No full textMicrophorella viticula sp. nov. (Figs 1, 2, 49–55) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: B4BCEB5C-323D-48AF-AE00-604896D7A5EC Type material. HOLOTYPE ♂ labelled: “ AUST: NSW: Blue Mtns. N.P./ Blackheath, Govetts/ Leap [ca 33°38′S 150°19′E], 4.iv.1994 / B.J. Sinclair / ex. dry scler. creek”; “ HOLOTYPE / Microphorella viticula / Brooks & Cumming [red label]” (CNC). Diagnosis. Males of M. viticula sp. nov. are distinguished from the other known Australasian Microphorella by the following combination of features: body and legs dark brown with black setation (Fig. 49); palpus dark and narrowly ovate (Fig. 51); hypopygium (Figs 53–55) with phallus greatly elongated, slender and tightly curled; hypandrium relatively small, slightly wider than epandrial lamellae in lateral view. Description. Male (Fig. 49): Body length 1.32 mm, wing length 1.35 mm. Similar to M. bungle sp. nov. except as follows: Head (Figs 50, 51): 2 pairs of inclinate fronto-orbitals, posterior pair smaller; postocular setae slightly longer and pale brown; postpedicel 2X longer than wide, with basal half round and distal half narrow; arista-like stylus 1.8X length of postpedicel. Thorax (Fig. 50). Legs (Fig. 49). Wing (Fig. 52). Abdomen (Figs 49, 53–55): Hypopygium (some details not visible on unique undissected holotype): Left ventral epandrial process longer. Ventral lobe of right surstylus apparently short, with a few apical setae. Hypandrium with posterior margin drawn into short pointed tip projecting dorsally and supporting protruding phallus. Ventral part of left postgonite lobe (medial to base of left ventral epandrial process) apparently developed into large flap-like lobe. Phallus greatly elongated, slender and tightly curled. Female. Unknown. Distribution. This species is known only from the type locality of Govetts Leap in Blue Mountains National Park, New South Wales, Australia (Figs 1, 2). Etymology. From the Latin viticula, meaning tendril, in reference to the long thin curled phallus of the male. Remarks. The single holotype male is stated as having been taken in dry sclerophyl habitat near the creek (Fig. 2), but was likely collected where the trail crosses the stream (B.J. Sinclair, pers. comm., 2022). Aside from the difference in phallic structure, the hypopygial morphology of M. viticula sp. nov. is very similar to M. bungle sp. nov. and the species appear closely related.Published as part of Brooks, Scott E. & Cumming, Jeffrey M., 2022, New Australasian Parathalassiinae (Diptera: Dolichopodidae sensu lato), pp. 521-543 in Zootaxa 5188 (6) on page 541, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5188.6.2, http://zenodo.org/record/710361
Actresses, Gender and the Eighteenth-Century Stage : Playing Women
No full textOver the course of the eighteenth century notions of what it meant to be a woman changed radically. Through examining the work of actresses including Anne Oldfield, Peg Woffington, Dora Jordan, and Sarah Siddons, Helen Brooks reveals how female performers both responded, and contributed to, these changes. Ranging from the masculine rhetorical skill of Oldfield and the androgynous cross-dressing of Woffington in the first half of the century, as well as the performances of 'self' cultivated by Jordan and Siddons at the end, this book reveals how actresses reacted to the cultural shift from the one to two-sex body, and from a protean to a Romantic model of self, by developing new ways of 'playing women'. Consistent throughout the century however was the economic motivation behind these gendered performances: as Brooks emphasizes, actresses were ambitious entrepreneurs who, unlike other professional women, succeeded because, rather than in spite of, their gender
