Abstract:

Il saggio si concentra sulla morte dello zoologo Filippo De Filippi, avvenuta il 9 febbraio 1867 a Hong Kong durante la circumnavigazione del globo della corvetta a elica italiana Magenta. Viene proposta integralmente una lettera del 29 agosto 1867 spedita da Bernardo Viganò, il missionario del Seminario Lombardo delle Missioni Estere di Milano che assistette De Filippi nelle ultime settimane di vita, al direttore del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano, Emilio Cornalia. Questo documento, fino a oggi inedito, costituisce una preziosa testimonianza della morte di uno degli zoologi italiani più noti dell’Ottocento, tra i primi in Italia ad aderire alla teoria dell’evoluzione con la conferenza<em> L’uomo e le scimie</em> del 1864. L’articolo ricostruisce inoltre le polemiche e le poco note vicende testamentarie che seguirono alla morte di De Filippi. Il lavoro si serve di molti documenti inediti provenienti per la maggior parte dal carteggio di Emilio Cornalia, conservato nella Biblioteca del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano, dall’Archivio Storico dell’Università di Torino e dalla Biblioteca del Dipartimento di Biologia Animale e dell’Uomo della stessa Università.

Abstract:

Presso il Museo Civico di Catania è conservato un numero cospicuo di manufatti messicani in terracotta, riflesso di una moda molto diffusa tra Sei e Settecento, descritta in letteratura e documentata nelle nature morte dipinte. La fama di tali manufatti andò scemando dalla seconda metà dell'Ottocento, tanto che gli inventari siciliani tra fine secolo e quello successivo perdono memoria della loro provenienza.

Abstract:

Nella collezione ornitologica di Arrigoni degli Oddi, presso il Museo Civico di Zoologia di Roma, sono custoditi due esemplari di zigolo muciatto orientale Emberiza cioides. Questa specie è diffusa, come nidificante, dal Kazakistan orientale alle isole Curili. Gli scarsi report per l’Europa (Gran Bretagna, Finlandia, Spagna, Germania e Bulgaria) sono da considerarsi incerti e la presenza della specie in Italia è stata messa in discussione, per svariati motivi, nelle precedenti pubblicazioni. La catalogazione di entrambi gli esemplari, supportata dalle note autografe di Arrigoni degli Oddi conservate presso la biblioteca del Museo, rafforza la presenza in Italia dello zigolo muciatto orientale. D’altro canto, l’attribuzione dei due esemplari ad una determinata sottospecie, basandosi sulla misura dell’ala, resta dubbia. Al contrario, la colorazione del dorso, permette di assegnare entrambi gli esemplari alla forma nominale. Di conseguenza, il presente studio consentirebbe di inserire la specie nella check-list degli uccelli italiana, inserendola nella categoria AERC B4, dopo la valutazione da parte della Commissione Ornitologica Italiana (COI).

Abstract:

No living Opilioacarus species have been described from Europe for more than a century since the first finding and species description in the early twentieth century. Using the material deposited in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale of Verona, Italy, it was possible to identify and describe a new Opilioacarus species and review the genus diagnosis, using the shape of setae d and setation of the preanal segment. The new species is also briefly compared with the other Opilioacarus species; Opilioacarus italicus (With, 1904) is considered a nomen dubium.

A new species of Harpinia was discovered in Mediterranean specimens identified as Harpinia truncata Sars, held in collections at Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Verona. Examination of the Verona material proved that this species (Harpinia karamani sp. nov.) is morphologically distinct from Harpinia truncata, which has an arctic/boreal distribution. Further, in examination of material of Harpinia truncata from near its type locality, a rare male specimen was discovered. Herein, Harpinia karamani sp. nov. is described, illustrated and differentiated from H. truncata and the male of H. truncata is described for the first time.

Il tema di questo studio è l’analisi di un frammento inedito di uno specchio etrusco del Museo Archeologico di Milano, su cui figura Perse con harpè e kibisis, in una scena verosimilmente successiva all’esecuzione di Metus. Per individuare la scena, l’officina e l’ambiente in cui questo manufatto fu prodotto, è stato stilato un catalogo comprendente altri quattordici specchi su cui compare tale coppia, ciascuno dei quali presenta degli attributi tipici dell’eroe. Discussed are the iconographical aspects of a scene on an unpublished fragment of an Etruscan mirror preserved at the Archaeological Museum of Milan. The scene depicts Perse with harpe and kibisis after the killing of Medusa. To identify the complete subject of the scene, the workshop, and the environment in which this artefact was produced, a catalog has been assembled that includes fourteen more mirrors on which this couple appears, each of which shows the typical attributes of the hero.

Abstract:

The occurrence and the history of Neotropical mammal specimens in the collections of naturalistic museums in Rome, Italy, and their scientific utilization is here reviewed. These specimens belong to several scientific expeditions made after the discovery of the new Continent. The oldest specimens date back to the famous Museum of Athanasius Kircher at the Collegio Romano (1651) and to the Museo Zoologico della Università di Roma that was established inside the University of the Pontificial State (Archigymnasium) (1823). Many of these early specimens are now lost due to the complex history of Roman scientific museology, but some specimens are now available mainly in two institutions, the Museo Civico di Zoologia (established in 1932) and the Museo di Anatomia Comparata “Battista Grassi” of “Sapienza” University of Rome (1935). Among the numerous specimens, is noteworthy the presence of a hairy long-nosed armadillo, Dasypus pilosus, the first record in an Italian zoological collection and the 26th known specimen of this species in world museums. More recently, some Roman researchers have maintained a scientific interest for Neotropical mammals, including primates, with collaboration with South American mammalogists. A greater historical knowledge of scientific activities concerning the work of Italians researchers on Neotropical biodiversity should be pursued.

Abstract:

Abstract Seven unpublished illuminated fragments from the Museo Civico d’Arte Antica in Turin are examined and placed in the context of Lombard Late Gothic book illumination. An antiphonary with Proper and Commons of Saints decorated by the Master of the Modena Book of Hours is partially reconstructed. A miniature depicting the Imago Pietatis is traced back to one of that master’s masterpieces, the Parma Book of Hours. The well-known miniature with Saint John the Baptist is all that survives of a lost Book of Hours closely related to Michelino da Besozzo’s models, while an initial with Saint Augustine is traced back to a lost antiphonary made in Pavia, perhaps to be ascribed to the Master of Laura Bossi around 1485.

Abstract:

L’analisi di un’epigrafe in lingua greca, attualmente custodita nel Magazzino del Museo Civico del Comune di Catania “Castello Ursino” (inv. nr. 233) e relativa ad una Giulia Galene, la φιλόστολος, invita a riflettere sul significato da attribuire a questo appellativo, “amica della flotta” o piuttosto “amante della stola”. Il possibile riferimento all’uso dell’indumento distintivo della matrona romana permette di inserire l’epitaffio in un momento di poco precedente all’utilizzo dei titoli onorifici femina stolata o ματρῶνα στολᾶτα, attestati in molte regioni dell’Impero romano a partire dalla fine del II secolo d.C. L’apax φιλόστολος, se non rovescia del tutto il cliché di donna silenziosa e relegata tradizionalmente attribuito alla matrona, pone comunque in evidenza la “visibilità” e il ruolo pubblico di una donna che lasciò memoria di sé sulla pietra senza aver bisogno di una “legittimazione” maschile. Giulia Galene riuscì ugualmente ad “esprimersi” e a far giungere la propria “voce” sino a noi, non rimase in silenzio, pur “amando” la sua stola.

Abstract:

Nel presente lavoro sono riportate le attuali conoscenze faunistiche riguardanti i Coleoptera (Carabidae, Chrysomelidae) e i Lepidoptera (Hesperioidea, Papilionoidea) della Valle della Nava (Provincia di Lecco, Italia). Viene documentata l’attuale situazione ambientale in un’area ancora scarsamente soggetta alla pressione antropica, tramite lo studio delle comunità di questi gruppi tassonomici. Indagini analoghe hanno dimostrato in più di un caso di essere adatte ad evidenziare gli effetti dell’alterazione ambientale di un determinato territorio, consentendo di ricavare utili informazioni per la gestione degli habitat in esso presenti (Thiele 1977; Brandmayr 1983; Pizzolotto 1994, Balletto et al. 1982a, 1982b). I dati provengono da 7 anni di ricerche entomologiche effettuate con svariate tecniche di raccolta, a cui si aggiungono alcuni dati inediti ricavati dall’esame della collezione Brivio conservata presso il Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano. È stata rilevata la presenza di 180 specie (68 di Carabidae, 72 di Chrysomelidae, 40 di Lepidoptera Hesperioidea, Papilionoidea). Considerata la piccola dimensione dell’area di studio (circa 75 ettari) i dati ottenuti sono particolarmente indicativi e interessanti. Vengono infine esposte alcune considerazioni zoogeografiche e ecologiche.

Full text

Abstract:

Cercyon bononiensis Chiesa, 1964 was described from two specimens collected in northern Italy in 1924–1925. For some time, these specimens were identified as C. inquinatus Wollaston, 1854. Only 40 years later, having examined the type of the latter species, Chiesa (1964) realized that the two specimens belonged to an undescribed species that he then described as Cercyon bononiensis. Based on the chagrined elytra mentioned in the original description, C. bononiensis has been placed in the Cercyon tristis group by subsequent authors. Recently, we examined a small number of Cercyon specimens from northern Italy and surprisingly found two specimens of C. hungaricus Endrödy-Younga, 1967, an easily recognizable member of the C. tristis group which was previously considered a Pannonian endemic by Fikáček et al. (2009) but was recently also found in northern Germany (Bäse 2010). The presence of this unusual species led us to question whether C. hungaricus might be conspecific with C. bononiensis. This was subsequently confirmed by the study of the types of both species. Here, we provide a summary of our studies and synonymize C. hungaricus with C. bononiensis. Examined specimens are deposited in the following collections: Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary (HNHM), Museo Civico di Storia Naturale Milano, Italy (MSNM), collection of S. Rocchi at the Museo di Storia Naturale dell'Università di Firenze, Sezione di Zoologia "La Specola" (CRO).

Full text

Abstract:

A new species of mole-rat with a striking colour pattern is described from a single mounted specimen in the historical collection of the ‘Museo Civico di Zoologia’ in Rome, Italy. The lack of skull and original collecting data does not allow the gathering of firm evidences about its taxonomic relationships, geographical range and ecological preferences. This taxon is provisionally allocated to the recently created genus Fukomys Kock, Ingram, Frabotta, Honeycutt and Burda 2006 on the grounds of pelage colour pattern and geographical origin. All the available evidence, including label and other fragmentary historical data, supports Fukomys ilariae sp. nov. as originating from the Lower Shebelle region near Mogadishu, Somalia, historically known as Benadir. This discovery highlights the relevance for biodiversity conservation of the Horn of Africa and the need of further faunistic research to describe its fauna.

Full text

Abstract:

An illuminated Book of Hours (in use in Chalon-sur-Saône) currently owned by the Museo Civico di Arte Antica and displayed in the prestigious Palazzo Madama in Torino (Italy) was investigated by means of optical microscopy, fibre optic reflectance spectroscopy, fibre optic molecular fluorimetry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy. The aim of the scientific survey was to expand the knowledge of the manuscript itself and on the materials and techniques employed by Antoine the Lonhy, the versatile itinerant artist who decorated the book in the 15th century. The focus was to reveal the original colourants and to investigate the pigments used in rough retouches which were visible in some of the miniatures. The investigation was carried out in situ by portable instruments according to a non-invasive analytical sequence previously developed. It was evident that the use of different pigments by the master was ruled, at least partially, by a hierarchical scheme in which more precious materials were linked to the most important characters or details in the painted scene.

Abstract:

[Lanius excubitor is a polymorphic species with 12 subspecies. In the last years the taxonomy of this species has been reviewed several times. According to the literature, in Italy Lanius excubitor is a regular migrator, wintering and irregular nesting, occurring with three subspecies: L. excubitor excubitor, L. e. homeyeri and L. e. sibiricus. This paper aims at reviewing the subspecies actually occurring in Italy by analyzing the specimens preserved in the Arrigoni degli Oddi’s collection at the Museo Civico di Zoologia in Rome (Italy). The morphometrics and colouring of 66 specimens were examined in relation to the most recent literature data. This review allowed to demonstrate that all specimens described as L. e. homeyeri in this collection have to be attributed to the nominate subspecies; only the specimen described as L. przelwaskii (now L. e. leucopterus) is a true L. e. homeyeri. According to these data, the ssp. homeyeri must be considered very rare in Italy, contrarily to some previously reported information. Specimens ascribed to L. borealis sibiricus do not show the characters of this subspecies, consequently they should not be included in the check list of Italian species.] [Article in Italian]

Abstract:

Ao levar em consideração os estudos contemporâneos sobre as atitudes diante da morte e dos mortos, analisaremos, dada à relevância documental, temática e histórica, alguns epitáfios femininos presentes na região de Mediolanum, atual cidade de Milão. Sabemos que, embora não tenhamos vestígios de necrópoles, tal como em Isola Sacra, os testemunhos mortuários presentes no Civico Museo Archeologico di Milano apresentam uma vasta gama de estelas em pedras, lastras de monumentos funerários com guirlandas em pedra, altares e urnas funerárias em mármores, evidenciando a riqueza de uma região conhecida, à época de 49 a.C., como municipium ciuium romanorum. Sob esse aspecto, torna-se relevante analisar, por exemplo, uma elegante estela, datada entre os anos finais do século II d. C., como um raro testemunho de uma mulher que, sem dúvida, com uma forte personalidade, comissiona o monumento funerário aos seus familiares. A partir daí, compreendemos que os epitáfios imortalizavam os falecidos bem como estimulavam a pietas de seus familiares. Logo, ao fazer referência à epigrafia sepulcral, realçamos as conexões e as simbologias entre palavras escritas e faladas, pois, assim concebida, a repetição ritual evocava a memória do falecido.

Abstract:

Considering contemporary studies on attitudes towards death and the dead, we will consider, given the documentary, thematic and historical relevance, some epitaphs for females present in the region of Mediolanum, the modern city of Milan. We know that, although we do not have remains of necropolises, as in Isola Sacra, the mortuary evidences present at Civico Museo Archeologico di Milano exhibit a wide range of stone stelae, lastras of funeral monuments with stone garlands, marble funeral altars and urns, highlighting the richness of a region known, at the time of 49 BC, as municipium ciuium romanorum. In this respect, it becomes relevant to analyze, for example, a gorgeous stela, dated between the last years of the second century AD, as a rare testimony of a woman who, undoubtedly, with a strong personality, commissions the funeral monument to her relatives. Thenceforth, we understand that the epitaphs immortalized the deceased as well as stimulated the pietas of their relatives. Thus, in referring to the sepulchral epigraphy, we emphasize the connections and symbology between written and spoken words, for, thus conceived, ritual repetition evoked the memory of the deceased.

Abstract:

Here, I propose a revision of 19 specimens of turriculate gastropod (family Coelostylinidae) from the Esino limestone formation (Ladinian). They form part of the surviving material of the historic Stoppani Collection, which was almost totally destroyed in the Second World War. The collection is kept at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale in Milan, Italy. The specimens have already been described by Garassino (1992) but without a critical revision of their classification. Indeed, based on presumed likenesses with specimens reconstructed in <em>Paléontologie Lombarde</em> (Stoppani, 1858-60), Garassino believed he had rediscovered many of Stoppani’s holotypes. For his classification of the material, Garassino consulted a revision by Kittl (1899) but he did not take into account the much more realistic drawings of the Stoppani’s holotypes that Kittl published therein. A more detailed study, conducted by comparing the shapes and dimensions of the specimens with the drawings and original descriptions, and their reclassification, reveals that none of the specimens are, in actual fact, a holotype or more correctly a specimen described and illustrated by Stoppani, and that some have been assigned the wrong label. Nevertheless, the material and original handwritten labels are confirmed to be from Stoppani’s studies.

Abstract:

Althepus pictus Thorell, 1898 is the type species of the genus Althepus Thorell, 1898 from the family Psilodercidae Machado, 1951. This genus includes 60 species from Southeast Asia (WSC 2020). A. pictus was described on the basis of one male and one female from Carin Chebà mountains, elevation 600‒800 m, Kayin Province, Myanmar. Another female specimen lacking several legs was found in Farm Caves in Mawlamyine, Mon State, Myanmar. The original description was in Latin and without any figures. Fage (1912) redescribed it based on the same male and female type specimens from Carin Chebà, but without mentioning the female from Farm Caves. Fage (1912) provided measurements, but the figures of the male right palp are imprecise. The species is redescribed here based on the original male and female type specimens deposited in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale ‘Giacomo Doria’ (MSNG) in Italy. The male and female type specimens are the only known material of A. pictus. No information is available on the female specimen from Farm Caves, which maybe have been lost. No fresh material of this species has been collected in region during five subsequent expeditions to Myanmar tours organized by the Southeast Asia Biodiversity Research Institute in the years 2016–2020.

Full text

Abstract:

The pill millipede species Glomeris aurita Koch, 1847 remained of relative unknown origin and appearance until its recent rediscovery in samples from the Bergamasque Alps, northern Italy. In order to provide an integrative redescription and accurate identification of the high-altitude microendemic G. aurita, COI barcode sequences from three individuals coming from two different localities were obtained. These sequences are compared with those of the syntopic endemic G. oblongoguttata Verhoeff, 1894, the widespread black morph of G. romana Verhoeff, 1900, as well as several widespread species including G. marginata Villers, 1789, G. connexa Koch, 1847, and G. klugii Brandt, 1833, which have rare colour morphs that exhibit some similarity to G. aurita. To rule-out any identity confusion of G. aurita with other high-altitude or little-known Italian Glomeris, specimens of G. transalpina Koch, 1836, G. oropensis Verhoeff, 1934, and G. primordialis Verhoeff, 1932 were also added to the dataset. Altogether, 24 sequences were compared. Morphologically, the specimens of G. aurita were studied utilizing scanning electron microscopy as well as non-invasive micro-CT technology. The distribution of both Bergamasque endemics, G. aurita and G. oblongoguttata, could be mapped and compared utilizing samples from the Museo civico di Scienze Naturali di Bergamo, as well as photographic evidence from an Italian naturalist forum. G. aurita has a very short active period and is the first known pill millipede species restricted to mountain tops and cold places, possibly representing a Nunatak survivor.

Abstract:

Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer and traveler, sampled a comprehensive collection of continental Mollusca during his travels throughout the former British Burma (currently Myanmar) in 1885-1887. Cesare Maria Tapparone-Canefri, an Italian malacologist, studied this sample and published a paper with a description of numerous terrestrial and freshwater molluscan taxa new to science. This collection was partly deposited in the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova (MSNG), Italy and the Indian Museum (ZSI: Zoological Survey of India) in Kolkata. Here, we provide a re-analysis of C.M. Tapparone-Canefri’s Burmese Unionidae collection. Our study reveals that the type series of only four nominal taxa described by Tapparone-Canefri as new to science in 1889 are still available in the MSNG, i.e. Unio rectangularis, U. pulcher, U. protensus var. obtusatus, and U. marginalis var. subflabellata. The first taxon is a valid species belonging to the genus Yaukthwa, while U. pulcher and U. protensus var. obtusatus are considered here as junior synonyms of the widespread Lamellidens generosus, and the last nominal taxon corresponds to L. savadiensis. The MSNG collection also contains shell lots of Indochinella pugio pugio, I. pugio paradoxa, Indonaia andersoniana, Radiatula chaudhurii, R. mouhoti haungthayawensis, Lamellidens savadiensis, L. generosus, Yaukthwa nesemanni, and Y. zayleymanensis, most of which were listed in Tapparone-Canefri’s work under incorrect names. We revise all the freshwater mussel taxa listed by Tapparone-Canefri based on the original descriptions, available DNA sequences, morphological data, and biogeographic evidence. A freshwater mussel from the Haungthayaw River that was identified by Tapparone-Canefri as Unio exolescens is described here as Trapezoideus mitanensis sp. nov., a fourth species in this small Contradentini genus with a restricted range. Finally, new taxonomic opinions are proposed here for Leoparreysia tavoyensis, Trapezidens dolichorhynchus, Lamellidens generosus, and Lamellidens savadiensis.

Abstract:

AbstractArchaeological excavations at the site of Montessoro (660 m. a.sl.), carried out between 2009 and 2013 by the Department of Christian and Medieval Archaeology (University of Turin – Department of the Historical Studies) and currently under publication, have led to the large-scale exploration of a rural Apennine site which was inhabited between the first century BC and the fifth century AD. The late antique phase, which is the best-preserved, consists of five farm buildings made using a masonry base bound with clay, with an elevation in lathwork and a roof made of cover and pan tiles. The systematic study of almost 600 clay fragments, some of them large and mainly from the collapse levels caused by the fire in the granary, with negative impressions of plant material, has enabled considerable information to be obtained about the technique of wattle and daub used to construct the elevations: the morphology and arrangement of the wooden parts (horizontal and vertical), related to the woven lattice of the lathwork and the load-bearing structure, and the mixing and application of clay and plaster. This work, associated with a thorough analysis of the plentiful wood charcoal remains (carried out by Prof. Lanfredo Castelletti and Dr. Sila Motella – Museo Civico P. Giovio di Como), has yielded data about the choice and working of the plants and trees used for the construction of elevations and all the structural parts, enabling a fairly precise reconstruction of the buildings and the socio-economic and cultural context of the site.

Full text

Abstract:

The genus Atractus Wagler 1828 comprises almost 150 currently recognized species of cryptozoic snakes widespread in the Neotropics, occurring from Panama to northeastern Argentina (Passos et al. 2016a). Despite the publication of the descriptions of several new species within the last decade, the taxonomy of the genus is unclear in some instances. This is mainly due to the fact that a number of poorly delimited taxa still exist (Passos et al. 2018). The most frequent problem faced by taxonomist working with the genus Atractus is the lack of specimens available for several species, most of them only still being known from their types, a situation that considerably weakens the definition of species boundaries between closely related taxa (Passos et al. 2010a, 2013). More importantly, many of the previously recognized species may represent aberrant individuals with unusual or abnormal scale counts, anomalous azygous or fused cephalic plates, infrequent polychromatic patterns, or any combination of these states (see Passos et al. 2016b). In the course of a thorough taxonomic review of the genus (Passos 2008; Passos et al. 2018), an effort has been made to examine all of the available types (including those apparently lost or misplaced in collections) and material of historical importance that was previously referred to the genus in the literature, and these were then compared to newer samples collected more recently. During the examination of the collections of the Natural History Museum of London and the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale of Genova, we found important specimens of Atractus from Bolivia. However, in order to better understand all the problems related to these old and “forgotten” Bolivian snakes, we need to examine their history.

Abstract:

A commented catalogue of Coleoptera Staphylinidae present in Verona province (Veneto, Northern Italy) is provided. It is based on published as well as mostly unpublished records, with the Sette collection at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Verona as main source. These records are filed in a freely downloadable database (http://www.societaentomologicaitaliana.it/it/archivio-comunicazioni/78-archiviati/269-database-staphylinidae-verona.html). Verona province is a very diverse area, with habitats ranging from montane/alpine to hill and plain, which are natural, seminatural or anthropogenic. A total of 988 species are listed. Localities, habitats, microhabitats, collecting methods, altitudinal range, months of capture, latest year of capture and number of specimens are given for each species. Comments are added for 149 remarkable species or genera (<em>i.e</em>. new to Italy, endemic, with particular geographic distribution, living in particular habitats, introduced, problematic from a taxonomic point of view), 7 species are new records for Italy (<em>Tachyporus corpulentus J.</em> Sahlberg, 1876, <em>Aleochara bellonata</em> Krása, 1922, <em>Aleochara marmotae</em> Sainte-Claire Deville, 1927, <em>Atheta (Ceritaxa) flavipes</em> (Hochhuth, 1860), <em>Atheta (Philhygra) pseudoelongatula</em> Bernhauer, 1907, <em>Stenomastax platygaster</em> (Kraatz, 1859), <em>Carpelimus boops rondaensis</em> (Fagel, 1957)), one is very probably new to science (<em>Leptusa</em> sp.). The biogeographic analysis of the data is mostly based on the comparison of the main areas of the province (Monte Baldo, Lessinia, Morene del Garda, course of Adige river, and plain). The presence of a good percentage (5%) of endemic species is pointed out. The communities inhabiting the principal habitats and microhabitats are commented on, and remarkable species living in the protected areas of the province are listed.
