After almost 85 years of palynological research, an impressive amount of pollen diagrams from the Vosges Mountains (NE France) is available. This paper presents an overview of these pollen diagrams and lists their main features and literature sources within a historical context. Furthermore, a short summary is provided on the natural and cultural context.
Orthotylus (Pachylops) neoriegeri sp. n. is described from Morocco (South Anti-Atlas). Colour dorsal habitus and illustrations of male and female genitalia are provided. The specimens were collected by beating Cytisus balansae (Fabaceae). Based on the pilosity, the male genitalia and the host-plant association, the new species is placed in the subgenus Pachylops Fieber, 1858.
It differs from the other species mainly by the brown coloration and the phallic sclerotized appendages of the male. Host-plant association within the subgenus Pachylops is briefy discussed.
Four new species of scytodid spiders from Brazil are described: Scytodes becki sp.n. from Niquelandia and Scytodes
eleonorae sp.n. from Sao Domingos, both in the state of Goias; Scytodes skuki sp.n. from Aripuana, Mato Grosso and
Scytodes strussmannae sp.n. from Xapuri, Acre. Together with the synanthropic species S. globula Nicolet and the Brazilian species S. itapevi Brescovit & Rheims these four new species form a distinct group within the Neotropical Scytodes, herein named "globula group" New records for S. globula and S. itapevi are also reported.
One new species, Holhymenia riegeri nov. spec., is described from Bolivia and Ecuador. Holhymenia intermedia (Burmeister,1835) and H. tibialis Breddin, 1904, are considered junior synonyms of H. clavigera (Herbst, 1784); new records of H. histrio (Fabricius, 1803), H. persimilis Breddin, 1903, H. rubiginosa Breddin, 1904, and H. scenica (Stål, 1865) are given; a key to all known species is included.
Additional information on the distribution of eleven species of stilt bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) from the Afrotropical region is reported and discussed with respect to the major biomes of Africa. For some species, remarks on ecology, identifcation and taxonomy are included. New country records are indicated for Gampsoacantha pumilio, Gampsocoris africanus cornutus, Micrometacanthus trichoferus, Cametanthus madagascariensis, Metacanthus microphthalmus, M. mollis, M. nitidus,
Neostusakia picticornis and Yemma gracilis.
The material of Xantholinini (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) collected by A. RIEDEL in Indonesia is studied. The following new species are described: Andelis tinalum n. sp. (Java), Sumatera halimun n. sp. (Java), Erymus ijen n. sp. (Java), Erymus pohen n. sp. (Bali); Sumatera riedeli n. sp. (Sumatra). The following species are new records for the region: Metolinus modiglianii (Java,
Mentawei), Maharadja pubiventris (Sumatra).
The architectural features of the five Nasutitermes species occurring in a Neotropical floodplain (varzea) forest on llha de
Marchantaria in central Amazonia are described: external nest and runway architecture, nest volume, nest height above ground, nesting trees, degree of polycalism). These characteristics are used to build a tentative field key to the nest-building
termite species which should be tested for its usefulness for ecological studies of central Amazonian termites.
Liturgy has often served as a source for studying the identities of medieval religious
communities through examining local saints and special chants or ceremonies. This article
deepens such approaches by considering the practice of liturgical coordination, which
required each convent to reconcile the obligations imposed upon it by the order to
which it belonged, the diocese in which it lay, and the personal networks of its sisters.
The shifting dates of the Easter cycle created a wide variety of possible calendrical conflicts
and necessitated that each convent’s liturgical practice be organized anew every year.
Focusing on German-language liturgical manuals from Observant Dominican convents,
this article introduces these sources and examines the various obligations, authorities,
and sources of advice that Dominican sisters coordinated when planning each year’s
liturgy. It then turns to the concrete example of a major calendrical conflict on May 1,
1519, which illustrates how convents negotiated their networked obligations and defended
their decisions. Supplementing traditional sources such as chronicles and charters,
liturgical administrative documents reveal how each convent’s liturgical identity was
both iterative and networked and how the tensions between these features opened up
spaces for assertive decision-making.
In this paper, we describe a new species of Mesoplophora collected from forest floor litter in southwestern Nigeria. Mesoplophora is a cosmopolitan genus of pytchoid mites that has been recorded from the Palaearctic region as well as Morocco
and Tchad in the Ethiopian region. M. ife an a is the first Mesoplophora species to be fully identified and described from Nigeria. Differences between this species, M. ifeana, and other Mesoplophora species recorded from Africa are observed in
respect of the number of spines on the sensillus, presence of two pairs of exobothridial setae and leg chaetotaxy. The lack of information on fine taxonomic details of adults and deutonymphs of M. africana from Tchad as well as the discrepancies in the description of certain morphological features such as organisation and chaetotaxy of the ventral plates as well as the nomenclature of setae on the aspis were noted. Attention was drawn to the unique combination of traits of both lower
and higher Oribatida in Mesoplophora, a trait which may be responsible for its ubiquitous distribution.
