Vertical coherence in mantle heterogeneity from global seismic data
No full textThe vertical coherence of mantle structure is of importance for a range of dynamic issues including convective mass transport and the geochemical evolution of Earth. Here, we use seismic data to infer the most likely depth ranges of strong, global changes in the horizontal pattern of mantle heterogeneity. We apply our algorithm to a comprehensive set of measurements, including various shear- and compressional-wave delay times and Love- and Rayleigh-wave fundamental mode and overtone dispersion, so that tomography resolution is as high as possible at all mantle depths. We find that vertical coherence is minimum at similar to 100 km and similar to 800 km depths, corresponding to the base of the lithosphere and the transition between upper and lower mantle, respectively. The D '' layer is visible, but not as prominent as the shallower features. The rest of the lower mantle is, essentially, vertically coherent. These findings are consistent with slab stagnation at depths around, and perhaps below, the 660-km phase transition, and inconsistent with global, chemically distinct, mid-mantle layering.

Cephalodromia Becker 1914
No full textCephalodromia Becker Cephalodromia Becker, 1914: 121. Type species: Cephalodromia curvata Becker, 1914, by monotypy Ceratolaemus Hesse, 1938:969 (as subgenus of Platypygus Loew). Type species: Platypygus xanthogrammus Hesse, 1938, by original designation. Comments: This genus is known from the southern and eastern Palaearctic, Afrotropical, and Oriental Regions. Many species of this genus were originally described in Cyrtosia.. Examination of types and topotypic specimens of many species in this study has resulted in the transfer of a number of species to Cephalodromia based on the shape of the postgena and genitalia.African species newly transferred to Cephalodromia here include the following: Cephalodromia albocincta (Séguy) comb. n.; C. bicolor (Santos Abreu) comb. n.; C. dumonti (Séguy) comb. n.; C. flava (Séguy) comb. n.; C. humeralis (Santos Abreu) comb. n.; C. nitens (Loew) comb. n. Distribution: Northern Africa, Canary Islands: 5 species; Cephalodromia albocincta (Séguy), C. bicolor (Santos Abreu), C. flava (Séguy), C. humeralis (Santos Abreu), C. nitens (Loew). Southern Africa: 10 species.Published as part of Greathead, D. J. & Evenhuis, N.

Usiinae Becker 1913
No full textUsiinae Becker Type genus: Usia Latreille, 1802. Evenhuis (1990 a) revised the world genera of the Usiinae and Phthiriinae, which he recognised as closely related, but Yeates (1994) found that they formed a monophyletic group and united them as a single subfamily, Usiinae. However, the characters proposed by Evenhuis (1990 a) for separating the two subfamilies (Evenhuis 1990 a) have been re-examined and are considered to justify the recognition of two distinct subfamilies (Evenhuis & Greathead 1999). The Usiinae are readily separated from the Phthiriinae by the first flagellomere having a subapical sulcus bearing a style and being without dorsal or ventral processes, and on the absence of vein M 2 (three posterior cells).Published as part of Greathead, D.

Diagnosis: Large (Fig. 1j). Male FW length 17-19 mm (37-42 mm wingspan), female 16-18 mm (35-40 mm wingspan). Yellowish. Wings ornate with an intricate net of curved and lunulate lines; FW apex acute, a large fuscous patch beyond the median line to termen, from R4 to tornus; HW with a fuscous area at apex, distad of postmedial band, narrowing along termen to M3; an elongate, irregular fuscous band at middle, delimiting a yellowish orbicular. Male genitalia with uncus short, expanded distally forming lateral, broad triangles. Description: Sexes similar. FW 17-19 mm (37-42 mm wingspan) (Fig. 1j). Head and thorax pale yellow. Labial palpi pale yellow, fuscous distally. Patagia with a fuscous line across middle; tegula with row of fuscous scales at base. Legs pale yellow; fore and mid coxae and femora fuscous, tarsi ringed fuscous. FW pale yellow, basal and antemedial bands curved, fuscous; antemedial band followed with three orbicular spots; reniform spot extending to near costa; large, fuscous patch beyond postmedial band, from R4 to tornus. HW with orbicular and reniform spots well defined; postmedial line double, forming lunules on vein interspaces; broad fuscous patch on apex, narrowing along termen towards M3; terminal line fuscous; internal margin white; cilia fuscous from apex to M3, pale yellow to tornus. Abdomen pale yellow, banded fuscous on articulations. Male genitalia (Figs. 3k): Uncus short, broad, with lateral triangular expansions; valva two times longer than wide, margins nearly parallel, costa straight, distal third of ventral margin round to acute apex; fibula a thin, sharp, bent hook. Juxta an elongate shield. Vinculum expanded basally, round. Phallus (Fig. 3l) straight, thin; vesica with an irregular, small plate. Female genitalia (Fig. 5n): Ostium bursae long, narrow; ductus bursae, long, almost as long as abdomen, straight, broadened slightly basad; corpus bursae oblong, signum a small, round, spined plate. Distribution: Endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, at high elevations. Etymology: From the Latin confusion -onis =mixture, disorder; in reference to the confusion caused by the earlier workers misidentifications of P. scripturalis. Remarks: A large species, the same size and externally almost identical to S. limata. Easily separated by their distribution: S. limata from North America to Ecuador, at high elevations; S. confusalis restricted to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. Also by their male genitalia: inS. limata the uncus (Fig. 3i) is long, with the margins nearly parallel, and slightly concave at apex, whereas in S. confusalis (Fig.3k) the uncus is short, broadly expanded laterally into a triangular projection. This species has been misidentified as S.scripturalis by earlier workers, and under this name curated in all collections. S. scripturalis (Figs. 1 k-l) is a smaller [FW 12 mm; 27 mm wingspan], the same size and externally identical to S. suffusalis (Fig. 1m), if not the same species.As, unfortunately, no male ofS. scripturalis is available to allow comparing their genitalia, the two are retained as distinct. S. limata is treated as P.scripturalis, byAmsel (1956-1957: 129), a misidentification; the male genitalia (Pl. 81, fig. 8) martch those of other specimens from Mexico and Central America.Published as part of Becker, Vitor Osmar, 2023, The identity of Syllepte incomptalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Spilomelinae) with synonymies, new combinations and new species, pp. 1-12 in Revista Brasileira de Entomologia (e 20220093) (e 20220093) 67 (1) on pages 9-10, DOI: 10.1590/1806-9665-RBENT-2022-0093, http://zenodo.org/record/811145
