Abstract
Neotridactylus apicialis (Say 1825) Figs. 21A–D, 22A, 23 Type locality. USA: Florida: St. John’s River, and Iowa: Council Bluff, on Missouri River. Holotype repository. The type material is lost according to Günther (1975). Etymology. Presumably apicialis refers to the apical edges of the wings; in the original description, Say (1825) describes “...wings edged and tipped with blackish”. Distribution. Günther (1975) describes this as the most wide-ranging species of the genus, with specimens recorded from Peru to southern Canada. All the Florida material examined by Günther, as well as all material collected during the present study, is from the northern ⅔ of the state (as far south as Lakeland), although we note that there is a single iNaturalist record of a nymph from Miami-Dade county, indicating that it likely occurs sporadically across the entire state. Variation. Günther (1975) indicated that there is considerable variation in several morphological characters across the wide range of this species, including coloration, overall body size, wing length, and shape/spination of the foretibia, but that characters of the male and female terminalia were uniform throughout. He did not describe subspecies within N. apicialis. Perhaps most striking and noticeable among these variable morphological characters is the shape of the foretibia. As described by Günther (1975), “…the central notch between the digging spines at the distal edge can be more or less deep, and the two forked branches can be asymmetrically shaped”. Examples of this latter variation can be seen in Fig. 21C and 22A. The only specimens I have seen which possess these striking forelimbs are from northern Florida and Georgia, and in all other respects they matched the description of typical apicialis. Notably, N. archboldi and N. insularis sp. nov. never have foretibia with asymmetrically shaped lobes as in these individuals. Interestingly, all the specimens examined with this morphology are males, suggesting some sort of sexual selective pressure at work, but there is too little evidence to say anything for certain.

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.
