Marketing A Hospitality Program And Its Product
No full textIn his dialogue entitled - Marketing A Hospitality Program and Its Product - Jürgen Chopard, Dr. es Sciences (Economics) Director, Centre International de Glion, Glion, Switzerland, Dr. Chopard initially offers: “The recruitment of qualified personnel is extremely difficult in an industry with a poor image; where career paths are not well defined. The author discusses the employment of marketing management techniques to improve the positioning of hospitality education and create a more attractive perception of the hotel industry.”
As outlined in the above paragraph, Dr. Chopard vectors-in on marketing strategies from two standpoints; the educational side with its focus on curriculum, and the larger, industry side with its emphasis on public perception and service. These are not necessarily, nor should they be viewed as disparate elements.
“ Although some professionals may see schools of hospitality education catering to two markets, students on one hand and industry on the other, in fact, their needs should be viewed as the same and hence a single market,” Dr. Chopard says to bolster his assertion.
“The marketing concept is a management orientation that holds that the key task of the organization is to determine the needs and wants of target markets and to adapt the organization to delivering the desired satisfactions more effectively and efficiently than its competitor,” the author confides, with an attribution.
From these information/definition leanings, Dr. Chopard continues on a path that promotes the Centre International de Glion, Glion, Switzerland, which he is affiliated with. Why, because they endorse the same principles he is explaining to you. That’s not a bad thing.
Essentially, what Dr. Chopard wants you to know is, education and business management are synonymous and therefore should share the same marketing designs and goals.
“It is hard to believe that as critically important a sector as education does not use for its own management the techniques which it teaches and which have largely been proved in other fields,” the author provides as counterpoint.
Since pedagogical needs so closely relate to the more pragmatic needs of the industry in general, these elements should seek to compliment and engage each other, in fact, collaboration is imperative, Dr. Chopard expresses a priori.
“The cooperation of future employers is indispensable in the preparation of the product, so that it is capable of providing the expected services. The need for close relations between training establishments and the hotel and catering industry seems obvious,” Dr. Chopard says.
The author reveals some flaws in hospitality marketing strategy, and then contrasts these against how a successful strategy could/should be implemented

Odontogryllodes brevicauda Chopard, 1969, by original designation. Remarks. This genus previously consisted of six species from Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Java prior to the new species described from Borneo. These crickets are characterised by a cylindrical body; males with short FWs and completely lack stridulatory apparatus; metanotal gland present; tympanum absent; females with short ovipositor (Gorochov, 2016). Tan & Kamaruddin (2016) presented a key to species.Published as part of Tan, Ming Kai, Japir, Razy, Chung, Arthur Y.

Thespoides bolivari Chopard 1916
No full textThespoides bolivari Chopard, 1916 (Figs. 1–2) The actual holotype (Fig. 1) is incomplete, as the mesothorax, metathorax and abdomen are all now missing. The only parts left are the pronotum, both forelegs, and the head, the latter partially damaged. The specimen bears three labels (Fig. 1). The original description of the complete insect was accompanied by three illustrations that are reproduced in Figure 2. After comparing this specimen with the original description and accompanying illustrations, the author was able to draw several conclusions about its identity, as follows: A) The only surviving parts of the type (i.e., the prothorax and head) conform to the original description of T. bolivari. The left foretibia and femur are notoriously smaller than the right ones, a clear sign of a regenerated lost limb; this anatomical feature of the type was not mentioned by Chopard. Analysis of pronotal proportions, armature of the forelegs and general habitus of these parts confirms that the type of T. bolivari is ascribed to Angela guianensis Rehn, 1906 (Table 1), a widespread and frequently collected species throughout the Amazon basin, including localities in Colombia. Consequently, the now missing parts of the type specimen (i.e., the mesothorax, metathorax and abdomen), which were described and illustrated by Chopard (Fig. 2), almost certainly belong to another species, as they depart markedly in form from the anatomy of other Angela spp., including A. guianensis. For example, the cerci in T. bolivari were originally described and illustrated as cylindrical, rather than laminar, the latter a putative synapomorphy of Angela and a character of widespread use in identification keys (e.g. Terra, 1995). Similarly, the wings of T. bolivari were described as “hairy”, a condition not observed in Angela. Accordingly, it is highly likely that the specimen studied by Chopard was a composite specimen comprised of disarticulated body parts from two different species, one of which was A. guianensis (Table 1). This likely explains why the abdomen was markedly shorter than the pronotum. B) Although the posterior thorax and abdomen are now lost, the original description provides clues about the identity of the other species. The wings depicted by Chopard (Fig. 2) exhibit characteristics typical of members of the family Thespidae, such as the vein pattern, the elongated stigma on the forewing and the conspicuous pilosity on the wing surface. Similarly, the triangular supra-anal plate is another feature commonly observed in Thespidae (Fig. 2). Unfortunately, the actual identity of this part of the type cannot be determined based on the description alone, but judging from the metrics provided by Chopard, it likely corresponded to a species of comparable size, such as members of Musonia Saussure, 1869 or Pseudomusonia Werner, 1909. C) The distal margin of the type specimen’s pronotum contains a residue of glue, which provides additional (though circumstantial) evidence that, at one time, the anomalous posterior elements of the specimen were glued to the anterior elements. D) Chopard (1916) assigned Thespoides to the subfamily Miopteryginae, a lineage that today constitutes the family Thespidae. Interestingly, the name Thespoides was inspired from the apparent similarities between the proposed genus and Angela (the species of which were assigned to Thespis at the time of Chopard’s publication). Both Angela and Thespis are now considered valid and distinct genera. These two facts suggest that Chopard himself was confused by the dual nature of the specimen before him, without realizing that it was a composite of non-conspecific, disarticulated parts. Regardless, his classification was based on the thespid traits of the type. Under Article 73.1.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999) “ if the nominal species-group taxon is based on a single specimen, either so stated or implied in the original publication, that specimen is the holotype fixed by monotypy ”. Chopard described T. bolivari on the basis of a single specimen, citing it simply as the “type”. Chopard clearly considered the whole specimen as a single individual, therefore his procedure conforms to the ICZN and thus this specimen can be considered as the holotype. However, Article 73.1.5 states “ If a subsequent author finds that a holotype which consists of a set of components (e.g. disarticulated body parts) is not derived from an individual animal, the extraneous components may, by appropriate citation, be excluded from the holotype … ”. Thus, in agreement to Article 73.1.5 and to provide nomenclatural stability, the non-conspecific lost parts from the type of T. bolivari, already physically removed from the type, are removed from the description. In addition, Angela guianensis was described by Rehn (1906) ten years before Chopard’s Thespoides bolivari description, making it necessary to apply the “Principle of Priority” (ICZN Article 23.1). Accordingly, it is established that Thespoides bolivari as a new junior synonym of Angela guianensis. A summary of the taxonomy follows: Genus Angela Serville, 1839 = Thespoides Chopard, 1916 n. syn. Angela guianensis Rehn, 1906 = Thespis infuscata Chopard, 1911 = Thespoides bolivari Chopard, 1916 n. syn. In addition, the type of Thespis infuscata Chopard, 1911, also deposited at the MNCN was examined. This species is considered to be a junior synonym of A. guianensis by Giglio-Tos (1927), an action later accepted by Rehn (1935) that is herein corroborated. Because A. guianensis is a rather common species across the Amazon basin, further studies are needed to determine whether or not other synonyms remain to be discovered.Published as part of Rivera, Julio, 2014, On the identity and taxonomic status of the enigmatic mantid Thespoides bolivari Chopard, 1916 (Mantodea: Mantidae, Angelinae), pp. 269-273 in Zootaxa 3797 (1) on pages 269-272, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3797.1.16, http://zenodo.org/record/491546

Cult.Co. Diam. Angola 56: 37. Paraloxoblemmus angulifrons Chopard, 1967. Orth. Cat. 10: 131. The following description translated from Chopard (1951). The author provides the photos of type in NHMLA. This species is rather large in size. Coloration light brown, shiny. Head as wide as pronotum; occiput with 6 yellow short straight stripes, Frontorostrum very long, oblique ventrally, lateral margins straight, convergent, round at apex; a distinct ridge between vertex and rostrum. Face elongate, oblique, feebly concave in lateral aspect. Pronotum wider than long in mid line about 1.5: 1, very slightly wider near apex than at base; anterior margin slightly concave, posterior margin straight, dorsal surface of disc feebly convex, glabrous, light brown, median furrow with yellow stripe; lateral tear-drop markings yellow, fine hairy, covered with brown dots; lateral lobes of pronotum with ventral margin straight, anterior angle rounded, dorsally half brown, ventrally half yellow. Abdomen and cerci brown; subgenital plate large, apical portion with a small carina. Genitalia minute; epiphallus short, truncate at apex (in this respect it is similar to Gryllus domesticus), ventral parts rounded, extremely short, not exceeding the epiphallus in length. Legs brown, relatively short and robust, brown, covering with fine hairs. Fore tibia with large tympanum ovate in outer side, apex with 2 spines; tarsi short; metatarsus less than half the length of other segments, dorsal surface with 2 rows of spines. Middle legs similar to fore legs, longer than fore legs; middle tibia with 4 apical spurs. Hind tibia with long and strong spines, weakly movable, i/o= 7 / 8; ventral apical spurs very long; median spurs slightly longer than dorsal spur and reaching to half of metatarsus; armed with teeth i/o = 1 /7, 2 apical spurs. Tegmen reaching at abdominal segment V, round at apex; anal area very short; mirror oblique quadrate, with one short dividing vein; diagonal vein rather long, straight; chordal veins slightly curved inward, external pair parallel to one another; 2 oblique veins; apical portion very short, reduced to 2 rows of small cells. Wing absent. Specimen examined. 1 male, Repub. Peop. Congo: Lae, Likouala R. Nov. 1981; H. A. Regustens. (Fig 2) The specimen from Los Angeles County Museum was dissected for genitalic examination. (Fig. 2 D). Measurements (in mm): Body length: 26.0. Tegmen length: 10.0. Tegmen width: 10.0. Head length: 10.0. Head width: 6.0. Distance between antennae: 2.0. Distance between eyes: 2.5. Pronotum length: 11.0. Length of hind femora: 21.0. Width of hind femora: 5.0. Length of cerci: 20.0. Karny (1907) measurements as follows (in mm): Body length: 25.0. Frontorostrum: 5.0. Pronotum length: 4.0. Hind femur: 12.8. Hind tibia: 10.0. Tegmen: 7.6. This species seems to be related to Paraloxoblemmus loxoblemmoides Karny, from Sudan. It is different from in its larger size, frontorostrum much more rounded at apex and the tegmina shorter and more blunt. According to Karny (1907) the frontorostrum of Paraloxoblemmus loxoblemmoides is longer than this species (1.9–3.4 mm). Unfortunately, Karny (1907) did not note the condition of the hind tibia spur. Despite this, it seems to be related to Asiatic Loxoblemmus. Distribution.

B. Baroga-Barbecho (UPLBMNH and ZRC). Type details. One male and one female unspecific primary type (coll. C. Willemse) from Butuan City, Mindanao, Philippines. Remarks. The primary types from Butuan City (Mindanao Island) are not present in MNHN (based on MNHN online collection). But we have collected morphologically identical females from Siargao Island (~ 193 km away from Butuan). The females from Siargao and Luzon Islands are indistinguishable from each other and from the original description of the types from Mindanao. It should be noted that morphologically cryptic species can exist and that we should be cautious that the species from Luzon and Siargao Islands may well represent different species from the primary types in Mindanao. This species is closest to R. bipunctatus from Borneo by the colour patterns but differs by: tegmen without basal white spot but with a narrow transverse band at the base posterior of the apical margin of pronotum. Distribution. Philippines Archipelago: Laguna in Luzon Island; Siargao Island; Butuan in Mindanao Island Redescription. External morphology as described above. Female: Habitus similar to males. Supra-anal plate with tenth abdominal tergite broad trapezoidal, with a longitudinal furrow in the middle, epiproct rounded and setose along apical margins. Subgenital plate broader than long, with apex truncated and narrowly excised in the middle. Ovipositor short, barely reaching apex of cercus; basal half straight and apical half slightly curved dorsad; ventral and dorsal margins dentated; ventral valve surpassing dorsal valve, apex acute. Colouration: Males dark red, females black. Male with anterior of head (including scapus) black, with a white transverse stripe across the dorsum, including the eyes, dorsum posterior of the stripe red brown in male and black in female. Face black, with a transverse white spot between antennal scapus; with transverse pale band beneath eye and antennal cavity on each side. Palpus with segments red brown in male (probably discoloured) and white in female. Gena pale just beneath eyes, ventrally black. Pronotum dark red brown in male, black in female. Tegmen, with base white; when closed forms a white transverse stripe. Fore and middle femora and tibiae dark red to black; tarsi pale yellow. Hind femur generally white, with a thick black band just before middle and another thinner and in female, another less defined dark band at apical third; apex of hind femur, including knee brown. Hind tibia black, with brown spurs; hind tarsus brown. Thoracic and abdominal tergites and sternites black; cercus, in living specimens, pale or pale blue; tenth abdominal tergite black and epiproct white; subgenital plate pale with tint of red brown. Ovipositor pale basally, dark red brown thereafter.Published as part of Tan, Ming Kai, Baroga-Barbecho, Jessica B., Japir, Razy, Chung, Arthur Y.

Luzaropsis Chopard 1925
No full textLuzaropsis Chopard, 1925 (Figs 13, 14) Luzaropsis Chopard, 1925: 521. Type species. Luzara ferruginea Walker, 1869 Other species included. Luzaropsis confusa Chopard, 1969 n. erect., Luzaropsis henryi Chopard, 1928 and Luzaropsis omissa Gorochov, 2003 c. Luzaropsis mjöbergi Chopard, 1930 described for one female from Sarawak resembles these species by its legs (inner tympanum, TIII apical and subapical spurs), but has a subgenital plate which is short, transverse and with a straight apical margin: it certainly belongs to another genus, as suggested by Gorochov (2003 c, p. 725). Distribution. Sri Lanka. Diagnosis. Size medium, legs relatively short and (for PIII) thick, body and legs highly setose. Head flattened dorsally (Fig. 14 C). Eyes large, but not protruding (Fig. 14 A, B). Ocelli all wide; distance between the lateral ocelli almost equal or greater than the distance between one lateral and the median ocelli; median ocellus subapical. Fastigium nearly as wide as the scape. Scape slightly longer than wide. Maxillary palpi short; joint 4 longer than joint 3; joint 5 slightly shorter than joint 4, distinctly widened from its base and concave dorsally (Fig. 13 A, B). Pronotum transverse, but not particularly short; wider posteriorly, with raised antero-lateral angles (Fig. 14 A, B). FWs short and coriaceous in both males and females. TI with one inner, or two tympana, the outer smaller than the inner; two apical, ventral spurs. TII with four apical spurs, the inner ventral the longest, the outer dorsal the smallest. FIII short and thick, without a filiform apical part. TIII shorter than FIII, flat, wide and slightly furrowed dorsally; serrulation strong and regular through whole length, except near the knee; four pairs of short subapical spurs, the inners slightly longer than the outers and set slightly more distally than the outers; three pairs of apical spurs, all short, the median the longest on outer side (Fig. 13 C), the dorsal spur the longest on inner side (Fig. 13 D); TIII spurs not modified. Tarsomeres not elongated; hind basitarsomeres flattened dorsally, with two rows of thick spines. Colouration. Part of the cheeks and lateral lobes of the pronotum black brown; FW media vein yellow, prolonged in males on the dorsal disc of pronotum and behind the eyes (Fig. 14 C, D). Males. Metanotum not glandular (at least in the species devoid of a stridulum). FWs not reaching the distal margin of tergites 2 or 3, truncated apically. FWs of two different types, either slightly overlapping and with a venation similar to that of females (L. henryi, Fig. 13 E), or overlapping and with a reduced stridulatory apparatus (Fig. 13 G, file short, veins of the harp parallel to the chords and not clearly separated from them, no distinct mirror: L. ferruginea, L. confusa, L. omissa); lateral field with few longitudinal parallel veins, but either narrow and regularly narrowed toward apex (Fig. 13 F), or very wide basally and narrowed abruptly in distal fourth (Fig. 13 H). Tergites not glandular. Distal part of supra anal plate with thick margins bearing bunch of long setae in latero apical corners (Fig. 14 E, F). Subgenital plate short and truncate. Male genitalia. Pseudepiphallus comprising two different part, a dorsal transverse sclerite connected to the rami and a distal, median, elongate sclerite. Pseudepiphallic parameres long and high. Epi-ectophallic invagination very deep, without a sclerotized arc; ectophallic apodemes short; ectophallic fold long and narrow, originating from deep inside the genitalia, with a pair of ventral sclerites from which originates a pair of small apodemes. Dorsal cavity present, more or less regularly inflated. Endophallic sclerite transverse at the base of the dorsal cavity. Females. FW slightly overlapping over nearly their whole length; venation with thick, protruding, parallel, longitudinal veins, and faint transverse veinlets (Fig. 13 I, J). Subgenital plate transverse, distal margin deeply concave (Fig. 13 K). Ovipositor as long or, most often, longer than FIII; dorsal valves with a distinctive dorsal notch and ventral concavity before apex (Fig. 13 L). Female genitalia. Copulatory papilla short and flat, hardly sclerotized (Fig. 13 M); spermathecal duct widened before aperture. Remarks. The present-day Luzaropsis genus is clearly a homogeneous assemblage, which presents however a wide diversity for a large amount of characters. There are on one hand species with a wider head and pronotum (Fig. 14 B), with a stridulatory apparatus (Fig. 13 G) and a wide FW lateral field (Fig. 13 H) in males, and on the other hand, species with thinner head and pronotum (Fig. 14 A), no stridulum (Fig. 13 E) and a thinner lateral field (Fig. 13 F) in males. For male genitalia, some species have a pseudepiphallus which is clearly composed of two different sclerites (L. confusa, to a lesser extent L. henryi), while in L. ferruginea the two parts are almost continuous. Chopard (1969) correctly represented this variation in his Figures 155, 157, 158, which were misinterpreted by Gorochov (2003 c, p. 725): this invalidates the synonymy proposed by Gorochov (2003 c) between L. ferruginea and L. confusa, which differ thus by their genitalia, colouration, venation and size. Traditionally classified within Phalangopsidae crickets, Luzaropsis presents a whole panel of characters, which cast some doubt on its familial affinity. This is most particularly the case of its male genitalia, which share some characters with Gryllomorpha Fieber, 1853 (two-part pseudepiphallus, ectophallic fold, dorsal cavity and endophallus). This problem will be further addressed in a forthcoming paper (Desutter-Grandcolas in prep.). Habitat. Unknown.Published as part of Desutter-Grandcolas, Laure & Jaiswara, Ranjana, 2012, Phalangopsidae crickets from the Indian Region (Orthoptera, Grylloidea), with the descriptions of new taxa, diagnoses for genera, and a key to Indian genera, pp. 1-39 in Zootaxa 3444 on pages 31-34, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20904
