No full textBolborhinum geotrupoides (Laporte, 1840) (Figs. 1, 2, 15–18) Original combination. Bolboceras geotrupoides Laporte, 1840: 104. Type locality: “ CHILE, Talca Prov., Alto Vilches, 1100 m ” (original type locality: “ Chili ”). Type series: neotype at CMNC labeled: “ CHILE, Talca Prov. / AltoVilches, 1100m. / 10–12.XII. 1976 / H. F. Howden” (typeset), b) “H.&A.

Neotype here designated. See “Designation of lectotypes and neotypes ” section for further statements of qualifying conditions for the designation of this neotype. All reasonable steps were exhausted to trace the original type material of this taxon. Many Laporte type specimens have been lost, but some are currently housed in the MNHN and in the Museum of Victoria in Abbotsford, Australia (MVMA). The second author searched for type material at the MNHN in May 2005 and Ken Walker (curator of entomology at the MVMA) searched for type material in the MVMA, both without success. We can only conclude that the type material has been lost. The specimen selected as the neotype matches the original description of Laporte (1840) and falls within the original type locality.

Lectotype here designated. Specimens examined. 343 specimens were examined from AUPC, CMNC, CNCI, FMNH, GACC, HAHC, INHS, JEBC, JMEC, MEUC, MGAC, MNHN, MNNC, SRTC, UCCC, UMCE, VMDC. Diagnosis. Length 14.5–22.0 mm. Color generally reddish-brown. The number, shape, and placement of the male clypeal horns are diagnostic as follows: head dorsally with two medial horns that are connected by an elevated carina (Fig. 15); the apical horn is more robust and located at the clypeal apex, the basal horn is smaller and located immediately behind the first. The two horns could be interpreted as a single bifid horn (in small individuals the second clypeal horn is replaced by a pair of small tubercles located on each side of the midline). Male pronotum with deep and wide anterior excavation occupying almost two thirds of pronotum; surface smooth, generally impunctate; posterosuperior ridge transverse, slightly arcuate anteriorly, sometimes with lateral edge anteriorly projected in larger specimens. Female similar to male, except in the trapezoidal shape and smaller length of the head in comparison with the male; dorsal surface medially with a small, weakly elevated tubercle and a pair of short lateral carinae that are convergent distally. Clypeus anteriorly truncate, elevated. Pronotum with weak depression located immediately behind the apical margin; disc with fine furrow and sparse punctures on the dorsal surface; laterally with punctures dense to sparse, distributed irregularly across the surface.

Remarks: Identification of this species is complicated because of the variable head armature of males. The second clypeal horn can be either prominent or absent, and when present, this horn is either bifurcate or simple. In individuals where the second clypeal horn is absent, there is in its place a pair of distinctly separated tubercles behind the first clypeal horn (Figs. 17–18). This variation is not as extreme as the male dimorphism recognized by Howden (1979) in some species of the Australian genus Blackburnium Boucomont, but it is enough to cause confusion and probably lead to the failure to recognize B. geotrupoides and B. binasutum as synonyms until now. We examined over 200 male specimens of this species and found the male armature of B. geotrupoides, B. binasutum, and B. distinguendum to fall within our concept of this somewhat variable species. Therefore the latter two names are here synonymized under B. geotrupoides.Published as part of Mondaca, José & Smith, Andrew B.

Schade— 1 female (CMNC); same locality, xi. 1956, coll. Walz— 1 male (CMNC). Natural history. A specimen was collected in a pitfall trap baited with Sus scrofa dung. Remarks. Females differ in having the anterior pronotal carina straighter and set very close to the anterior margin, the carina is only finely tuberculate medially. The abdominal sternite 7 is also nearly flat medially. Variation, as usual, occurs in the extent of the metallic marking on head and pronotum. The greenish tinge is rather uniform in the sample studied. The extent and density of the fine tubercles and rugulae on the pronotal anterior angles vary, in some specimens the sculpturing is finer and denser and set on a slightly larger area. Nomenclature and taxonomy. The type of D. quadratus is presume destroyed (see comment under D. ater on Laporte’s collection). Historically, the status of this species has remain unsettled. In the first review of the group, Castelnau (1840) simply copied the description he made in 1832 omitting the Latin diagnosis. Harold (1869), in his catalogue, considered D. quadratus as a synonym of D. viridis. Felsche (1909) briefly commented Harold’s synonymy and suggest that D. quadratus cannot be synonymous with D. viridis as the meso- and metatarsi are three segmented and are only two segments in D. viridis. Felsche stated that the third segment is present but barely visible based on a specimen studied from Chevrolat’s collection and labeled as “ Enicotarsus quadratus de Cast.- Type ”. Olsoufieff (1924) discuss again the situation and concluded that D. quadratus is indeed a valid species, but do not attempt to settle the issue. Pessôa and Lane (1936) essentially repeat Olsoufieff’s observations and questionably leave D. quadratus as a synonym of D. viridis. Finally, Blut (1939) concluded that the status of D. quadratus remain uncertain and is the first author to use the measurements given by Laporte in the original description to suggest that D. quadratus cannot be a synonym of D. viridis which is distinctly larger. Blut also rightly point out that the specimen from Chevrolat’s collection possess only two tarsal segments and not three as stated by previous authors. Furthermore, Blut suggest that D. quadratus body size would be similar to those of D. refulgen s. However, in the end, Blut conclude that the name D. quadratus is to be forgotten as he considered the name to be in litteris. The purpose of this work is to address all taxonomic problems pertaining to the genus and therefore we designate a neotype for Laporte’s species D. quadratus of which the original description meet requirements for being valid. In order to remain as conservative as possible we designate a male specimen from the Museum national d’Histoire naturelle that comply with the original description and has precise locality data. This specimen matches approximately the size given by Laporte and the very rudimentary description. It also matches the historical specimen from Chevrolat’s collection. This specimen differs from the original description by the “[pronotum] très-fortement ponctué avec des espaces lisses”, which could correspond to certain Coprophanaeoides species. We however, interpret the heavy punctation as being the sculpturing of the lateral pronotal declivities. Following the designation of a neotype for D. quadratus the following nomenclatural acts can now be implemented (the second epithet being valid): 1) D. smaragdinus Waterhouse, 1891 = D. quadratus Laporte, 1832, new synonymy. The holotype of D. smaragdinus is a very small individual of D. quadratus, aside being slightly teneral and having the median lobe of the metasternum slightly more convex no differences can be found. 2) D. planus Olsoufieff, 1924 = D. quadratus Laporte, 1832, new synonymy. The lectotype of D. planus has been studied and except for being a female and having the pronotal green metallic marking less extensive no other differences could be found. 3) D. smaragdinus chevrolati Blut, 1939 = D. quadratus Laporte, 1832, new synonymy. The holotype female of D. smaragdinus chevrolati has been compared to the holotype of D. quadratus and only differs in the extent of the pronotal metallic marking which are absent on most of the disc. The pronotal and cephalic microsculpture are slightly more pronounced. The fine tubercles and rugulae of the pronotal lateral declivities are denser and cover slightly more surface. The pronotal punctures are fine instead of minute laterally posterior to lateral fossae. Some specimens in the material studied show intermediate forms and this variation is here considered intraspecific.Published as part of François Génier & Patrick Arnaud, 2016, Dendropaemon Perty, 1830: taxonomy, systematics and phylogeny of the morphologically most derived phanaeine genus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeinae, Phanaeini) in Zootaxa 4099 (1) on pages 76-79, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4099.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/26827

Towards the provision of assistance for very small entities in deploying software lifecycle standards
No full textThis paper outlines the recent development of a series of detailed guidelines known as “Deployment Packages” (DPs) for use with the emerging ISO/IEC 29110 software process lifecycle standard for Very Small Entities (VSEs). Such DPs are intended to provide detailed guidelines and explanation presenting in more detail the processes defined in the ISO/IEC 29110 profiles. This paper will also outline a pilot project initiative currently underway to evaluate these Deployment Packages and assist very small companies in understanding and exploring the potential usage of an international software process development standard
Desenvolvimento e construção de um laser de CO2
No full textDissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas.Neste trabalho nós estudamos a possibilidade de excitarmos um laser de CO2 com microondas através de ondas eletromagnéticas de superfície. Para medirmos o ganho de pequeno sinal em tal laser, construímos o primeiro laser de CO2 do estado de Santa Catarina utilizando somente materiais e componentes encontrados comercialmente neste estado. Apenas os componentes ópticos (espelhos de SeZn) foram importados. Este laser gerou aproximadamente 2 Watts de radiação infravermelha em regime pulsado, 120Hz. Investigamos a possibilidade de refrigeração de colunas de plasma sustentados com microondas superficiais, usando uma camisa de água coaxial externa. Calculamos a distribuição radial do campo eletromagnético considerando a refrigeração externa com água, bem como a relação de dispersão relacionada com a propagação das ondas eletromagnéticas superficiais. Mostramos experimentalmente que a absorção das microondas pela água é apenas uma pequena fração da energia entregue ao plasma. Nossos resultados mostram a possibilidade de se operar um laser de CO2 excitados com microondas superficiais resfriado externamente com uma camisa d'água
A software engineering lifecycle standard for very small enterprises
No full textIndustry recognizes that very small enterprises (VSE), that develop parts involving software components are very important to the economy. These parts are often integrated into products of larger enterprises. Failure to deliver a quality product on time and within budget threatens the competitiveness of both organizations. One way to mitigate these risks is to haveall suppliers of a product chain put recognized engineering practices in place. Many international standards and models such as ISO/IEC12207 or CMMI have been developed to capture proven engineering practices. However, these standards were not designed for very small development organizations, those with less than 25 employees, and are consequently difficult to apply in such settings. An ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 Working Group has been established to address these difficulties by producing a software engineering standard tailored to VSE
