Abstract
Hemaris aethra (Strecker, 1875) stat. rev. Macroglossa aethra Strecker, 1875: 107, pl. XIII, fig. 2. Type locality: Montréal [Québec], Canada. [FMNH; Fig. 11] COmPARISON Of SERIES Of SPECImENS fROm bOTH SPRINg ANd SUmmER bROOdS Of THE TWO EASTERN SPECIES STUdIEd HERE SHOW THAT THREE dIAgNOSTIC TRAITS Of THE AdUlT PHENOTYPE Of THE CRYPTIC SPECIES (TAblE 2) ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE HOlOTYPE Of H. aethra (FIg. 11): OVERAll lARgER SIZE (WINgSPAN 48 mm); STRAW-YEllOW dORSOlATERAl VESTITURE THAT EXTENdS INTO SEgmENT A4; ANd mORE EXTENSIVE REddISH-bROWN PATCH Of THE fOREWINg APEX. AlSO, THE TYPE lOCAlITY Of MONTRéAl, QUébEC IS IN THE CENTRAl PART Of THE SPECIES’ RANgE. THE HOlOTYPE EXAmINEd ClOSElY mATCHES THE IllUSTRATION IN STRECKER’S (1875) ORIgINAl dESCRIPTION (FIg. 11). BARNES & MCDUNNOUgH (1910) RECOgNIZEd aethra AS A SUbSPECIES dISTINCT fROm OTHER EASTERN NORTH AmERICAN diffinis (bASEd SOlElY ON AdUlT PHENOTYPE), ANd ARRANgEd diffinis INTO PARAPATRIC SUbSPECIES, WITH aethra fROm NORTHERN ONTARIO THROUgH QUébEC INTO MAINE, ANd diffinis TO THE SOUTH. BARNES & MCDUNNOUgH AlSO STATE THAT aethra IS lARgER WITH mORE YEllOW VESTITURE ANd mORE REddISH SCAlINg IN THE fOREWINg APEX. THE CHARACTERIZATION Of Hemaris diffinis aethra bY BARNES ANd MCDUNNOUgH IS THEREfORE AlSO fUllY CONSISTENT WITH THE CRYPTIC SPECIES IdENTIfIEd HERE.

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.
