Articoli di riviste sul tema "1879-1835"

Five new distributional records are presented. Birandra (Yvesandra) angulicollis (Bates 1879), Parandra (Tavandra) polita Say 1835, Derobrachus procerus Thomson 1860, Chlorida festiva (Linnaeus 1758) and Carneades grandis (Thomson 1860) are reported for the first time from Chiapas.

The freshwater crayfish genus Parastacus Huxley, 1879 (Parastacidae) is reviewed. Seven species are redescribed: Parastacus brasiliensis (von Martens, 1869), P. defossus Faxon, 1898, P. laevigatus Buckup & Rossi, 1980, P. pilimanus (von Martens, 1869), P. pugnax (Poepigg, 1835), P. promatensis Fontoura & Conter, 2008, and P. varicosus Faxon, 1898. In addition, five new species are described: Parastacus bah, P. heterochaelis, P. manezinho, P. quasimodo and P. rudolphi. Descriptions, diagnoses, and synonyms of the genus and species are provided. In addition, information on the geographical distribution and an identification key is presented for all species.

Este artigo aborda o processo histórico de inserção do Protestantismo na Amazônica, período marcado pela Cabanagem (1835-1840), pelo crescimento da economia gomífera (1879-1912), momento em que as cidades Belém e Manaus se destacam no cenário internacional, o que ocasionou forte crescimento demográfico. Esta intensa movimentação populacional, somada à riqueza criada pela economia da borracha, fez dessas cidades alvos também do Protestantismo. Trata-se de uma discussão onde se descreverá os primeiros passos do Protestantismo na Amazônia, destacando a atuação missionária como um importante instrumento para a consolidação desse movimento religioso na região, além de apontar a Igreja Metodista como a primeira Igreja Protestante a se instalar na região Norte no século XIX.

The chlorotica-subgroup (species with unidentate protibiae) of the Anomala cuprascens-group (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Anomalini) from Sulawesi and the Papuan Region is revised. The cuprascens-group and chlorotica-subgroup are morphologically defined. The chlorotica-subgroup includes 28 species, 18 of which are described as new. The new species are: Anomala madangensis, A. malukana, A. kuekenthali, A. durvillei, A. fergussonensis, A. denticulata, A. irianensis, A. bruggei, A. merkli, A. biakensis, A. butensis, A. ophthalmica, A. sarmiensis, A. toxopei, A. papuensis, A. aruensis, A. sulana, A. tahunensis. The following names are placed in synonymy: A. aeneiventris var. fuscipennis Ohaus, 1915 (= A. aeneiventris Fairmaire, 1883), A. bandarra Ohaus, 1916 (= A. maculicollis Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846), A. resecta Ohaus, 1916 (= A. maculi collis Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846), A. stigmatica Ohaus, 1916 (= A. maculicollis Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846), A. ternatana Lansberge, 1879 (= A. aeruginosa Boisduval, 1835), A. aerea Blanchard, 1851 (= A. aeruginosa Boisduval, 1835). Lectotypes are selected for the nomnal taxa Anomala aeneiventris Fairmaire, 1883, A. pygidialis Kirsch, 1876, A. chlorotica (Guérin-Méneville, 1838), A. maculicollis Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846, A. stigmatica Ohaus, 1916, A. resecta Ohaus, 1916, A. bandarra Ohaus, 1916, A. aerea Blanchard, 1851, A. cassiana Ohaus, 1923. Neotypes are designated for Anomala bousqueti LeGuillou, 1844 and A. aeruginosa Boisd val, 1835. The examination of endophalus structures allows discrimination of species and is indicative of relationships between these species. Descriptions and a key to all taxa treated are included. Figures of the aedeagi and endophalli as well as distribution maps for all taxa are provided.

New records of geophilomorph centipedes (Geophilidae, Himantariidae, Mecistocephalidae, and Schendylidae) from Middle Asia are provided. Order Geophilomorpha is new to both the Surxondaryo Region of Uzbekistan and Balkan Region of Turkmenistan. Family Geophilidae, genus Pachymerium C.L. Koch, 1847, and P. ferrugineum (C.L. Koch, 1835) are new to the Issyk-Kul Region of Kyrgyzstan, to the Districts of Republican Subordination of Tajikistan, and to the Surxondaryo Region of Uzbekistan; family Himantariidae, genus Bothriogaster Sseliwanoff, 1879 and B. signata (Kessler, 1874) are new to the Surxondaryo Region of Uzbekistan and to the Balkan Region of Turkmenistan; Krateraspis sselivanovi Titova, 1975 is new to both Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan; Escaryus retusidens Attems, 1904 is new to the East Kazakhstan Region of Kazakhstan. All the records are mapped; Tygarrup muminabadicus Titova, 1965 is illustrated.

The ‘plain pumpkin-beetle’, indica species-complex of Aulacophora Chevrolat, 1836, is revised for Australopapua, Timor and the West Pacific. The species-complex is defined and the following eight included species are diagnosed and described: A. abdominalis (Fabricius, 1781); A. barrogae Reid, Halling & Beatson, sp. nov.; A. cornuta Baly, 1879; A. indica (Gmelin, 1790); A. mbabaram Reid, Halling & Beatson, sp. nov.; A. relicta (Boisduval, 1835); A. wallacii Baly, 1886; A. wilsoni Baly, 1888. The three other similar species in the region of interest, A. bicolor (Weber, 1801), A coffeae (Weber, 1801) and A. deplanchei (Perroud & Montrouzier, 1864), are diagnosed from the Aulacophora indica species-complex and a key is provided for all 11 species. New synonyms are noted as follows (senior synonym first): A. abdominalis (Fabricius, 1781) = A. argyrogaster (Montrouzier, 1861) syn. nov., = A. fabricii Baly, 1886 syn. nov., = A. armigera Baly, 1889 syn. nov., = A. aruensis (Weise, 1892) syn. nov., = A. fauveli Beenen, 2008 syn. nov.; A. relicta (Boisduval, 1835) = A. palmerstoni Blackburn, 1888 syn. nov., = A. imberbis Weise, 1916 syn. nov.. Aulacophora relicta (stat. rev.) is revalidated from synonymy with A. abdominalis and A. wilsoni (stat. rev.) is revalidated from synonymy with A. scutellata (Boisduval 1835). Aulacophora flava Olivier, 1808, is not an available species name. The synonymy of A. robusta Duvivier, 1884 with A. cornuta is confirmed. Five species traditionally placed in Aulacophora, Galleruca flaveola Boisduval, 1835, G. punctata Boisduval, 1835, G. scutellata Boisduval, 1835, Galleruca flavescens Montrouzier, 1856 and Galleruca artensis Montrouzier, 1861, are not identifiable to genus or species and are therefore listed as nomina dubia within Galerucinae. The previously designated lectotype of A. abdominalis is shown to be invalid. Neotypes are created for A. abdominalis and A. relicta as both lack original type material. A lectotype is designated for A. palmerstoni. The plain pumpkin-beetle species are distributed as follows: A. barrogae, A. mbabaram, A. relicta and A. wilsoni are endemic to Australia; A. abdominalis is widespread in the southwestern Pacific and Melanesia, west to Timor and east to Niue, but is absent from mainland Australia; A. cornuta is widespread from eastern India to Melanesia as far east as Guadalcanal; A. indica is widespread from India southeast to Timor and northeast to Guam, and adventitious further south and east, but absent from, or not established in, Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia, Niue, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu; A. wallacii is endemic to Timor. Native hosts are unknown for any species, but A. abdominalis, A. indica, A. relicta and A. wallacii are pests of exotic cucurbit crops.

The shell morphology and anatomy of two enigmatic Pisidium species, Pisidium dorbignyi Clessin, 1879, never re-examined after the original description, and Pisidium lebruni Mabille, 1884, a species not reported again until 1995, are described. The type of P. dorbignyi (new name for Cyclas pulchella d´Orbigny, 1835) is lost, for which, and in order to define the taxonomic status of the species, a neotype is herein selected. Both species share as common features: the presence of only the anal siphonal aperture, only one pair of demibranchs, the inner and the type of nephridium, closed with lateral loop visible from dorsal view, consistently differing in shell morphology. Previously unknown details on the anatomy of Pisidium sterkianum Pilsbry, 1897 and Pisidium vile Pilsbry, 1897, particularly those concerning the type of nephridium and inner radial mantle musculature, are described and illustrated for the first time.

W artykule zostały przedstawione trzy obszerne dzieła powstałe i wydane we Francji po powstaniu listopadowym, a opracowane w środowisku polskich emigrantów. Dzieła te prezentowały czytelnikowi francuskiemu systematyczny wykład historii Polski/Rzeczypospolitej. Zawierały poza tą główną treścią artykuły mówiące o geografii Rzeczypospolitej oraz o kulturze i zagadnieniach dotyczących religii. Posiadały liczne ilustracje. Najobszerniejsze spośród tych dzieł to La Pologne pittoresque, Polska malownicza; wydane zostało w trzech tomach w latach 1835‒1845. W latach 1839‒1841 ukazało się kolejne dzieło omawiające wspomniane tematy, La Pologne illustrée, Polska ozdobnicza. Głównym redaktorem tych prac był Leonard Chodźko (1800‒1871). Natomiast w 1840 r. Karol Forster (1800‒1879) opublikował Pologne. Dzieła zyskały dużą popularność. W artykule zajęto się problemem prezentacji roli Kościoła katolickiego w historii Polski/Rzeczypospolitej, a także prezentacji różnych elementów życia religijnego. Wskazano na kilka zasadniczych wątków ideowych dostrzeganych w tejże prezentacji. Podkreślono zauważalną obecność zagadnień religijnych we wspomnianych dziełach, co pozytywnie wyróżnia je na tle ówczesnych prac podobnego rodzaju.

The second part of the study on the genus Chrysodema Laporte de Castelnau & Gory, 1835 is presented. All taxa are revised based on a comparative study of extensive material including types of all described taxa. Chrysodema (Chrysodema) eximia ‘complex’ is revised and the new C. antennata species-group is established in the subgenus Chrysodema s. str. Two new species and one new subspecies are described: Chrysodema (Chrysodema) holynskii sp. nov. from Philippines: Masbate Island; Chrysodema (Chrysodema) sekerkai sp. nov. from Indonesia: Bangkai, Peleng and Sulawesi islands; and Chrysodema (Chrysodema) antennata barriesi subsp. nov. from Philippines: Palawan Island. Lectotypes are designated for the following taxa to ensure their correct application and recognition in future: C. (C.) antennata Saunders, 1874; C. (C.) hebes Kerremans, 1892; C. (C.) intercostata Saunders, 1874 and C. (C.) obsoleta J. Thomson, 1879. All herein included taxa are illustrated with colour photographs of habitus and the male aedeagus. Keys and maps of distribution to all taxa in each revised species-group are presented.

Naucoridae is a family of aquatic bugs, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and comprises 437 species, 47 genera, and eight subfamilies. Five subfamilies, 10 genera and 68 species have been recorded from Brazil. Pelocoris Stål is a genus exclusive to the New World, with 14 species described; eight species and two subspecies have been recorded from Brazil. For the northeastern region, there are no records of occurrence for any species in this genus. The objective of this work was to survey the fauna of Pelocoris in the northeastern region and map the distribution of the species. We examined 180 specimens belonging to six species: Pelocoris binotulatus nigriculus Berg, 1879, P. bipunctulus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1853), P. magister Montandon, 1898, P. poeyi (Guérin-Méneville, 1835), P. politus Montandon, 1897, and P. subflavus Montandon, 1898. This work contributes directly to reducing the Wallacean and Linnean gaps in Naucoridae diversity for northeastern Brazil and highlights the diversity in the region, which is still poorly studied and poorly known.

Józef Brzowski (1805–1888) był jedną z ważniejszych postaci warszawskiego życia muzycznego XIX wieku. Dotychczas data jego urodzenia nie była potwierdzono źródłowo. W wyniku kwerendy w księgach metrykalnych warszawskiej parafii św. Andrzeja odnalazłem metrykę chrztu Brzowskiego z 18 kwietnia 1805 roku, urodzonego w domu przy ulicy Leszno pod numerem hipotecznym 703, odpowiadający późniejszemu numerowi domu 62. Do metryki chrztu załączone zostało sprostowanie z 1835 roku dotyczącego błędnego zapisu nazwiska muzyka w pierwotnym dokumencie. Rodzice kompozytora, Karol Brzowski (ok. 1768 – 1831?) i Tekla z domu Przeździecka (ok. 1773 – 1851), mieli oprócz syna prawdopodobnie cztery córki (personalia trzech z nich są znane): Karolinę (1798?–1813), uczennicę Szkoły Dramatycznej, Zofię (1800–1879), aktorkę Teatru Narodowego zamężną z Karolem Kurpińskim, oraz Teklę Klementynę (1809–1811). Józef Brzowski ożenił się w 1835 roku z Anną Elżbietą Dückert z domu Ketschon (1795?–1843), wdową po Karolu Fryderyku Dückercie (ok. 1764 – 1834); córką Brzowskiego była Jadwiga Wawrzyna (1830 – po 1892), ochrzczona dopiero po ślubie rodziców. Muzyk w 1849 roku zawarł drugie małżeństwo z Florentyną Górecką (1819?–1905), z którą miał syna Aleksandra (1843–1858), ucznia Szkoły Dramatycznej, ochrzczonego – podobnie jak jego starsza siostra – po ślubie rodziców. Józef Brzowski zmarł 3 lub 4 grudnia 1888 roku; rozbieżności wynikają z różnych dat zapisanych w akcie zgonu i na nagrobku kompozytora oraz podanych w prasie. Jadwiga Wawrzyna Brzowska była pianistką międzynarodowej sławy, koncertującą od 1840 roku. Podczas pobytu w Nowym Orleanie w 1860 roku Brzowska wzięła ślub z francuskim konsulem Eugène’em Augustem Méjanem (1814–1874). Brzowska-Méjan zmarła po 1892 roku, być może po 1903 roku. Brzowski był jednym z ważniejszych muzyków w Warszawie, jednak krótko po śmierci został zapomniany. Być może relacje rodzinno-towarzyskie (choćby powinowactwo z Karolem Kurpińskim czy przyjaźń z Fryderykiem Chopinem), a nie talent kompozytorski, otworzyły mu drogę do kariery.

The genera Leiopus Audinet-Serville, 1835 and Acanthocinus Dejean, 1821 are redescribed. New morphologicaldifferences at the generic level are described, and the importance of genitalia characters in taxonomy at both species andgeneric level is emphasized. Carinopus subgen. nov. in Leiopus is described from mainland China and Taiwan.Acanthobatesianus subgen. nov. in Acanthocinus is described from China, the Korean peninsula and Japan. Leiopus(Carinopus) campbelli (Gressitt, 1937) comb. nov. is transferred from Acanthocinus, and Acanthocinus(Acanthobatesianus) guttatus (Bates, 1873) comb. nov. from Leiopus. Six new species of Leiopus from China arediagnosed, described, and illustrated: L. nigropunctatus sp. nov., L. flavomaculatus sp. nov., L. ocellatus sp. nov., L.nigrofasciculosus sp. nov., L. holzschuhi sp. nov. and L. multipunctellus sp. nov. Redescriptions of L. kharaziiHolzschuh, 1974, L. albivittis albivittis Kraatz, 1879, L. stillatus (Bates, 1884), L. (Carinopus) shibatai Hayashi, 1974, L.(Carinopus) fallaciosus Holzschuh, 1993, L. (Carinopus) campbelli (Gressitt, 1937) comb. nov. and Acanthocinus(Acanthobatesianus) guttatus (Bates, 1873) comb. nov. are added. A key to the generic and subgeneric levels of Leiopusand Acanthocinus, and a dichotomous key to all six new species of Carinopus subgen. nov. (Leiopus str.) from China, are provided.

A pulga Ctenocephalides felis felis é um parasita causador dermatites alérgicas e também pode transmitir diversos agentes etiológicos aos animais domésticos e aos homens. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o desenvolvimento do fungo sobre a cutícula da pulga, através da microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Os isolados fúngicos testados foram o Metarhizium anisopliae 959 e Beauveria bassiana 986, ambos na concentração 10(8) conídios/ml. Após a exposição dos isolados fúngicos no período de duas, 15, 26 e 96 horas , o material foi processado para a microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Com a obtenção das micrografias, pode-se observar que com 2 horas após exposição aos fungos, os conídios estavam aderidos por toda a cutícula, situando-se preferencialmente nas membranas intersegmentais do abdome. Com 15 horas observou-se a formação do tubo de germinação e a cabeça do apressório e após 26 horas foi possível observar as ramificações e o engrossamento das hifas sobre a cutícula das pulgas. Os resultados indicam que os fungos testados foram capazes de se desenvolver sobre a cutícula de C. f. felis.

SummaryThe love story of the Přemyslid duke Oldřich (1012–1033, 1034) and the peasant girl Božena Křesinová, who became his second wife, was a popular subject in the Bohemian chronicles of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age. The story’s social and national connotations (Božena being a lower class Czech girl) may have been one of the main factors of its renewed popularity in Czech literature and art since the end of the 18th century. Especially the Czech National Revival gave birth to several works dealing with this topic, such as ballads, romances, dramas, operas and paintings. An absolutely different way of treating the subject was presented by Adolf Heyduk (1835–1923), a representative of the ‘May School’ (Májovci). In his idyll Oldřich a Božena (1879), Heyduk largely ignored the story’s national and social implications and focussed on the love theme. Thus he was also in line with the Májovci poetics being directed against the revivalists’ strictly nationalist and patriotic orientation in literature and culture. Heyduk, moreover, strengthened the work’s symbolic and psychological dimensions, especially in an abundance of nature scenes and in Božena’s songs giving an insight into the girl’s hopes, dreams and latent desires. The work thus gains a new aesthetic quality bringing Oldřich a Božena close to modernistic conceptions.

The Palaearctic genus Orthocephalus Fieber, 1858 is revised. The generic names Anapomella Putshkov, 1961 and Oraniella Reuter, 1894 are synonymized with Orthocephalus Fieber, 1858; providing for three comb. nov. — O. arnoldii (Putshkov, 1961), O. tibialis (Reuter, 1894), and O. tristis (Reuter, 1894). The following new species-level synonymies are established: O. niger Reuter, 1879 = O. bivittatus Fieber, 1864, O. parvulus Reuter, 1891 = O. saltator (Hahn, 1835), and O. beresovskii Reuter, 1906 with all its varieties = O. funestus Jakovlev, 1881. Piezocanum medvedevi Putshkov, 1961 is transferred to Orthocephalus and the replacement name O. putshkovi nom. nov. is proposed to remove the homonymy with O. medvedevi Kiritshenko, 1951. Keys to males and females, and data on distribution and host plants are given for all 23 species of the genus, including Orthocephalus turkmenicus sp. n. (Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkmenistan). Color digital habitus images and genitalic illustrations are provided of female specimens for all species and males for most of the species. Scanning electron micrographs are used to illustrate characteristic features for Orthocephalus and related groups. A phylogenetic analysis, including 33 taxa and 35 characters, is presented. The main results of this study are support for a sister-group relationship between Orthocephalus and Pachytomella, the monophyly of Orthocephalus as here diagnosed, and the relatively apical position of the clade containing Anapomella arnoldii and Oraniella tibialis within Orthocephalus.

An updated checklist of the pseudoscorpion fauna of Hungary is presented. Chthonius cf. alpicola Beier, 1951 is newly reported for the country. Neobisium inaequale Chamberlin, 1930 is regarded as a junior synonym of N. sylvaticum (C.L. Koch, 1835) (syn. nov.). Chelifer tegulatus Tömösváry, 1883 is regarded as a junior synonym of Dactylochelifer latreillii (Leach, 1817) (syn. nov.). Rhacochelifer quadrimaculatus (Tömösváry, 1882) is regarded as a senior synonym of Beierochelifer peloponnesiacus (Beier, 1929) (syn. nov.), forming the combination Beierochelifer quadrimaculatus (Tömösváry, 1882) (comb. nov). Furthermore, Chthonius pygmaeus (Beier, 1934), Neobisium (Neobisium) simoni (L. Koch, 1873), Neobisium (Neobisium) validum (L. Koch, 1873), Rhacochelifer peculiaris (L. Koch, 1873), and Chernes montigenus (Simon, 1879) are excluded from the Hungarian fauna. Neobisium (N.) seminudum (Daday and Tömösváry, 1880) and Chelifer entzii Daday and Tömösváry, 1880 are designated as nomina dubia. As a consequence, the pseudoscorpion fauna of Hungary now comprises 49 species belonging to eight families with confirmed occurrence data; the occurrence of 6 further species recorded earlier for Hungary is doubtful. Phoresy is documented for Ephippiochthonius tetrachelatus (Preyssler, 1790) and Diplotemnus balcanicus (Redikorzev, 1928). Habitat preference of each species with confirmed occurrence in Hungary are assumed. Notes are given to some old data reported by Ödön Tömösváry and Eugen Daday from neighbouring countries. Microbisium manicatum (L. Koch, 1873) is excluded from the fauna list of Romania.

Стаття присвячена розгляду суспільно-політичних контекстів повісті українського галицького письменника Федора Заревича (1835–1879), одного з зачинателів українського галицького письменства і журналістики.Повість Федора Заревича «Хлопська дитина», написана на межі 1850-1860-х років, стала особливим маніфестом художнього вираження найважливіших суспільно-політичний ідей у Галичині 1820–1840-х років. Твір присвячено подіям Весни народів – революції 1848 року. Тут предаставлено важливі ідейно-естетичні прямування доби, найболючіші суспільно-національні проблеми. Зокрема йдеться про ідеї відродження Речі Посполитої, та несміливого проростання в Галичині українського національного Відродження, поступового усвідомлення відрубности національних прямувань русинів / українців та поляків.У «Хлопській дитині» окреслено кілька ліній конфліктів та сюжетних напружень. Перше з них – народження в галицькому суспільстві нової української інтеліґенції (до якої належав і сам Заревич), переміна у суспільних настроях і намагання місцевої панівної еліти пригасити цю національну емансипацію, долучити ці сили до відродження Речі Посполитої. Ще одна вісь протистояння – соціяльно-економічне протиставлення шляхетського двору / села, ліквідація панщини й пошук нових форм співіснування після її знесення.У творі два головні герої: священик Евстахій та сирота Стефан. Кожен із них стає символом двох світоглядів і двох генерацій. Революція поєднує їхній світогляд і їх долі на тлі революційної доби. Протиставна пара може бути й ширшим символічним узагальненням в історіoсофській перспективі: священик – уособлення шляхетського світу, який аж до Весни народів в’яже свою долю лише з потугою Польської держави й відчуває себе приналежним до польського народу-шляхти; бідний сирота, який стане впливовим адвокатом – втіленням образу частини бездержавного народу, який знаходить шлях свого відродження.Остаточно ці дві сили стануть однією, а сиволом їх поєднання, як національного об’єднання, буде шлюб Стефана й небоги отця Евстахія.

Two new species of hydroids, Eudendrium bleakneyi and Halecium praeparvum, are described from the Bay of Fundy. Fourteen others, Tubularia acadiae Petersen, 1990, Coryne pusilla Gaertner, 1774, Sarsia lovenii (M. Sars, 1846), Zanclea implexa (Alder, 1856), Corydendrium dispar Kramp, 1935, Rhizogeton fusiformis L. Agassiz, 1862, Bougainvillia muscus (Allman, 1863), Rhizorhagium roseum M. Sars, in G.O. Sars, 1874, Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus Buss & Yund, 1989, Eudendrium vaginatum Allman, 1863, Tiaropsis multicirrata (M. Sars, 1835), Obelia bidentata S.F. Clark, 1875, Halecium marsupiale Bergh, 1887, and Sertularella gigantea Hincks, 1874, are reported, with collection data, for the first time from the bay. All but Coryne pusilla, Rhizorhagium roseum, Eudendrium vaginatum, and Sertularella gigantea are also new to Atlantic Canada, while Zanclea implexa, Corydendrium dispar, and Halecium marsupiale are reported for the first time in the western North Atlantic. Two of those species, Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus and Obelia bidentata, are disjunct in distribution, with core populations occurring in warmer waters to the south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Both were discovered in Minas Basin, a hydrographically distinct embayment where surface water temperatures are much warmer during summer than in the perpetually cold lower Bay of Fundy. Rhizorhagium roseum and the subfamily Rhizorhagiinae are transferred from family Bougainvilliidae Lütken, 1850 to Pandeidae Haeckel, 1879. An annotated checklist of hydroids from the Fundy region, based on previously published reports and on new records of species, is added as an appendix. Included in the checklist are 43 species of anthoathecates and 75 species of leptothecates, referable to 30 families and 56 genera. Families with the most species were Sertulariidae (23), Haleciidae (13), Eudendriidae (11), and Obeliidae (10). Biogeographically, the aggregate hydroid fauna of the bay conforms with that occurring in other parts of the Western Atlantic Boreal Region. Halecium permodicum is proposed as a replacement name for Halecium minor Fraser, 1935, an invalid junior homonym of H. minor Pictet, 1893.

Cocoa swollen shoot virus disease (CSSVD) is a major disease of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) in Ghana and other West African countries that grow the crop. Attempts to develop resistant varieties since the discovery of the disease in 1936 have yielded little success. Recently, planting materials that are tolerant to the disease have been recommended for planting in areas with high CSSVD prevalence. However, the effect of CSSVD on yield component traits of most cacao clones including the tolerant varieties has not been well studied. To investigate the impact of CSSVD on these traits, reduction in bean weight (BW), number of beans per pod (NoBP) and dry bean yield (DBY) between symptomless and symptomatic trees, and disease incidence (DI) among 210 different cacao clones were evaluated. The clones were transplanted in June 2010 following a randomised complete block design with four replications consisting of three trees per clone per block. Response of the clones to CSSVD incidence had 180 of the genotypes having < 50% symptoms. Clones of Contanama, Iquitos, Marañon, Nanay and unknown derived from Upper Amazon parentage had less DI at the end of the study. The CSSVD effect (symptomless vs. symptomatic) was significant (p < 0.05) for DBY and NoBP, and the symptomless trees surpassed on average their symptomatic trees by 21.17% for DBY. Some of the best-performing clones identified under natural CSSVD infection were; COCA 3348/52 and GU 219/V among the underrepresented clones, B 36, ICS 40, NA 33 x IMC 67, T30/628, T60/887, T63/971, T 81/1879 and T 82/503 among those that combine high DBY with low yield reduction, and NA 124, T17/358, T35/78, T57/305, T63/971 x SCA 6, T65/239, T76/1835 and T82/2294 among those that combine high DBY with no disease incidence. Their inclusion in breeding programs that seek to develop resistant CSSVD varieties or deployment as planting materials in endemic areas to improve yield production in Ghana is recommended on the basis of the present observations.

The family Parastacidae is represented in Chile by the genera Samastacus Riek, 1971, Parastacus Huxley, 1879, and Virilastacus Hobbs, 1991, and includes a total of six species. Its geographical distribution ranges from coastal areas to the Andean mountains, between the river Aconcagua (32°55′S 71°30′W) and the Taitao peninsula (46°30′S 74°30′W). These six species are: Samastacus spinifrons (Philippi, 1882), Parastacus pugnax (Poeppig, 1835), P. nicoleti (Philippi, 1882), Virilastacus araucanius (Faxon, 1914), V. rucapihuelensis Rudolph & Crandall, 2005 and V. retamali Rudolph & Crandall, 2007. All six species are endemic to Chile, with the exception of S. spinifrons which also inhabits Argentina and is the only species that inhabits lentic and lotic waters. The other five species are burrowers, inhabiting underground waters in semi-marshland zones where they build relatively complex burrows of varying depths. Present knowledge on the biology of these parastacids relates to: (a) taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships, (b) type and duration of embryonic and post-embryonic development, and (c) sexual system. Fragmentary studies have also been carried out on: (a) burrow morphology, (b) some physical/chemical parameters of water inside the burrows, (c) reproductive biology, and (d) aquaculture. These species are currently under threat, as a result of strong anthropogenic pressure which causes degradation of their respective habitats and, in some cases, such as S. spinifrons and P. pugnax, due to overexploitation as a human food source. Furthermore, in Chile there is no legislation to regulate the extraction, trade and transport of specimens. Only S. spinifrons is of interest for aquaculture purposes, in view of certain advantageous biological characteristics in comparison to other burrowing species. Nevertheless, certain intrinsic characteristics of parastacids, i.e., low fecundity and growth rate, late sexual maturity, very prolonged ovarian and embryonic development, together with deterioration of respective habitats and, in some species, overexploitation, have resulted in these species being classified as endangered Considering the aforementioned, it is important to study the life history, ecology and behaviour of each of these species, with the aim of compiling information that will permit the proposal and implementation of effective protection measures that, in turn, will ensure their conservation.

More than 4700 nominal family-group names (including names for fossils and ichnotaxa) are nomenclaturally available in the order Coleoptera. Since each family-group name is based on the concept of its type genus, we argue that the stability of names used for the classification of beetles depends on accurate nomenclatural data for each type genus. Following a review of taxonomic literature, with a focus on works that potentially contain type species designations, we provide a synthesis of nomenclatural data associated with the type genus of each nomenclaturally available family-group name in Coleoptera. For each type genus the author(s), year of publication, and page number are given as well as its current status (i.e., whether treated as valid or not) and current classification. Information about the type species of each type genus and the type species fixation (i.e., fixed originally or subsequently, and if subsequently, by whom) is also given. The original spelling of the family-group name that is based on each type genus is included, with its author(s), year, and stem. We append a list of nomenclaturally available family-group names presented in a classification scheme. Because of the importance of the Principle of Priority in zoological nomenclature, we provide information on the date of publication of the references cited in this work, when known. Several nomenclatural issues emerged during the course of this work. We therefore appeal to the community of coleopterists to submit applications to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (henceforth “Commission”) in order to permanently resolve some of the problems outlined here.

While the correct identification of the type species is assumed, in some cases evidence suggests that species were misidentified when they were fixed as the type of a particular nominal genus. Following the requirements of Article 70.3.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature we hereby fix the following type species (which in each case is the taxonomic species actually involved in the misidentification): ATTELABIDAE: Rhynchites cavifrons Gyllenhal, 1833 for Lasiorhynchites Jekel, 1860; BOSTRICHIDAE: Ligniperda terebrans Pallas, 1772 for Apate Fabricius, 1775; BRENTIDAE: Ceocephalus appendiculatus Boheman, 1833 for Uroptera Berthold, 1827; BUPRESTIDAE: Buprestis undecimmaculata Herbst, 1784 for Ptosima Dejean, 1833; CARABIDAE: Amara lunicollis Schiødte, 1837 for Amara Bonelli, 1810, Buprestis connexus Geoffroy, 1785 for Polistichus Bonelli, 1810, Carabus atrorufus Strøm, 1768 for Patrobus Dejean, 1821, Carabus gigas Creutzer, 1799 for Procerus Dejean, 1821, Carabus teutonus Schrank, 1781 for Stenolophus Dejean, 1821, Carenum bonellii Westwood, 1842 for Carenum Bonelli, 1813, Scarites picipes G.-A.

The world catalogue of the family Ochteridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nepomorpha: Ochteroidea) is compiled. The fossil subfamily Propreocorinae Popov, Dolling & Whalley, 1994, recently excluded from Ochteridae by other authors, is formally raised to family rank as Propreocoridae stat. nov. The fossil genus Meropachys Popov, 1986 is found to be a junior homonym of Meropachys Burmeister, 1835 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) and is replaced by a new substitute name, Yuripachys nom. nov., resulting in one new combination: Yuripachys dubius (Popov, 1986) comb. nov. Neochterus Mahner, 1993 (originally proposed as subgenus of Ochterus Latreille, 1807) is considered an unavailable name. Ochterus papaceki Kment & Carapezza sp. nov. is described and illustrated as a new species from the island of Socotra (Yemen) and Tanzania. Gender agreement in Ochterus paucistriata Baehr, 1990 is corrected to O. paucistriatus Baehr, 1990. The name Ochterus perbosci (Guérin-Méneville, 1843), an incorrect subsequent spelling of O. perboscii in prevailing usage, is fixed according to Article 33.3.1 of the ICZN (1999). The spelling of Angulochterus quadrimaculatus Yao, Zhang & Ren, 2011 is corrected according to Article 32.5.1 of ICZN (1999). The original publication of Ochterus barberi Schell, 1943, O. bidentatus Schell, 1943, O. hungerfordi Schell, 1943, and O. parvus Schell, 1943 is clarified. The name bearing types of Ochterus barberi, O. bidentatus, O. hungerfordi, O. parvus, O. perbosci, and Pelogonus splendidulus Montandon, 1898 (= Ocyochterus victor (Bolívar, 1879)) are considered as lectotypes. The family Ochteridae currently includes 3 recent genera and 88 described species group taxa (84 species and 4 subspecies): Megochterus Jaczewski, 1934 (2 species from Australia), Ochterus (80 species and 4 subspecies distributed worldwide), and Ocyochterus Drake & Gómez-Menor, 1954 (2 species from NW South America). The fossil record of Ochteridae currently includes 4 genera and 5 species: Angulochterus Yao, Zhang & Ren, 2011 (1 species from Early Cretaceous of China), Floricaudus Yao, Ren & Shih, 2011 (1 species from Early Cretaceous of China), Pristinochterus Yao, Cai & Ren, 2007 (2 species from Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous of China), and Riegerochterus Popov & Heiss, 2014 (1 species from Miocene Dominican amber). In addition the fossil genus Yuripachys (1 species from Early Creatceous of Mongolia) is classified as Ochteridae incertae sedis, Propreocoris Popov, Dolling & Whalley, 1994 (1 species from Early Jurassic of England) as common ancestor of Ochteridae and Gelastocoridae in its own family Propreocoridae, and Grimaldinia Popov & Heiss, 2014 (1 species from Burmese Amber) and Heterochterus Evans, 1971 (1 species based on an isolated wing, Late Triassic of Australia) as Ochteroidea incertae sedis. The following new records are provided: Ochterus aeneifrons surinamensis Nieser, 1975 (Colombia), O. caffer (Stål, 1855) (Mozambique, Sudan), O. feae (Laos, Thailand), O. marginatus marginatus (Latreille, 1804) (China: Anhui, Shaanxi; Central African Republic; India: Rajasthan; Oman; Sudan), and O. nicobarensis Chandra & Jehamalar, 2012 (Myanmar). The distribution of all species is reviewed and the zoogeographic patterns and biodiversity of Ochteridae are discussed.

The Diptera genus-group names of Camillo Rondani are reviewed and annotated. A total of 601 nomenclaturally available genus-group names in 82 families of Diptera are listed alphabetically. For each name the following are given: author, year and page of original publication, originally included species [and first included species if none were originally included], type species and method of fixation, current status of the name, family placement, and a list of any emendations of it that have been found in the literature. Remarks are given to clarify nomenclatural or taxonomic information. In addition, an index is provided to all the species-group names of Diptera proposed by Rondani (1,236, of which 1,183 are available) with bibliographic reference to each original citation. Appended to this study is a full bibliography of Rondani’s works and a list with explanations for all new synonymies arising from revised emendations.

Neste artigo,analiso o julgamento histórico como parte integrante da produção historiográfica no século XIX. Para isso, exploro o confronto de interpretações acerca da Revolução Farroupilha (1835-1845) iniciado em 1879, em torno da memória documentada de Tristão de Alencar Araripe, e da recepção desse documento na Corte e na província do Rio Grande do Sul. A memória e as respostas que ela gerou permitem refletir sobre a construção de juízos pelos historiadores na sua prática de representação do passado. Nesse sentido, exploro duas possibilidades de interpretação. No primeiro momento, trato de refletir o condicionamento social dos julgamentos históricos, salientando, para o caso de Araripe, os aspectos relativos à sua formação e atuação como letrado e como político. Em seguida, debruço-me sobre alguns princípios que fundamentavam o ofício do historiador, tais como a seleção das fontes e a imparcialidade na apreciação dos fatos, por meio da crítica à memória formulada por Karl von Koseritz.

AbstractThe Hindu Kush Himalaya region is experiencing rapid climate change with adverse impacts in multiple sectors. To put recent climatic changes into a long-term context, here we reconstructed the region’s climate history using tree-ring width chronologies of climate-sensitive Cedrus deodara and Pinus gerardiana. Growth-climate analysis reveals that the species tree-growth is primarily limited by moisture stress during or preceding the growing season, as indicated by a positive relationship between the chronology and precipitation and scPDSI, and a negative one with temperature. We have reconstructed 635 years (1384–2018 CE) of February–June precipitation using a robust climate reconstruction model that explains about 53% variance of the measured precipitation data. Our reconstruction shows several dry and wet episodes over the reconstruction period along with an increase in extreme precipitation events during recent centuries or years. Long, very wet periods were observed during the following years: 1392–1393, 1430–1433, 1456–1461, 1523–1526, 1685–1690, 1715–1719, 1744–1748, 1763–1767, 1803–1806, 1843–1846, 1850–1855, 1874–1876, 1885–1887, 1907–1909, 1921–1925, 1939–1944, and 1990–1992, while long dry periods were observed during the following years: 1398–1399, 1464–1472, 1480–1484, 1645–1649, 1724–1727, 1782–1786, 1810–1814, 1831–1835, 1879–1881, 1912–1918, 1981–1986, 1998–2003, and 2016–2018 CE. We found predominantly short-term periodicity cycles of 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6–2.7, 2.9, 3.3, 4.8, 8.1–8.3, and 9.4–9.6 years in our reconstruction. Spatial correlation analyses reveal that our reconstruction is an effective representation of the precipitation variability in the westerly climate-dominated areas of Pakistan and adjacent regions. In addition to the influence of regional circulation systems like western disturbances, we found possible teleconnections between the precipitation variability in northern Pakistan and broader-scale climate modes or phases like AMO and ENSO. The study also highlights the prospects of tree-ring application to explore linkages between western disturbance, increasing intensity and frequency of extreme climate events, and analysis of long-term atmospheric circulation over the western Himalayan region.

In this paper, we present an extensive checklist of selected arthropods and their distribution in five Islands of the Azores (Santa Maria. São Miguel, Terceira, Flores and Pico). Habitat surveys included five herbaceous and four arboreal habitat types, scaling up from native to anthropogenic managed habitats. We aimed to contribute to the ongoing effort to document the terrestrial biodiversity of the world, in particular the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores, as islands harbour a significant portion of unique terrestrial biodiversity. Selection of Arthropoda groups for the current checklist was based on their known richness and abundance (Arachnida, Collembola, Hemiptera, Neuroptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera), in almost all terrestrial ecosystems, as well as their importance in current Integrated Pest Management and alternative Biocontrol protocols at large (i.e. hymenopteran parasitoids and beneficial Coleoptera). In addition, we include the list of Dermaptera, Orthoptera, Psocoptera and Thysanoptera species. These assembled groups represent part of the monitoring programme EDEN Azores (2008-2014), where all Arthropod fauna, at all strata, within nine representative habitats of the abovementioned five Islands of the Azores was recorded. In this study, a total of 116,523 specimens, belonging to 483 species and subspecies of selected groups of arthropods, are reported by order, family and, when possible, genus and species. Hymenopteran, mostly parasitoids, accounted for the most represented taxa across all the monitoring and sampling phase of EDEN Azores (193 species and mophospecies), followed by Coleoptera (95 species); Collembola (89 species); and Araneae (72 species). A total of 37 non-native species are reported for the first time in the Azores. Coleoptera: Asaphidion flavipes (Linnaeus, 1761) (Carabidae); Tachyporus dispar (Paykull, 1789) (Staphylinidae). Hemiptera: Acrosternum heegeri Fieber, 1861 (Pentatomidae). Collembola: Entomobrya regularis Stach, 1963 (Entomobryidae); Lepidocyrtus lusitanicus piezoensis (Simón-Benito, 2007) (Entomobryidae); Jordanathrix articulata (Ellis, 1974) (Sminthuridae); Sminthurinus quadrimaculatus (Ryder, 1879) (Katiannidae); Himalanura sp. (Entomobryidae); Protophorura sp. (Onychiuridae). Hymenoptera, parasitoids: Aphidius colemani Viereck, 1912 (Braconidae); Aphidius ervi Haliday, 1834 (Braconidae); Aphidius matricariae Viereck, 1912 (Braconidae); Aphidius rhopalosiphi Stefani-Perez, 1902 (Braconidae); Aphidius rosae (Haliday, 1834) (Braconidae); Aphidius urticae Haliday, 1834 (Braconidae); Centistidea ectoedemiae Rohwer, 1914 (Braconidae); Meteorus unicolor (Wesmael, 1835) (Braconidae); Meteorus collaris (Spin.) Hal. – Ruschka, Fulmek, 1915 (Braconidae); Orthostigma cratospilum (Thomson, 1895) (Braconidae); Orthostigma latriventris Ratzeburg, 1844 (Braconidae); two other species of Orthostigma sp.; Pseudopezomachus bituberculatus (Marshall, 1905) (Braconidae); Tanycarpa punctata (van Achterberg, 1976) (Braconidae); Gonatopus clavipes (Thunberg, 1827) (Dryinidae). New genera not previously recorded for the Azores include: Pycnetron sp. (Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae); four species of Aspilota sp. (Braconidae: Alysiinae); four species of Chorebus sp. (Braconidae: Aphidiinae: Alysiinae); Microgaster sp. (Braconidae: Microgastrinae); Homolobus sp. (Braconidae: Homolobinae); Lodbrokia sp. (Braconidae: Alysiinae). These 37 taxa were found in several Islands and five are new species for Flores Island, 10 species are new for Pico Island, 12 species are new for Terceira Island, 19 species are new for S. Miguel Island and five species are new for S. Maria Island. Additional species records for the Islands included: Flores (5 Collembola, 9 Araneae; 2 Hemiptera; 8 Coleoptera, 8 Hymenoptera), Pico (4 Collembola; 7 Araneae; 4 Hemiptera; 11 Coleoptera; 9 Hymenoptera), Terceira (4 Collembola; 1 Araneae; 3 Hymenoptera), S. Miguel (1 Araneae; 2 Coleoptera; 3 Hymenoptera), S. Maria (5 Collembola; 3 Araneae; 2 Hemiptera; 2 Hymenoptera).

As a result of the improvements made to the camera obscura and the study of light sensitivity of silver salts, photography is a product of the 19th century, and by definition an image produced by the effect of light on a foto-sensitized surface. The genesis of the term is closely related to the discovery of the journal of Antoine Hércules Romuald Florence, a French-brazilian painter and a few years later, to Sir John Herschel who for the first time proposed the term “Photography” for the image obtained in the camera obscura in his private correspondence of 28th February 1839.Around the year 1800, Thomas Wegdwood, son of the renowned manufacturer of potery, Josiah Wegdwood, conducted the first experiments which were completed by obtaining multiple images on paper or textiles, sensitized with silver salts in advance. The process of Wegdwood was revealed in 1802, along with the details necessary to achieve it, by the British chemist Humphry Davy in a paper presented to the Royal Society of Sciences in London.Regardless, a number of other researchers have addressed the issue to enthusiasts in other countries, particularly in France. Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, son of a Royal Adviser, born in Chalon-sur-Saône, with numerous scientific pursuits was fascinated by the experiments with light-sensitive substances. His discovery has become an innovative technique for reproduction and the first photo-mechanical process that revolutionized the graphic arts, being known by the name of “heliography”. In the summer of 1827, Niépce manages to obtain the first image in the camera obscura, on a tin plate by 16,5 × 20,3 cm, with an exposure of over 8 hours which left a pale but identifiable image of the inner court of his estate, “Le Gras”.In September 1827, Niépce meets for the first time with Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre and two years later as a result of their correspondence, they start an offcial partnership. The document is signed on December 14, 1829, with an extension for a period of two years, and was intended to promote the process of Niépce, initially with the help of improvements made later on by Daguerre. After Niepce’s death in 1833, Daguerre is awarded such merit in the discovery process, to be known in the future as the “Daguerreotype”.Shortly, after the opening of the first daguerrian studios in New York, the example was taken over in major European capitals, including London, Paris and Vienna. In the British Capital, the first studio of its kind was opened by the great industrialist Richard Beard, who managed to obtain the licence of practice from Daguerre. In June of the same year, François Arago presented before the plenary of the Academy of Sciences in Paris, several portraits obtained in only 10 – 12 seconds by the Bisson brothers. Interested at the beginning in Daguerre's method, Hyppolite Bayard, offcial of the Ministry of Finance in Paris, started his own investigations using different substances and mediums.After the daguerreotype, the Tintype, although it was a variant of wet collodion process, it was invented by amateur photographer Adolphe Alexandre Martin and improved at the same time in England, France and America, by several enthusiasts of photography, being used as an alternative to daguerreotype and it was much more accessible financially.Along with the daguerreotype, it was discovered a new way to obtain images, through a method which had origins in the work of Thomas Wegdwood at the turn of the century, subsequently perfected through the experiments of the Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot after 1835. In 1835, with a pinhole camera fitted with a microscopelens, Talbot manages to capture a window of Lacock Abbey’s library to reside on a small paper and with a longtime exposure. His presentation of the new invention was followed by a statement on 31 January at the Royal Society in London entitled: “Some accounts of the Art of Photogenic Drawing”, and later he called the improved process: the “Calotype”.Louis-Désiré Blanquart Evrard experimented with the photographic paper and his work was revealed by acommunication presented at the French Academy on May 27, 1850, in which he proposes two ways of dealing with paper, one with serum and the other with albumin. Another improved process, one embodiment of the calotype became, with the introduction in 1851 of the paper coated with wax by the Gustave Le Gray, who called it: “waxed paper processing method”. In March of 1851, a British sculptor and calotipist, Frederick Scott Archer, described for the first time in the publication “The Chemist”, a new photographic process based on collodion entitled: “On the use of collodion in Photography”.André-Adolphe Eugene Disderi, discovered after moving to Paris in 1853 new ways of experimenting withwet collodion and the waxed paper of Le Gray. The method produced the photographic cartes-de-visite, which represented another application of collodion technique and consisted in making several frames on a single glass plate treated with this emulsion. A total of 4, 6, 8 or even 12 different frames were made using a camera equipped with as many lenses in the front. One of Disderi’s main competitors proved to be Nadar, who in 1853 opened a photographic studio in Paris in partnership with his brother Adrien.After 1860, new trends in the field of fine art photography were emerging and led to some controversy concerning the so-called “pure photography”, which previously sought faithful representation of reality and the new concepts of pictorial photography that was already taking shape through the work of Oscar Gustav Rejlanderand Henry Peach Robinson. Charles Ludwig Dodgson, known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, also became famousfor the volume of stories “Alice in Wonderland” and practiced photography as a personal hobby since 1856. Julia Margaret Cameron manipulated the photographic negatives to achieve the desired eects by scratches or by the fingerprints left on the printed images, which was often criticized for this by contemporary photographers.The first satisfactory method using dry collodion was attributed to Dr. Richard Leach Maddox from London, who published on 8 September 1871 a brief overview of the process in the publication "British Journal ofPhotography”. Eadweard Muybridge, a British employee as a topographic photographer in California, began to study the various stages of movement of a galloping horse and continued the experiments in collaboration with Leland Stanford, in order to obtain visual information about both the movement of animals and humans.In London, Leon Warneke perfected a camera in 1875 which used flexible celluloid film, using a costly substance, which was composed of India Rubber and collodion and which was subsequently applied to the surface of paper.In last quarter of the century, George Eastman became interested in photography and followed the initiation courses in this area in a local photographer’s studio. In 1879 he patented the first automatic device producing dry plates and his first commercial success was obtained in 1880 with the American company known for photographic accessories, E. & HT Anthony.His first camera model was launched in 1888 as the “Brownie” and had integrated from the manufacturing stage a roll film holder inside. Roll film became very popular in the coming period, especially among amateur photographers and was known as the “American film”. Commercial slogan used by the Eastman’s company Kodak monopolized the global photographic market to mid-twentieth century with the message content: “You push the button, we do the rest”.
