Named for its distribution throughout the Scotia Arc. Diagnosis and description. Solitary, located in cysts along ambulacral grooves of host, near mouth or on arms (Fig. 2 A–B). Holotype body folded along anterior-posterior axis, dorsal side inward (Fig. 2 C–E). Length ~ 9 mm, width ~ 6 mm following fixation. Mouth and cloaca terminal. Five pairs of reduced parapodia with small chaetae, approximately midway between midline and body margin (Fig. 2 C–E). Live color cream, faded in preservative. Remarks. Endomyzostoma includes seven gall-forming taxa that reside in stalked crinoids— E. cryptopodium (Wheeler, 1896), E. clarki (McClendon, 1906), E. belli (Wheeler, 1896), E. eremita (Wheeler, 1896), E. deformator (Graff, 1884a), E. pentacrini (Graff, 1884a), and E. robustum (Hara & Okada, 1921) [transferred to Endomyzostoma here]—and seven (possibly eight) other cyst-forming taxa on feather star crinoids. Most cyst forms have been recorded from multiple hosts, these records likely representing different species. Endomyzostoma inflator (Graff, 1883) was described from Adelometra angustiradia (Carpenter) from southwest West Papua (Indonesia) and later recorded from Neocomatella pulchella (Pourtalès) from the Barbados in Graff (1884a). Endomyzostoma tenuispinum (Graff, 1884a) was described from four host species— Glyptometra inequalis (Carpenter), Glyptometra angusticalyx (Carpenter), Charitometra basicurva (Carpenter), and Charitometra incisa (Carpenter) —from three sites in the Pacific. Endomyzostoma murrayi (Graff, 1883) was described from Horaeometra duplex (Carpenter) from St. Vincent and the Grenadines (Caribbean) and subsequently recorded in the Pacific on Adelometra angustiradia by Graff (1884a). Endomyzostoma beardi (Graff, 1887) [here transferred to Endomyzostoma] was recorded from the Arafura Sea (Australia) on Monachometra flexilis (Carpenter). Another possible member of Endomyzostoma is Myzostoma willemoesii Graff, 1884a, which was described from the Kermedec Islands and southwest of Fiji on Charitometra basicurva (Carpenter) and Glyptometra inaequalis (Carpenter). The specimens were described from a cyst, but possessed 20 long cirri and lateral organs, the latter feature is absent in all other members of Endomyzostoma. This specimen was folded along an axis so that anterior and posterior ends meet, while Endomyzostoma are otherwise folded at 90° to this, along the anterior-posterior axis such that the lateral margins meet. Myzostoma willemoesii may therefore be a juvenile stage of a free-living Myzostoma and we leave it in that genus pending further collection and study. Endomyzostoma cysticolum (Graff, 1883) was described from Cape Frio, Brazil, associated with Comactinia meridionalis (Agassiz). A variety and a sub-species of E. cysticolum have also been named, both of which we raise to species rank. Endomyzostoma cysticolum cystihymenoides (McClendon, 1907) (now E. cystihymenoides) was described from Florometra asperrima (AH Clark) in Arctic waters. Endomyzostoma cysticolum orientale (McClendon, 1906) (now E. orientale) was recorded from Calometra discoidea (Carpenter) in Japan. Endomyzostoma cysticolum has also been reported from many different crinoids species from the Caribbean Sea, Red Sea, Japanese and Indonesian waters, and from Antarctica (Grygier 2000). Many of these records are likely unrecognized Endomyzostoma species. Sequences available online for E. cysticolum (GenBank DQ238194, DQ238165, DQ238130) published in Lanterbecq et al. (2006) and the mitochondrial genome for Endomyzostoma sp. MZ-2009 (GenBank FJ975144) published in Bleidorn et al. (2009) are from specimens of Endomyzostoma scotia n. sp. Among Endomyzostoma associated with feather stars, E. tenuispinum and E. beardi are distinguished by the presence of cirri (14 and 20 respectively). All other forms lack cirri, and are separated based on host, locality, and in some cases, size. Endomyzostoma scotia n. sp. is the first species of Endomyzostoma described from Antarctica, as well as in association with Promachocrinus.

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.
