Cryptophagus grahammontanus Esser 2018, nov.sp.
No full textCryptophagus grahammontanus nov.sp. T y p e m a t e r i a l: Holotype ♂: " Arizona: Graham Mts., May 18 1969, K. Stephan leg [FSCA]. Paratypes: 2♂♂, 1♀ with the same data as the holotype [FSCA, cES]; 1♀: " Arizona Graham Mts., 9200 ft., April 25 1971, K. Stephan leg [FSCA]." E t y m o l o g y: Named after the Graham Mountains in Arizona (USA) where the types were collected. D e s c r i p t i o n: Male, 1.8 mm, hind wings absent, humeral callus nearly absent, with small tooth. Reddish-brown with legs and antennae paler, eyes of normal size. Punctation fine and moderately dense on head and pronotum, less dense on elytra (basal third). Covered with yellowish and decumbent pubescence. Pronotum hardly wider as long. Anterior callosity short but prominent, forming a hook. Lateral tooth in the middle, lateral margin concave before the tooth and convex behind the tooth. Rim of the margin indistinct before and distinct behind the tooth. Elytra strongly elongated. Legs more stout, antennae slender without any features, segment IX and X slightly transverse. C o m m e n t: Typical species which is similar to C. stephani (fig. 7) and very similar to C. bussi ESSER, 2017 (fig. 6). C. stephani has a strongly elongated pronotum, C. bussi a less elongated pronotum which is more elongated as in grahammontanus with more convex posterior margin. Legs and antennae are in grahammontanus more slender than in bussi. Cryptophagus bussi was described from the Magdalena Mountains in New Mexico. So far known, the species seems to be restricted to this mountain range. It is obvious, that C. grahammontanus is also restricted to mountain range of the Graham Mountains.Published as part of Esser, Jens, 2018, New Cryptophagus H, 1792 (Coleoptera: Cryptophagidae) from Arizona (United States of America), pp. 1067-1071 in Linzer biologische Beiträge 50 (2) on page 1069, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.377644
Dapsa nigripennis Esser 2019

Sinop [ZMB, cES].</p> <p> Das Taxon <i>Dapsa nigripennis</i> REITTER, 1879 wurde von AUDISIO & DE BIASE (1996) mit <i>Dapsa limbata</i> MOTSCHULSKY, 1835 synonymisiert (Abb. 2, 4). Die Grundlage dafür waren ein als <i>limbata</i> MOTSCHULSKY gedeutetes Weibchen aus der nordwestlichen Türkei (Umg. Bolu) und ein weiteres Weibchen (der Typus von <i>D. nigripennis</i> REITTER) aus der Umgebung der heute Gjumri genannten armenischen Stadt (ehemals Alexanderhilf, Alexandroupolis oder Leninakan).</p> <p>Aufgrund einer ähnlich geringen Anzahl von Tieren kamen auch SEMENOV & NIKITSKY (2001) zu keinem anderen Schluss und behielten die Synonymie bei.</p> <p> Da das typische Material beider Arten weiterhin als verschollen gelten muss (<i>D. limbata</i> MOTSCHULSKY) oder nur noch aus einem einzelnen Weibchen besteht (<i>D. nigripennis</i> REITTER - REITTER (1879) nannte allerdings zwei Exemplare), ist auch die hier vorgenommene Revalidierung nicht gänzlich frei von Zweifeln. Doch der Zugriff auf Material (inkl. männlicher Tiere) aus der Nähe der beiden Typenfundorte lässt das Vorhandensein zweier Arten zweifelsfrei erkennen und eine Anwendung auf die beiden vorhandenen Namen erscheint als die naheliegende Lösung.</p> <p> Der Typenfundort von <i>D</i>. <i>limbata</i> wird von MOTSCHULSKY (1835) mit "sur les montagnes d'Akhalzik en Arménie " angegeben. Die Region liegt heute im Grenzgebiet von Georgien (Provinzen Adscharien und Samzche-Dschawachetien) und der Türkei (Provinzen Artvin, Ardahan und Ezurum). Aktuelles Material liegt aus der weiter westlich gelegenen türkischen Provinz Kastmonu und der weiter östlich gelegenen armenischen Provinz Kotajk vor.</p> <p> Von <i>D</i>. <i>nigripennis</i> REITTER liegt der Typenfundort in der Nähe des heutigen Gjumri in Armenien. Jüngeres Material wurde in der türkischen Provinz Sinop gesammelt.</p> <p> Demnach scheinen beide Arten von Armenien und Georgien entlang der türkischen Schwarzmeerküste nach Westen verbreitet zu sein. AUDISIO & DE BIASE (1996) geben noch die türkische Provinz Bolu an, von wo ihnen ein Weibchen vorlag. Es wäre aber empfehlenswert, männliche Exemplare (so vorhanden) aus dem Nordwesten der Türkei auf die Artgleichheit mit <i>D. limbata</i> MOTSCHULSKY oder <i>nigripennis</i> REITTER zu prüfen, da in anderen Fällen die kaukasischen Arten dort bereits durch verwandte Arten ersetzt werden (ESSER 2017, ESSER 2019).</p> <p>Im Grunde sind beide Arten gut unterscheidbar, v. a. die Männchen mittels Aedoeagus. Bei den Weibchen wie bei Männchen ohne Genitalpräparat bietet der Fühlerbau eine gute Unterscheidungsmöglichkeit (Tab. 1).</p>Published as part of <i>Esser, Jens, 2019, Anmerkungen zur Gattung Dapsa L, 1829 (Coleoptera, Endomychidae), pp. 907-914 in Linzer biologische Beiträge 51 (2)</i> on page 908, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/3741910">10.5281/zenodo.3741910</a>

From Stakeholder Management to Stakeholder Accountability
No full textConfronted with mounting pressure to ensure accountability vis-Ã -vis customers, citizens and beneficiaries, organizational leaders need to decide how to choose and implement so-called accountability standards. Yet while looking for an appropriate standard, they often base their decisions on cost-benefit calculations, thus neglecting other important spheres of influence pertaining to more broadly defined stakeholder interests. We argue in this paper that, as a part of the strategic decision for a certain standard, management needs to identify and act according to the needs of all stakeholders. We contend that the creation of a dialogical understanding among affected stakeholders cannot be a mere outcome of applying certain accountability standards, but rather must be a necessary precondition for their use. This requires a stakeholder dialogue prior to making a choice. We outline such a discursive decision framework for accountability standards based on the Habermasian concept of communicative action and, in the final section, apply our conceptual framework to one of the most prominent accountability tools (AA 1000).
