Nemognatha plaumanni BORCHMANN 1942
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nemognatha plaumanni Borchmann, 1942 (Meloidae: Nemognathinae) was described based on a single specimen (holotype by monotypy) from Nova Teutônia (Type locality: “... Brasilien; Nova Teutonia, Rio Grande do Sul”) collected by F. Plaumann (Borchmann 1942: 708). The type locality, Nova Teutônia, is located at 27°09’49.6’’S – 52°25’27.0’’W, and about 350 m of elevation, in the western region of the State of Santa Catarina [not in Rio Grande do Sul as indicated by Borchmann (1942)]. The Fritz Plaumann Museum of Entomology is currently located in Nova Teutônia. * Author for correspondence Since its description, N. plaumanni has not been mentioned again in any subsequent publication, remaining then as an obscure, almost unknown species from Southern Brazil. However, during the revision of the entomological collections of the Magyar Természettudományi Múzeum (Hungarian Natural History Museum, HNHM, Budapest) and the Natural History Museum (NHM, London), we had the opportunity of studying three additional specimens, all from Nova Teutônia and captured by Fritz Plaumann: (1) N. Teutonia Bras. Santa Catarina. Plaumann 25-XI-50 / Sammlung George Frey / Nemognatha plaumanni Borch., Z. Kaszab det. 1952 [HNHM] (Fig. 1); (2) Brasilia. 15-II-1935. Santa Catharina. Nova Teutonia. leg. F. Plaumann / — / Nemognatha plaumanni Borch., Z. Kaszab det. 1952 [HNHM]; (3) S. Catarina. N. Teutonia. F. Plaumann [NHM]. According to these data, the species was found only in Nova Teutônia, with specimens collected occasionally from the end of November to mid-February. Variability among the specimens studied was observed at the shape of the pronotum: broader and less campaniform in one specimen (Fig. 1), narrower and campaniform in the second. The latero- anterior impression observed in the pronotum of one specimen is likely a consequence of manipulation. During a field survey in the Cordillera de la Costa of the State of Vargas (Venezuela) we found a single specimen, morphologically assignable to N. plaumanni. This extremely distant location was subsequently confirmed with the study of four additional specimens held at the entomological collection of the Museo del Instituto de Zoología Agrícola (MIZA, Maracay) with the following data: (1) Venezuela: Aragua: El Limón, 450 m: 20-IV-1965, 1 ejemplar (J. & B. Bechyne leg.) [MIZA] (Fig. 2); (2) Venezuela: Aragua: El Limón, 450 m: 2-X-1966, 1 ejemplar (J. & B. Bechyne leg.) [MIZA]; (3) Venezuela: Aragua: El Limón, 450 m: 2-VI-1977, 1 ejemplar (B. Bechyne leg.) [MIZA]; (4) Aragua: El Limón, 450 m: 7-VIII-1977, 1 ejemplar (B. Bechyne leg.) [MIZA]; (5) Venezuela: Vargas: 3 km al SO de Chichiriviche, Río Chichiriviche, 10°32’N, 67°14’O, 135 m: 18-II-2004, 1 specimen, “en un tallo de gramínea seca” (M. García- París, J. Manzanilla, D. Buckley & I. Martínez- Solano leg.). Adult specimens were found in the Venezuelan Cordillera de la Costa in the States of Aragua and Vargas, in February, April, June, August, and November, suggesting that adults are active during most of the year. Variability amongst the Venezuelan specimens was similar to that observed amongst the Brazilian specimens.

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.
