Two eighteenth-century English adaptations of the Celestina : Celestina: or the Spanish bawd : a tragi-comedy; and the Bawd of Madrid.
No full textPhDThe introductory chapter discusses previous studies of Celestina
imitations and adaptations, and the position of early Celestinesque
works in Spanish literature. I then move further afield to investigate
the diffusion of the Celestina in the rest of Europe, especially in
England. Chapter II comments on the general influence of Spain on
English literature with particular reference to the two eighteenth-century
adaptations of the Celestina. Chapter III suggests some
implications of the simultaneous appearance of these two adaptations.
Chapters IV-VI are devoted to a closer examination of the dramatic
adaptation, A Tragi-Comedy; an investigation into its sources, and
the manner in which it remodels its original for the stages culminates
in a discussion of the adapters' identity. Chapters VII-IX deal with
The Bawd of Madrid; a biographical sketch of its author, Captain
Stevens, is followed by a discussion of which version of the Celestina
he used and of the sources for the description of Madrid in his first
chapter. Chapter IX looks at the way he reworks the Spanish Tragi-comedia
into a narrative account. I bring together in Chapter X
elements from both adaptations for purposes of comparison. The final
chapter shows the similarities between the fictional world of the
Celestina and the environment of early eighteenth-century London, and
I suggest why these English adaptations may have been particularly
apposite at this time

Etymology. The name honors Salvador Luis de La Torre who devoted his life to the study of Cuban Lepidoptera and described several native Calisto taxa. Diagnosis. Calisto torrei is superficially most similar to Calisto bradleyi Munroe 1950, Calisto muripetens Bates 1939 and Calisto occulta Núñez 2012. From the first, it differs by its larger average size: forewing length (FWL) 3 (Mean ±SD) = 21.3 ±1.0 mm, N= 10 Ƥ FWL= 23.2 ±1.0, N= 6 versus 3 FWL= 19.3 ± 0.8 mm, N= 15, Ƥ FWL= 19.4 ± 1.1 MM, N= 15. Calisto torrei also differs by the presence of an apical rounded lobe on androconial patch and the lack of a small bar of iridescent blue scales at underside of anal lobe that is present in C. bradleyi. From C. muripetens and C. occulta, C.torrei differs by having the anterior margin of androconial patch located behind the posterior margin of cell instead ahead, so its overall shape is slender Calisto torrei has also a smaller area of the cell, about 33–40 %, covered by red scales whereas in C. muripetens and C. occulta this area is 50–66 %. Internally, C. bradleyi female genitalia of is proportionally smaller and its dorsal crown is very thin compared to that of C. torrei. Description. Forewing length 3 19.7 –23.0 mm, Ƥ 21.2–24.3 mm. Dorsal surface of wings brown, uniform in both sexes; male androconial patch darker than background, almost black, anterior margin behind posterior margin of cell, overall shape as an obtuse slender triangle due to oblique outer margin (Figures 1, 3, 23). Ventral wing surface brown with darker lines, background slightly paler distal of post discal line; forewing ocellus with two bluish white iridescent pupils, post discal line externally edged with pale yellow scaling at ocellus area; cell colored red at the middle half to two thirds, both base and apex brown-colored as surrounding background; hindwing background mixed with pale yellow and ochre scales basal to post discal line which is externally edge by pale yellow scaling, heavier around ocellus; post discal area splashed with pale yellow and lilac scales and three white dots at vein interspaces M 1 –M 2, M 2 –M 3 and M 3 –Cu 1, central dot of row distinctly larger than others; both subterminal lines slightly rust-colored near apex (Figures 2, 4, 17, 18). Male genitalia with tegumen about two thirds the length of uncus, flat and rounded at posterior half; uncus slightly arched and gradually tapering toward apex; digitiform projection of valvae stout, slightly curved to straight at both margins; aedeagus sinuate with an almost indistinct left curve at basal and a pronounced right curve at middle of apical half (Figure 26). Female genitalia with dorsal crown tall, height about 0.4 x width; corpus bursae about the same length of ductus bursae (Figure 29). Distribution. Calisto torrei has been collected in few localities on both sections of the Guamuhaya massif (Alturas de Banao and Alturas de Trinidad), the major mountain range of central Cuba (Figures 33, 34). Biology. Collecting sites are at low to moderate elevations (450–1140 m). Habitats include broad leaf evergreen forest, rainforest, and mogotes' (limestome hills) vegetation complex (Figures 37–40). Individuals have been observed taking nectar on Palicourea domingensis (Rubiaceae). On May 13 th 2012 a captive female laid two pale yellow eggs glued to the walls of a plastic container. After 24 hours, egg color turned beige with tiny orange brown spots. A single larva hatched 7 days after oviposition and ate the entire corion. First instar (Figure 41) — Head width 0.72 mm, height 0.70 mm. Initial length 3.50 mm, final length 4.9 mm. Head dark brown, almost black; body pale beige with 7 thin reddish brown longitudinal lines. After feeding on grass, the background turned pale green. First molt occurred after 7 days. Second to fifth instars (Figures 42–47) After first molt, the coloration of larva changed to a new pattern that persisted through subsequent instars with the only variation being a gradual darkening toward final instar. Head width, height, final length and duration of second to fifth instars were: 0.93, 0.98, 8.5 mm, and 7 days at the 2 nd, l. 30, 1.33, 12 mm, and 9 days at the 3 rd, 1.85, 1.95, 17 mm, and 11 days at the 4 th, and 2.58, 2.82, 25 mm, and 15 days at the 5 th, respectively. Head background pale grayish brown with the following dark brown, almost black, marks: lateral vertical lines from stemmata to horns continue to meet at middle of top of head; X shaped mark with upper arms short, almost indistinct on the epicranium; a transverse band across the frontoclypeus interrupted at the middle of frons. Body background stramineous with an increasing ochre tint toward final instar; dorsal line pale brown with dots on sides at the middle of each segment; other lines only slightly darker than background and gradually fading toward last abdominal segment; subdorsal lines in zig zag with angles closest to dorsal line at the beginning and end of each segment; suprastigmatal line the thickest one, straight, darkened forming dots over spiracles; stigmatal and infrastigmatal lines thinner, convex between spiracles. After it stopped feeding, the mature larva remained straight for 2 days, emptied its digestive tract, wove a thin silk thread and hung head down, in J position, and pupated one day later. Pupa (Figures 48–50) — Length 12 mm, maximum width 4.8 mm. Background pale brownish gray, darker at sides of abdomen; a pair of ventral black dots on eyes and another pair at apex of metathoracic tibiae; diffuse orange coloration at the base of labial palpi and at sides of antennae tips; a row of tiny dark brown dots on veins near wing outer margin; wing sheaths with a darker diffuse spot at the middle and another darker near costa at apical third; abdomen with a dark brown line on sides, abdomen with dorsal transverse ridges reduced to a pairs of small crests on segments 1 to 6; last abdominal segment long, stout, cremaster area enlarged, broad and slightly flattened. The adult emerged in the afternoon, 3 to 4:00 pm, of August 10 th after 11 days. Total developing time was 93 days. The natural host plant is unknown. Remarks. Calisto torrei represents one of the “orphan” lineages found in the molecular results of Núñez et al. (2012), where it was represented by the specimen coded as PM07- 11. Following this lead, the new taxon was discovered after reviewing the available collections, the field collection of more individuals including immature stages, and the sequencing of more specimens. It was confused with sympatric Calisto muripetens Bates by Fontenla & Rodríguez (1990) and Núñez et al. (2012). DNA analysis showed genetic distances of 5.0 and 8.5 % from sympatric C. muripetens and C. aquilum (a new species described below), respectively. Close relatives, C. bradleyi and C. occulta, are separated by 4.8 % and 5.0% and have their populations more than 300 and 450 km away, respectively. Intraspecific variation was 0.15 % for C. torrei (4 specimens, 4 localities), 0% for both C. bradleyi (3 specimens, 1 locality) and C. muripetens (3 specimens, 3 localities), and 0.82 % for C. occulta (5 specimens, 2 localities). Immature stages also showed diagnostic features for C. torrei. Element patterns of larval head and body exhibit a unique configuration when compared with larvae of other Cuban Calisto including those of Calisto bruneri Michener 1949, C. muripetens and C. bradleyi that will be described in a future article. Similarly the pupa shows a characteristic grayish ochre background different from that of C. occulta, which is yellower, although it exhibits a comparable spot pattern.Published as part of Aguila, Rayner Núñez, Matos- Maraví, Pável F. & Wahlberg, Niklas, 2013, New Calisto species from Cuba, with insights on the relationships of Cuban and Bahamian taxa (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae), pp. 503-521 in Zootaxa 3669 (4) on pages 504-506, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3669.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/24942

No full textMacrophages are becoming increasingly recognized as key cellular players in intestinal immune homeostasis. However, differentiating between macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) is often difficult, and finding a specific phenotypic signature for intestinal macrophage identification has remained elusive. In this issue of the European Journal of Immunology, Tamoutounour et al. [Eur. J. Immunol. 2012. 42: 3150-3166] identify CD64 as a specific macrophage marker that can be used to discriminate DCs from macrophages in the murine small and large intestine, under both steady-state and inflammatory conditions. The authors also propose a sequential 'monocyte-waterfall' model for intestinal macrophage differentiation, with implications for immune tolerance and inflammation at the gut mucosal interface. This Commentary will discuss the advantages and potential limitations of CD64 as a marker for intestinal macrophages.DP2 2009A054301/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesDP2 OD006512/OD/NIH HHS/United StatesP30 AI060354/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/United State
Calisto bahoruco Perez
No full textCalisto bahoruco Pérez –Asso, Núñez & Genaro, new species Figures 1–6, 9–10 Diagnosis. Calisto bahoruco n. sp. requires comparison with its closest relative C. hysius. Both have a similar color pattern but differ in several characters. Average FWL is smaller in C. bahoruco, 15 mm in males (n=5) and 16.8 mm females (n=5), than in C. hysius, 16.5 mm in males (n=7), 18.3 mm in females (n=4). Ocelli are distinctly larger in C. bahoruco with a median of the ratio ocellus largest diameter/wing length of 0.20 at FW and 0.18 at HW. Values in C. hysius are 0.17 and 0.14 at FW and HW respectively. Wing pattern of C. bahoruco shows a darker background on the under surface, the discal of the HW is straighter and smooth, the overall pale scaling on the distal edge of lines is much more contrasting compared to the equivalent in C. hysius which shows a paler ground colour, less contrasting distal edges of lines and the discal line more irregular than that in C. bahoruco. Genitalia are very similar in both sexes, however, the tegumen of C. hysius male broadly protrudes backwards compared to that of C. bahoruco (Figs. 13, 14), and in addition the male structure of the latter is notably more sclerotized (Fig. 13). The minimum pairwise K2P genetic distance among C. bahoruco n. sp. and a representative of the hysius group is to C. hysius, 2.3%, with intraspecific genetic distances averaging 0.14 and 0.05% respectively (Table 2). Comparison of COI barcodes belonging to both species showed C. hysius has a cytosine at positions 187 and 517, characters absent from any other hysius group member including C. bahoruco n. sp. (Table 3). The barcode of the latter species bears a thymine at position 220 whereas C. hysius possesses cytosine. However, this character is not exclusive since it is present in two sequences of C. batesi, all remaining 207 analyzed sequences bear a cytosine in that position. Additional non exclusive nucleotide positions distinguishing the COI barcodes of both species are mentioned in the Species delimitation methods section. Description. Male (Figs 1–4): FWL 14.2–16.2 mm. Upper surface blackish brown, FW with triangular androconial patch from base to the cell on the area below the latter. Underside dark brown, paler beyond the post discal line on the FW. Discal cell with a red spot outwardly edged by a transverse blackish brown line. FW post discal line with a narrow pale yellow band on its outer edge. FW ocellus moderately large, circular, with two white pupils and edged below by a red spot. HW dark brown, background color formed by a mix of dark brown and pale yellow scales. HW discal line moderately straight outwardly edged by a narrow but distinctive band of white scales. HW ocellus elliptical, with a single basal white pupil and a trace of white scales along its larger axis; area around external ring rusty colored. Area above ocellus with four tiny white dots being the one at Sc–Rs interspace the smaller. Post discal and subterminal lines edged by pale yellow contrasting scales on the outer and inner sides respectively. Genitalia (Fig. 13). As illustrated. Female (Figs 5, 6): FWL 15.7–17.9 mm. Similar to male except: Upperside of wings brown, outer half of wings paler. Outer third of the four wings with a rusty spot at central position. Genitalia (Fig. 15). As illustrated. HOLOTYPE. Male.
