No full textOver 15–16 February 2025, Toshihiko Ishihara and Stephen Osborne co-ordinated an international research workshop
at the Osaka campus of Kwansei Gakuin University, with three invited Italian speakers—Greta Nasi, Maria Cucciniello,
and Carmine Bianchi. This short article draws out the key lessons of their presentations, together with the keynote
presentation of Stephen Osborne, to explore the import of place-based public service ecosystems (PSEs) for the
performance of public services

Onukigallia Ishihara
No full textGenus Onukigallia Ishihara Onukigallia Ishihara 1955: 215, 217. Type-species: Agallia onukii Matsumura, by original designation. Morphology. Vertex distinctly narrower in middle than next to eyes, not sinuately produced behind eyes. Ocelli closer to eyes than to each other. Pronotum with distinct punctures. Veins especially those on clavus conspicuously elevated, distinct, inner claval vein strongly curved, three anteapical and four apical cells, inner anteapical cell either closed or open behind. Forefemora with intercalary setae forming an arcuate row, row AV with one stout long seta in proximal half. Hind femoral macrosetae 2+1; hind tibial macrosetae PD 10±2, AD 8±1, AV8±1; hind basitarsus with two platellae on distal transverse row. Male genitalia. Pygofer simple, often with filamentous setae on lateral surface. Subgenital plates covered with long filamentous setae on both upper and lower surface in addition to ventral uniseriate stout setae. Styles with inner arm longer than outer arm, with subapical tooth. Connective broadest in middle, strongly narrowed caudally, longer than broad. Aedeagus long, recurved, without processes; preatrium and dorsal apodeme often well developed. Anal collar process well developed. Remarks. Onukigallia closely resembles Agallia as both share stout setae on the male subgenital plates. However, the former differs from the latter in having hair-like setae on the male pygofer and subgenital plates and in the structure of the aedegus and subgenital plates. It also closely resembles Formallia from which it differs in possessing setae both dorsally and ventrally on the subgenital plates and also in the shape of the caudal lobe of the male pygofer.

Hishimonus Ishihara
No full textHishimonus Ishihara Hishimonus Ishihara 1953: 10. Type species: Thamnotettix sellata Uhler, by original designation. Description. (Modified from Knight 1970 a and Dai et al. 2013) Small leafhoppers, 3.0–4.0 mm long, yellow in colour, sometimes marked with brown, legs and venter stramineous, forewings silvery white with dark brown mottling and large brown semicircular spot against midlength of commissural margin forming, when wings at rest, conspicuous circular or diamond shaped spot with that of opposite wing (henceforth called median spot). Head as broad as pronotum or broader, slightly longer medially than next to eye with anterior margin broadly rounded; narrowly rounded to face; frontoclypeus longer than wide; clypeal sulcus distinct; clypellus elongate with sides parallel over basal 0.66, slightly expanded at apex; genal margins concave beneath eyes; ocelli on anterior margin, contiguous with eyes or separated by a distance less than own diameter; a shallow transverse furrow on vertex between ocelli; vertex posterior to furrow glabrous, face and vertex anterior to furrow shagreened. Pronotum approximately twice length of vertex, sides short, posterior margin transverse or shallowly concave; surface glabrous, transversely and feebly striate. Scutum and scutellum together shorter than pronotum. Forewings with claval veins joined by cross vein at midlength; inner subapical cell open basally, outer subapical cell elongate with ends transverse; appendix small. Fore femur with setal arrangement as follows: 2 AD at apex, well developed AM1, 9– 13 IC, 6–8 PV and 12–13 short AV. Fore tibia with 1 + 4 (AD+PD) setae. Hind femoral apical setal formula 2 + 2 + 1. Male pygofer acutely rounded posteriorly, with stout setae over posterior half, without processes; dorsal surface approximately 0.33 of total length. Subgenital plate tapering posteriorly to membranous fingerlike process (except H. indicus and H. viraktamathi), uniseriate row of stout setae laterally, becoming multiseriate basally, with a more lateral row of long filamentous setae over apical half. Connective Y-shaped with stem long or short. Styles terminating in posteriorly directed fingerlike process, subapical lobe present. Aedeagus with two dorsally directed shafts each with gonopore near apex, with or without basal processes. Female with gonocoxa I usually broader than width of first pair of valvulae at base. Sculpturing of first pair of valvulae imbricate and reaching dorsal margin. Teeth on second pair of valvulae in apical 0.33 length, without dorsal median tooth. Remarks. Hishimonus differs from Hishimonoides, Litura and Naevus Knight with which it is closely related in possessing neither preatrial processes of the aedeagus (sometimes referred to as paraphyses) nor with a ventrally extended preatriumwithout process. Some species of Hishimonus, such as H. indicus (Sohi) and H. viraktamathi Knight, have basal processes to the aedeagus, which resemble the preatrial process of Litura and their assignment to this genus is only provisional. The following key will separate the four genera under discussion.Published as part of Viraktamath, C. A. & Anantha Murthy, H.

No full textOne disorder that occurs in the eye is color blind. Color blindness is a condition in which a person can not distinguish certain colors that can be distinguished by people with normal eye. The development of Medical Science progress is color blind test using Ishihara book. Color Blind Test current is needed for the world of industry, education, and government. It is caused by human dependence in work or education closely related to color. Not only that, the use of paper that is easily torn and color fading when the long-unused makes testing no longer be perfect. For that reason the author makes the Color Blind Test applications that run on smartphone Android. Selection of the Android operating system because the operating system is open source. The author makes an application Color Blind Test this by referring to the book Dr. Shinobu Ishihara, so the rule is in use in accordance with the procedure
Modified Ishihara test to study the role of edges in color discrimination
No full textThis paper describes an experiment based on a modified version of the classic Ishihara Test for the evaluation of the degree and type of colorblindness.
This work originates from the following observations: commonly used tests for color blindness assessment use color patterns without generating edges between the colors to discriminate. Furthermore, in normal sighted people, edges have a very important role in the generation of the chromatic sensation. For this purpose we created an alternative set of Ishihara plates in which we expand colored blobs until they touch each other, generating an edge.
We have developed a mobile application for the execution of the test and a database for storing the data. Preliminary results are here presented

Lu Lin; 1 male, Yingjiang County, Zhanxi Town, 1009m, 02.VI. 2011, coll. Lu Lin, at light. Remarks. An adequate description of this species was given by Ghauri (1971). But some variation occurs as follows. Crown and forewing with or without black markings (Plate II: A–F). Pygofer side usually distodorsal corner round, distoventral corner pointed, spine 1 long, spine 2 and others absent (Fig. 8 B), but much variation is found (Figs. 6–9); style usually as in Fig. 10 C, apophysis of style is always shorter, but its shape varies (Figs. 10– 11); aedeagal shaft usually as in Figs. 12 B, 13 B, but much variation is found (Figs. 12 A–F, 13 A–I), the paired median lateral processes of aedeagal shaft short (Figs. 12 A–F, 13 A–I), but the relative length of the shaft and the shape of median lateral process varies, and the number of aedeagal spines also varies usually from 3–5 (Figs. 12 A– F, 13 A–I). The nearly round crown of both males and females make this species very distinct (Plate II: A–F). PLATE II. Nephotettix malayanus Ishihara & Kawase.
