Introduction
No full textIn the last decade the philosophy of social science has become a vibrant field with exciting research on a host of topics. The new directions in this field go hand in hand with several other changes in the intellectual landscape, such as the spread of game theory from economics outwards across the social sciences, a new understanding of the role of values in science, the attention to interdisciplinary practice of research, and the obsession with objectivity. The co-authors spell out these changes as an introduction to the topics dealt with in the bulk of the volume

Absensomina weara Cartwright, 2010, sp. nov.
No full textAbsensomina weara sp. nov. Figs 1–6 Diagnosis. Absensomina weara is most similar to species of the genus Agmina from New Caledonia which also lack fork 3 in the hind wing (Ward and Schefter 2000). It differs from Agmina species in several characters, including the forewings each having both forks 2 and 3 with relatively long footstalks (Fig. 1) and small details of the male genitalia. Description. Head, body and wings fawn; length of forewing: male 2.6–3.2 mm, female 2.7 –3.0 mm; wing venation: as in generic description (Fig. 1). Male. Tergum X not apparent (Fig. 5). Superior appendages short and robust, in lateral view, subrectangular, length about twice height (Fig. 3), in dorsal view, length about same as width, each with 1 dorsal and 1 ventral mesal digitiform processes subapically (Fig. 5). Phallus tube-like with pair of long upturned dorsolateral processes near middle and short, partly retracted spine apically (Fig. 3). Inferior appendages in ventral view fused to form single, wide, strongly depressed semi-triangular plate, with short central process distally (Fig. 4); in lateral view slender, length about 5 times width (Fig. 3). Female. Genitalia with abdominal sternite VIII relatively broad, basally with small mesal process, not well developed (Figs 6, 6a); segment IX long, broad-based, tapered distally, segment X relatively short, slender (Fig. 6).

Sheldon (NMV). Etymology. Weara - North Queensland Aboriginal word for wide (inferior appendages- ventral view). Remarks. Absensomina weara is a distinctive and uncommon species recorded from two widely separated areas of northeastern Queensland (latitudinal range 11 ° 44 '– 18 ° 57 'S). This species has previously been referred to as Ecnomina sp. n. A (Wells and Cartwright 1993: 227) and Ecnomina sp. nov. PT- 1590 (Walker et al. 1995: 22; Cartwright 1997: 5). FIGURES 1–6.

Neboissomina jardinei Cartwright, 2011, sp. nov.
No full textNeboissomina jardinei sp. nov. Figs 1, 2, 12 –14, 26 Diagnosis. Neboissomina jardinei is similar to N. kuranya and N. riyala in possessing inferior appendages which are fused to form a single large sub-rectangular plate, but it is distinguished by small differences in the inferior appendages, in ventral view with a small central notch distally, and in lateral view sub quadrate, truncate distally. Description. Head, body, and wings light brown, abdomen paler ventrally; wings typical for the genus (Fig. 2), length of each forewing: male 2.3–2.5 mm, female 2.4–2.8 mm; length 2.9–3.1 times width; length of each hind wing 3.2–3.3 times width. Wing venation: Each forewing with forks 2, 3, 4 and 5 present; fork 2 long, sessile, length 1.5–1.7 times length of fork 3; fork 3 with long footstalk, fork 3 length 1.6–1.7 times length of footstalk, length of footstalk 2.3–2.6 times length of cross-vein m, cross-veins r-m and m nearly contiguous at fork 3, r-m and m separated by 0.0– 0.2 times length of cross-vein m; fork 5 long, length about 1.7 times length of fork 4. Hind wings each with forks 2, 3 and fork 5 present; fork 2 with short footstalk, length of footstalk 0.4–1.3 times length of cross-vein r-m, fork 2 length 1.2–1.6 times length of fork 3. Male. Tergum X membranous, with 1 pair of long, slender dorsal processes, widely separated at base, converging near middle, and diverging slightly distally (Fig. 14). Superior appendages short and robust, in lateral view length about twice width (Fig. 12), in dorsal view length about twice width, slightly dilated distally (Fig. 14); pair of long, dorso-ventrally flattened (depressed) processes (mesal processes of tergum X) ventro-basal of superior appendages. Phallus simple, tube-like; with pair of long, slender processes (phallic guides) arising from near base of inferior appendages (Fig. 12). Inferior appendages longer than superior appendages, fused, in ventral view large, sub-rectangular shield, truncate distally, length about 1.4 times width (Fig. 13), in lateral view sub-rectangular, length about 3 times width, truncate distally (Fig. 12). Female. Genitalia with pair of robust obliquely truncate lobes on sternite VIII; segment X robust (Fig. 26). Holotype male: Queensland, Canal Ck u/s jn Eliot Ck, 11 ° 23 'S, 142 ° 25 'E, 6 Feb 1992, Cartwright and Wells (NMV, T- 21020). Paratypes: Queensland. 20 males (specimen CT- 424 figured), 20 females (specimen CT- 425 figured), collected with holotype (NMV). Other material examined: Queensland. 8 males, 40 females, collected with holotype; 41 males, 25 females, Eliot Ck u/s jn Canal Ck, 11 ° 23 'S, 142 ° 25 'E, 6 Feb 1992, Cartwright and Wells; 5 males, 21 females, Dulhunty R., Telegraph Crossing, 11 ° 50 'S, 142 ° 30 'E, 8–9 Feb 1992, Cartwright and Wells; 2 males, 20 females, same loc. and coll., 10 Feb 1992 (NMV). Etymology. Jardinei - named after Douglas Jardine (North Queensland explorer). Remarks. Many specimens of Neboissomina jardinei have been collected from 3 localities on Cape York Peninsula, northern Queensland (latitudinal range 11 ° 23 '– 11 ° 50 'S).Published as part of Cartwright, David I., 2011, Descriptions of Neboissomina, new genus and 6 new species of Ecnomidae from Australia (Trichoptera), pp. 17-30 in Zootaxa 2736 on page 22, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20202
