface of male mid tibia with two rows of stout setae along apical quarter; mid femur with one short corresponding row of proximoventral setae; female mid tibia with a large apicoventral bristle. Hind tibia with only fine dorsal setulae. Wing infuscate with pale base and wide, pale vertical band just beyond R 2+3. R 2+3 strongly curved forwards. MALE ABDOMEN. Preabdomen dark brown. Epandrium wedge-shaped; cercus slightly enlarged; hypandrium curved upwards. Surstylus long and low, projecting anteroventrally as a long, thin lobe with three ventral setae. Postgonite long, tapered and curved forwards. Distiphallus large, with a long, apically bifurcated ventral sclerite supporting two large membranous dorsoapical flaps. Other characters not described or illustrated. FEMALE ABDOMEN. Cerci apparently similar to those of Ps. conicum. Other characters not described. Distribution Australasian/Oceanian: Papua New Guinea. Remarks The above redescription of Ps. deemingi is based on Richards (1973), supplemented by SAM’s examination of the type series in 1989. This species certainly belongs in the genus Pseudopterogramma, as it has all characters noted in the diagnosis above, as well as male genitalia that are similar to those of other species of Pseudopterogramma, with bilobed, slightly V-shaped surstylus, long, curved postgonite, and large, membranous distiphallus with a long ventral sclerite. Illustrations of the male genitalia are not provided here as those in Richards (1973) are adequate.
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.

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.
