Designation of a Neotype for <i>Oeneis melissa</i> (<i>Fabricius</i>, 1775) and a Lectotype for <i>Oeneis polixenes</i> (<i>Fabricius</i>, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Oeneis melissa (Fabricius, 1775) “neotype” designations of Lukhtanov and Eitschberger (2000; 2001) do not meet several critical requirements of the ICZN and are therefore invalid. In addition, the locality data is too vague to be taxonomically useful, their “neotype” specimen is a specimen of the taxon generally known as O. melissa semplei, and acceptance of their specimen as neotype would change the meaning of the taxon Oeneis melissa. Hence, I reject their neotype designation. A neotype Oeneis melissa (Fabricius, 1775) is designated from Nain, Labrador with careful consideration of the Articles of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The ‘barcode’ mtDNA (CO1 gene) structure for the neotype is provided. The original number of type specimens of Oeneis polixenes (Fabricius, 1775) is unknown and a holotype was not designated explicitly or through implication; therefore, the type specimens are syntypes. There is one specimen that has been identified as a syntype of O. polixenes in the Natural History Museum in London (formerly the British Museum of Natural History), and no other extant specimens are known. I have expressly and deliberately designated the specimen in the collection of the Natural History Museum in London, as the lectotype of Oeneis polixenes (Fabricius, 1775) (ICZN Article 74.7.3) to fix a specific phenotype for the name.

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.
