Agdistis cambriana Arenberger & Beard & Karisch 2016, spec. nov.
No full textAgdistis cambriana spec. nov. Holotype, ♂: “ St. Helena, Rupert’s Valley, WGS 84 15°55.460'S, 5°42.650'W, 36 MASL, 02-23/V/2014, Malaise trap, coll. David Pryce ”. Coll. MNVD. Paratypes: 6 ♂♂ (2 ♂♂ GU 3320, 3321 KARISCH) with the same data as holotype, coll. MNVD, NHMW, BMNH; 1 ♀ (GU 6450, ARENBERGER) St. Helena, Upper Jamestown, Cambrian House, 05.II.2011, leg. A. M. BEARD, coll. NHMW. Etymology: Named from the locality at Cambrian House, Jamestown, St. Helena. Diagnosis (Figs 5, 6): Wingspan: 11.5– 13 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen grey-brown; palpi at base dark brown, tips grey; antenna brown, whitish spotted. Forewing grey-brown, covered with numerous brown scales. Costal margin with two dots, lower fold margin with two large, brown patches which extend to the fringes. Hindwing monochrome grey-brown, anal margin with scattered dark brown scales. Hind legs grey, tarsi white, terminally brown. Genitalia ♂ (Fig. 2): uncus similar to that of A. marionae, but caudal margin concave incised, lateral tips divergent. Valvae symmetrical, basal parts dumpy, in distal half slender, strip-shaped; outer parts of valva bent, bar-shaped, broadened at the end, but not crenate as in A. marionae (Fig. 1); costal arms slender, strongly curved distally. Aedeagus rather slender, slightly arcuate. 8 th sternite plate-shaped, caudal margin with two broad lobes. Genitalia ♀ (Fig. 4): antrum similar to that of A. marionae (Fig. 3), but considerably shorter and lateral setae of antrum are less bent. Biological notes: The caterpillar of A. cambriana spec. nov. is unknown. The imago has been caught in February and May. The habitat is an area with sparse scrub vegetation and some gardens near the north coast of the island (Fig. 7). Differential diagnosis: Imago of A. cambriana spec. nov. with two costal dots, lacking in A. marionae. In A. marionae only basal part of forewing darkened, in A. cambriana spec. nov. the whole forewing uniform grey-brown, scattered with brown scales. In ♂ -genitalia, distal end of uncus in A. cambriana spec. nov. broad with two divergent tips, in A. marionae tips strongly approximated. Tip of right valva rounded, in A. marionae crenate. Caudal margin of 8 th sternite bilobed in both species, but in A. marionae tips are short, outwardly bent, and in A. cambriana spec. nov. they form broad plates. Antrum in A. marionae considerably longer and more slender than in A. cambriana spec. nov. Distribution: Likely endemic to St. Helena.Published as part of Arenberger, Ernst, Beard, Annalea M. & Karisch, Timm, 2016, A new Agdistis from St. Helena Island (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae), pp. 325-328 in Beiträge Zur Entomologie = Contributions to Entomology 66 (2) on pages 327-328, DOI: 10.21248/contrib.entomol.66.2.325-328, http://zenodo.org/record/537298

Digital Photos, Embedded Metadata and Personal Privacy
No full textThe topic of personal privacy concerns of how corporations utilize personal data are examined in the context of personal digital archiving. Most modern devices that capture audio, video and still images automatically embed a significant amount of personally identifiable information. There are constructive uses for this embedded metadata. However, individuals who use online services to curate their collections may not be aware this data exists, and thus may not able to give informed consent about its use.This is the Accepted Manuscript (AM), post-peer review
The eBethArké Syriac digital library: a case study
No full textThe eBetharké Syriac Digital Library Portal is a collaborative effort between the libraries at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; and the Beth Mardutho Syriac Institute, a traditional library of texts; to create a specialized digital library collection online. This digital library features content in and relating to Syriac, an Aramaic dialect spoken in the 1st century A.D. and for which a great deal of historically significant documents were written during the period. This task required effort and research on multiple fronts, including software development; collaboration on technical, interpersonal, and policy-based levels; and in overcoming challenges related to the predominant computing platforms installed and in use by potential users of this digital library. This collaboration provided significant new challenges and learning experiences among the staff who worked on this project and provides a base upon which our digital library platforms can diversify and be more culturally aware.Peer reviewe
