Acylophorus rufipennis Cameron
No full textAcylophorus rufipennis Cameron Acylophorus rufipennis Cameron, 1959: 117; Herman, 2001: 3037. Cameron described this species in a posthumous publication from two specimens collected by A. Machado from the River Luachimo in Angola. The description is not detailed enough to recognise the species without examination of type material. Two specimens collected from Angola and labelled as types of A. rufipennis are present in the Cameron collection at the BMNH, but the locality on the labels does not match the type locality and they differ markedly in colour and eye size from the description given by Cameron. No matching specimens from Angola can be found in his collection. The two specimens labelled as types are in fact a pale colour form of A. salifi. The true identity of Cameron’s species will remain a matter of speculation, unless the original type material is located. The name is therefore considered to be a nomen dubium.Published as part of Lott, Derek A., 2010, The species of Acylophorus Nordmann (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) in continental sub-Saharan Africa, pp. 1-51 in Zootaxa 2402 on page 45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27590

No full textAcylophorus congoensis Cameron (Figs 14, 42, 64, 90, 123) Acylophorus congoensis Cameron, 1932: 134; Scheerpeltz, 1933: 1466; Bernhauer & Paulian, 1942: 364; Cameron, 1950: 43; Herman, 2001: 3027. Redescription. Length 7 –7.5mm. Body black. Pronotum and less frequently elytra dark brown. Abdomen with very weak iridescence. Legs, antennae and palpi reddish brown, antennae and femora sometimes darkened. Maxillary palpi pale with darker terminal segment. Head rounded, large (pronotum 1.6x wider than head), as wide as long with rounded but evident temples behind somewhat large eyes, produced in front of antennal insertion, covered with sparse micro-punctures (Fig. 14). Short dense pubescence behind eyes. Two pairs of short and pale interocular setae arising from foveate punctures much closer to eyes than each other. A line of four postocular setae visible from above on each side. No additional seta on hind margin of eye. Right mandible with large medial tooth in front of flange, no teeth on left mandible (Fig. 42). Maxillary palpi with terminal segment pubescent, more rounded on outer margin than inner margin and asymmetric, longer than glabrous penultimate segment which is triangular (Fig. 64). First segment of antenna as long as next five. Segments I to V elongate, VIII to XI transverse (Fig. 90). Pronotum relatively narrow with sides less rounded, almost quadrate (1.05x wider than long) and widest toward basal half, covered with sparse micro-punctures. Dorsal, lateral and marginal setae relatively short. Elytra transverse (1.5x wider than long) with short, pale pubescence that is not shining arising from fine, dense asperate punctures. Apical fringe of bristles rather short, not much longer than hairs on rest of elytra. Abdominal tergites with short, sparse pubescence, barely overlapping in centre of tergite III, though longer on apical tergites. Paramere bilobed and divergent, twisted round side margin of median lobe, which is flattened and broadly incised at apex (Fig. 123). Pegs confusedly arranged at apex of each lobe. Type material. Cameron described the species from specimens collected by A. Collart on 10 th December 1928 at Blukwa (Nizi) in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Two syntypes have been located and one of these is here designated as the lectotype in order to fix the identity of the species. Lectotype Ƥ: “ TYPE / Blukwa; 10 -XII- 28; A. Collart / Acylophorus congoensis Cam. TYPE / LECTOTYPE Acylophorus congoensis Cameron Ƥ det. DA Lott” (IRSNB). Paralectotype Ƥ: “ Paratype / Blukwa; 10 -XII- 28; A. Collart / M.

I have seen specimens from Congo, Tanzania and SE Sudan (Fig. 143). Further records in the literature from Cameroon (Bernhauer & Paulian, 1942) and Congo (Cameron, 1950) must be open to question, given the frequency of misidentifications of African Acylophorus in collections. There are no ecological data. Comparative notes. Lacks bright yellow pubescence on elytra found in many other species of this species group. Aedeagus flattened, similar to that of A. allardi but less elongate. Distinguishable from A. mareei and A. ziloensis with similarly short pubescence on the abdomen, either by the form of the mandibles or the last segment of the maxillary palpi.Published as part of Lott, Derek A., 2010, The species of Acylophorus Nordmann (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) in continental sub-Saharan Africa, pp. 1-51 in Zootaxa 2402 on page 21, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27590
Derek Mahon as translator
No full textDerek Mahon has devoted much of his productive life to translation, especially from the French. This paper studies his handling of French texts, distinguishing those which he has freely recreated from those which he has assimilated to his own style and those where he has made himself subservient to the character of the original author. Attention is drawn to his inventiveness, his wit, his moderation and rationality, his concern for effective and relevant communication with the reader, his rhythmic sense and his concern for emphasis and coherence. It is argued that the practice of translation affords Mahon the opportunity to write "at one remove" from direct feeling, and in so doing to combine breadth of feeling and of cultural reference with self-awareness and self-discipline
Acylophorus collarti Cameron
No full textAcylophorus collarti Cameron (Figs 11, 41, 61, 87, 119) Acylophorus collarti Cameron, 1935: 375; Herman, 2001: 3027. Redescription. Length 6.5– 7mm. Body generally black, sometimes with dark brown abdomen or more generally dark brown. Leg colour very variable from all pale to black with red tarsi. Maxillary palpi pale with last segment darker. Antennae pale with middle segments slightly darkened to all dark. Head large (pronotum 1.6x wider than head), 1.1x longer than wide with evident temples (Fig. 11). Pigmented area of head produced in front of antennal insertion. Forehead somewhat arched. Eyes relatively small. Covered with dense micro-punctures. Dense pale pubescence behind eyes. Two pairs of interocular setae arising from foveate punctures much closer to eyes than each other. Four postocular setae visible on each side, additional seta on hind margin of eye absent. Underside of head strongly depressed at base. Mandibles with one well developed medial tooth in front of a vestigial tooth on the right and just a flange on the left (Fig. 41). Maxillary palpi with terminal segment pubescent, more rounded on outer margin than inner margin and asymmetric, sometimes slightly attenuated at apex, longer than glabrous penultimate segment which is triangular (Fig. 61). First segment of antenna as long as next five. Segments I to IV elongate, IX and X transverse (Fig. 87). Pronotum relatively narrow with sides less rounded, almost quadrate (1.05x wider than long) and widest toward basal half, covered with dense micro-punctures. One pair of dorsal setae and one pair of lateral setae. Marginal setae short. Elytra only slightly transverse (1.4x wider than long) with close, bright yellow pubescence. Asperate punctures strong as in A. orientalis. Fringe of apical bristles slightly longer than the pubescence on the rest of the elytra. Abdominal tergites with similar pubescence. Punctation on abdominal tergites finer than on elytra and becoming sparser on apical segments. Sternite IX of male with apex entire. Paramere of aedeagus bilobed, lobes slightly divergent, pegs confusedly arranged in apical inner half of each lobe, base lipped as in A. densipennis (Fig. 119). Median lobe not longer than paramere, barely expanded at apex, which is truncate. Type material. Cameron described the species from specimens collected by A. Collart on 26 th January 1929 at Blukwa (Nizi) in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Two specimens from the type series have been located and one of these is here designated as the lectotype in order to fix the identity of the species. Lectotype 3: “ Paratype / Nizi: Blukwa; 26 -I- 29; A. COLLART / TYPE / Acylophorus Collarti Cam. TYPE / LECTOTYPE Acylophorus collarti Cameron 3 det. DA Lott, 2009 ” (IRSNB); Paralectotype 1 Ƥ: “ Paratype / Nizi: Blukwa; 26 -I- 29; A. COLLART / M. Cameron Bequest B.M. 1955 - 147 / Acyl. Collarti Cam. COTYPE / PARALECTOTYPE Acylophorus collarti Cameron 3 det. DA Lott, 2009 ” (BMNH). Further material examined. CAMEROON: Northwest Province: 3km SW of Bamenda, 1300m, RL Aalbu, 5. ii. 1980, 13 (FMNH). R.D. CONGO: Nizi: Blukwa, A Collart, 10.xii. 1928 & 25.i. 1929, 132Ƥ (IRSNB). Distribution and bionomics. Only recorded from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroon (Fig. 144). In Cameroon it was recorded in a stream-side thicket in afromontane forest. Comparative notes. Similar to A. densipennis by virtue of the bright yellow pubescence on the elytra, but generally larger and with smaller eyes. The apical bristles on the elytra are longer and the aedeagus is completely different. Much more similar to A. antennalis, from which it is best distinguished by the aedeagus. There may also be differences in the form of the mandibles and the maxillary palpi are narrower, but the extent of intraspecific variation in these characters is not yet understood.Published as part of Lott, Derek A., 2010, The species of Acylophorus Nordmann (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) in continental sub-Saharan Africa, pp. 1-51 in Zootaxa 2402 on pages 18-19, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27590
