Abstract
3. PACHYBRACHIS AltIColA Fall, 1915 (Figs. 5, 6) Pachybrachys alticola Fall 1915: 442. Pachybrachis alticola: Riley et al. 2003: 155 (catalog). Type. Fall’s (1915) male type, hereby designated lectotype, labeled “ ♂ // Beulah / N. M. / 7/02 [hand-inked, white paper] // TYPE [printed] / alticola [hand-inked, white paper] // H.C. FALL / COLLECTION [printed, white paper] // M.C.Z. / Type [printed] / 24914 [hand-inked, red paper] // [circular blue disc signifying dissection by RJB] // LECTOTYPE / Pachybrachys / alticola Bowditch / R. J. Barney 2020 [printed, red paper]”, was examined, dissected, and photographed (Fig. 5). Redescription. Male. Yellow, elytra with standard black maculation, black pronotal M (Fig. 5); L = 2.60–3.03 mm (mean = 2.80 mm, n = 3); W = 1.35– 1.56 mm (mean = 1.44 mm, n = 3); L/W = 2.48–2.55 (mean = 2.52, n = 3). Head: Slightly wider than thoracic apex, HW = 0.95–1.05 mm (mean = 1.00 mm, n = 3); IOD = 0.31–0.34 mm (mean = 0.33 mm, n = 3); IOD/HW = 0.40–0.43 (mean = 0.42, n = 3); face yellow with thin brown macula descending from vertex to between eyes; ocular lines near upper lobes of eyes; antenna not reaching elytral declivity. Pronotum: Yellow, black M-shaped macula well defined; incomplete punctation, side margins smooth; PL = 0.75–0.90 mm (mean = 0.81 mm, n = 3); PW = 1.14–1.27 mm (mean = 1.21 mm, n = 3); PL/PW = 0.83–0.92 (mean = 0.87, n = 3). Elytra: Yellow, baso-sutural punctures confused, striae mostly regular, standard maculae black. Pygidium: Yellow, with base, a median and two side spurs black. Venter: Black, upper sides of last ventrites yellow. Legs: Yellow, front claws not enlarged. Genitalia: Median lobe in en-face view parallel-sided, rounding at ALM to terminus. In lateral view, median lobe rather generic with short setae at ALA. Three males from two states were dissected. Remarks. Fall (1915) listed P. alticola as possibly a darker form of P. laevis. However, examination of the median lobes allows quick separation of the species. The opportunity to examine a pair of specimens from Garland, Colorado listed in Fall (1915; see Distribution section) revealed them to have distinct ocular lines and a different median lobe; thus, they are not P. alticola. Distribution. Riley et al. (2003) reported P. alticola from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Alberta, Canada (Fig. 6). Biological Notes. Ward et al. (1977) reported P. alticola from mesquite (Prosopis) (Fabaceae). Specimens Examined. Lectotype, paralectotype + 1 specimen. USA: COLORADO: El Paso Co., Colorado Springs, 6,000 to 7,000 ft., vi, Wickham Collection [1♂, PARATYPE, USNM]. NEW MEXICO: San Miguel Co., Beulah, 2.vii [1♂, LECTOTYPE, MCZ-FALL]; Socorro Co., viii.1894, Snow [1♂, HCF, SEMC].

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.
