Type depository: NMNST. Eutetrapha lini; Lin, 2015: 276, figs. 1859432–434. Description. Male: length: 13.2–14.0 mm, humeral width: 4.2–4.4 mm. Female: length: 13.8–16.0 mm, humeral width: 4.7–5.3 mm. Details refer to Chou et al. (2010). Diagnosis. This species differs from Paraglenea spp. by male with only anterior claws of pro- and mesotarsi appendiculate, remainders all simple (all male claws in Paraglenea appendiculate). It is similar to Eutetrapha chrysochloris (Bates, 1879), but can be distinguished by metallic blue to purple blue scales, larger and sparser elytral punctures, almost rounded black arc on apical half of elytra, hardly visible elytral apical tooth at the outer angle, etc., and on genitalia distinguished by stouter lateral lobes of tegmen, nearly rounded apex of ventral plate etc. Remarks. Eutetrapha lini is a nocturnal species, being attracted by light trap. We believe it is probably monophagous (Chou et al. 2010). Distribution. China: Taiwan.

No full textMetipocregyes wenhsini (Yamasako & Chou, 2013), comb. nov. (Figs 13–16, 35–36, 75–81) Hypocacia wenhsini Yamasako & Chou, 2013: 97. Hypocacia sp. 2: Chou, 2004: 376; 2008: 376. Type locality. Shouka, Shihzih Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan. Type material examined. Holotype: ♀ (NMNS, Figs 13–14, 35, 75–91), Shouka, Shihzih Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan, 7. VII, 1999, W.- H. Lin leg. Paratype: 1♀ (CJY, Figs 15–16, 36), same locality as the holotype, 8. V, 2012, W.- I Chou leg. Diagnosis. Body relatively large, LB = 17.0 mm (male), 14.0–19.0 mm (female) (Yamasako & Chou, 2013), mainly clothed with yellowish ochre pubescence, scattered with small black spots. Antennomeres III and IV with tuft of black hairs at each apex, but the one on antennomere IV sometimes reduced. Elytra with transverse band of yellowish ochre pubescence at middle and transverse narrow black bands before and behind ochre one. Similar to M. fruhstorferi, but easily distinguishable from the latter by having more rotund body with yellowish pubescence. Distribution. Taiwan (Pingtung). Remarks. Although this species was described in the genus Hypocacia by Yamasako & Chou (2013), it is congeneric with Metipocregyes and very closely related to M. fruhstorferi. Therefore, this species is transferred to Metipocregyes. The detailed description of this species was provided and figured in Yamasako & Chou (2013).Published as part of Yamasako, Junsuke & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2018, Review of the genus Metipocregyes Breuning, 1939 with two new combinations and three new species (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Mesosini), pp. 503-522 in Zootaxa 4532 (4) on pages 511-512, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4532.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/261560

It was found near locations 1- 4, 7, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 21 (Fig. 1).</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> We name it <i>secundus</i> (meaning second in Latin), as it was the second unnamed taxon found in Taiwan and initially mentioned under the name <i>Myotis</i> sp. 2 (Chou 2004; Lin <i>et al.</i> 2004; Cheng <i>et al.</i> 2010; Ruedi <i>et al.</i> 2013). In the photographic guide to the bats of Taiwan (Cheng <i>et al.</i> 2010), it was illustrated under the vernacular name of Long-toed Myotis, although this attribute is not particularly developed in this species.</p> <p> <b>Measurements of the holotype.</b> Measurements are in mm. Head and body length, 37; tail length, 41; forearm length, 35.7; hind foot length (including claw), 7.1; tibia length, 17.5; thumb length, 6.6; ear length, 12.8; tragus length, 6.2; greatest skull length, including incisors, 14.1; greatest zygomatic breadth, 8.4; postorbital breadth, 3.3; mastoid breadth, 6.7; greatest braincase width, 6.3; upper canine-molar toothrow, 5.4; width across upper canines, 3.4; width across 3rd upper molars, 5.6.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Small-sized <i>Myotis</i> (weight 3–5 g) with dark brown pelage color, slightly lighter ventrally, without demarcation between dorsal and ventral sides. Face and ears dark brown becoming more flesh-colored near the base of ears and above the eyes. Wing membranes attached to base of outer toe. Feet about half tibia length. Tail approximately same length as head and body length. Ears relatively long and narrow with a slight notch on the proximal third of the rear edge of conch. Tragus elongated and narrow, reaching the ear notch. Skull profile slender and relatively angular, with nearly flat braincase apex and abruptly falling posterior parts (Fig. 6 a); frontal part of braincase gently rising from rostrum to the top. Anterior part of the rostrum narrow and convergent. Teeth relatively robust with upper premolars aligned in toothrow and all visible in side view (Figs. 4d, 6a). The second upper and lower premolars are distinctly smaller than corresponding first premolars. Canines relatively strong, slightly larger than premolars. All lower molars are myotodont.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> This small <i>Myotis</i> has a long, shaggy and very dark brown pelage, with a tinge of lighter brown color at hair tips, giving a frosted appearance to its fur (unlike e.g., <i>M. yanbarensis</i>). The underparts are lighter, buffier, also with pale brown hair tips. The face is densely haired, with a small bare part located above the eyes (Cheng <i>et al.</i> 2010). The patagium is essentially naked and dark brown, with wing membrane attaching to the base of outer toe. The ears are relatively long and narrow, with a small but distinct notch. The tragus is narrow, straight, slightly bent forward close to the tip; it extends to about a third of the distance to the tip of ear. Feet (about 7–9 mm, including claw) and thumbs are slender, both with sparse guard hairs and slender claws. The tibia is long (16–17.7 mm). Tail (about 40 mm) is as long as head and body length.</p> <p> When viewed in profile (Figs. 4d, 6a), the braincase of the skull has gently rising frontal parts, and is nearly flat on its summit; the occipital region is rounded, smooth with no visible crests. The frontal part of the rostrum is narrow and, in front of the canines, is convergent. Mean and range of external and skull measurements of <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> from Taiwan are given in Table 4.</p> <p>Dental formula I 2 /3 C 1/1 PM 3/3 M 3/3, comprising the adult dentition of 38 teeth. The teeth are not particularly weak, although the canines (both upper and lower) are only slightly higher than the corresponding last premolars (Figs. 4d, 6a). The second incisor is clearly smaller than the first (in lateral view), although in occlusal view both are of similar basal dimensions. All premolars are in the toothrow and visible in lateral view, but the second one (both upper and lower) is much smaller than the first one (Fig. 4d). The third upper premolar has a distinct paraconule. Lower molars are all myotodont.</p> <p> <b>Comparisons.</b> In recent taxonomic accounts (e.g., Corbet & Hill 1992, Simmons 2005), a single small species of Myotinae was found on Taiwan and was called <i>Myotis muricola latirostris</i> (see above for its current taxonomic position). However, since 2004, bat surveys showed that a second small (weight 3–5 g), relatively common <i>Myotis</i> species, that was not fitting the characteristics of <i>latirostris,</i> was living in various habitats of the island. It was referred subsequently as <i>Myotis</i> sp. 2, and hence named here <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> Although both species are indeed small and have a dark, almost black dorsal pelage, the new species is easily distinguished from <i>S. latirostris</i> by its larger external dimensions such as thumb or tibia length, or by mostly larger skull dimensions as well (Table 4). <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> has myotodont lower molars, whereas they are nyctalodont in <i>S. latirostris</i>. This character also distinguishes the new species from other small, blackish <i>Myotis</i> from continental Asia pertaining to the <i>siligorensis</i> group, such as <i>M. siligorensis</i>, <i>M. badius</i>, <i>M. alticraniatus</i>, etc. (see Tiunov <i>et al.</i> 2011). Another small <i>Myotis</i> living in south-east China and described originally as <i>M. sowerbyi</i> (Howell 1926), is also very similar to <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> (similar external dimensions, wing insertion to the base of the toes, myotodont lower molars), but is clove-brown, not blackish, has much more slender upper (Fig. 8 b) and lower canines, has a first lower premolar nearly as large as the canine (it is only half its size in <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b>, Fig. 4d), and in skull profile it has a more inflated and elevated braincase and rostrum (Fig. 6 b). <i>M. davidii</i> is also a small myotodont species, but has the upper premolars crowded, the second being completely displaced lingually from toothrow and is now considered as belonging to the <i>mystacinus</i> morpho-group (see illustrations in Benda <i>et al.</i> 2012). Compared to the closest relatives of <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> in phylogenetic analyses (Clade VIII in figure 3), <i>M. pruinosus</i> has a less elevated frontal part of skull and relatively flat braincase (Fig. 6 c), whereas the skull of <i>M. yanbarensis</i> (known from Okinawa, Japan) is characterized by a longer rostrum, more globose braincase (Fig. 6 d) and is larger (e.g., CBL over 14 mm,) than <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> (CBL about 13 mm). Furthermore, the tibia is particularly long in <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> (about 17 mm), unlike in related <i>M. pruinosus</i> from Japan (13 mm). The tail of <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> is nearly as long as head and body length, whereas it is distinctly longer in <i>M. yanbarensis</i>.</p> <p> <b>Phylogenetic relationships.</b> The complete (1140 bp) Cyt <i>b</i> gene of the holotype and paratypes of <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> are all similar (with less than 1% K2P distance) and diverge by at least 10.5% K2P distance from their closest relative, <i>M. yanbarensis</i> (Fig. 3) and by at least 20% for any other sympatric <i>Myotis</i> from Taiwan (Table 5). In a more general phylogenetic context, <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> (named <i>Myotis</i> sp. 2 in Ruedi <i>et al.</i> 2013) is part of the strongly supported Clade VIII within the Myotinae radiation, together with <i>M. yanbarensis</i>, <i>M. pruinosus</i>, and representatives of the <i>M. montivagus</i> species complex. It also differs notably from species of the <i>mystacinus</i> morpho-group that appear in Clade VI (Fig. 3 and Ruedi <i>et al.</i> 2013).</p> <p> <b>Natural history.</b> <i>M. secundus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> is essentially a forest-dwelling species, but we observed breeding females also occupying small holes or chinks in caves. It is common both in the lowlands and higher mountains, suggesting that this species may have a relatively broad ecological niche. It was found in sympatry with <i>S. latirostris</i> in the higher elevations. Lactating females were observed from May to July, while males with enlarged testis were recorded from August to March.</p>Published as part of <i>Ruedi, Manuel, Csorba, Gábor, Lin, Liang- Kong & Chou, Cheng-Han, 2015, Molecular phylogeny and morphological revision of Myotis bats (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from Taiwan and adjacent China, pp. 301-342 in Zootaxa 3920 (1)</i> on pages 324-327, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3920.2.6, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/287922">http://zenodo.org/record/287922</a>
An Analysis of <i>Judge Lin</i>
No full textBiography of Lin Wen Zhong Gong has another way to call, that is Judge Lin. The leading character is Lin Ze-Xu. This book is based on functionary experience of Lin Ze-Xu, with the captivating plots of court case, helping by highly skilled military attach\uc3\ua9s and chivalrous knights, and the history facts of Opium War. It makes Lin Ze-Xu\ue2s Confucian temperament and tragic mood more, also contrasts with author\ue2s sorrow and furiousness for the politics at the time. History, court case, martial arts\ue2\ua6\ue2\ua6etc. are essence of this book and it broadens the way of this writing style.
The topic of the thesis is \ue2An Analysis of Judge Lin\ue2. The following thesis will be divided into six different chapters. The introduction is Chapter one of the thesis, which is including researching motive and purpose, literature review of predecessors, researching version by existing information, raising questions, choosing research methods and arranging chapters. In chapter Two, I discuss the study of characters of Lin Ze-Xu, also makes a deep analysis of author\u27s purpose of writing him. In chapter Three, I analyze supporting actors and actress. Meanwhile, I illustrate author\u27s purpose of writing supporting actress because the author had different manner to describe supporting actress. Moving to the Chapter Four, I mainly focus on the plots of Judge Lin, and organize cases of Lin Ze-Xu and his subordinates to understand features of cases. In Chapter Five, I represent the causes of Opium War. China and England had difference of opinions of opium. Therefore, it is easier to comprehend what the author\u27s purpose is. In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and confirm particularity of Judge Lin
