Cartwright on wholism
No full textThis paper proposes a critical examination of the wholism that Cartwright contemplates. The first part spells out the consequences of this position – notably our principled ignorance of nature as a whole. The second part considers that physical theory which is widely claimed to exhibit some sort of wholism, namely quantum physics. I sketch a wholistic model of quantum physics and compare this model to the wholism that Cartwright considers. The result is that – contrary to what Cartwright suggests – we do not have to see ourselves as being ignorant of nature as such and our scientific view of nature can be quite systematic instead of being a patchwork. Finally, Cartwright’s wholism is confronted with confirmation wholism and semantic wholism. The result is again that these sorts of wholism speak against a patchwork view of our knowledge
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).

Dostine (MVM, T-22576). Paratypes. Northern Territory. 2 males (specimen CT-662 figured), 4 females (one figured), collected with holotype (MVM / MAGNT); 1 male, same site and collector, 19–20 May 2015; 4 males, 6 females, Leichhardt Springs, 19 May 2015, P.

The male of Ecnomina radonica sp. nov. is similar to those of E. thinotes Neboiss 1979 and E. volsellus Cartwright 1990 in possessing an elongate pair of simple dorsal processes on tergum X but can be distinguished from the latter two and all other species in the genus by the distinctive, slender and incurved, pincer-like inferior appendages. The wing venation of E. radonica sp. nov. (Fig. 1) differs from those figured for E. legula Neboiss 1977 and E. scutica Cartwright 2008 (Cartwright 2008, figs 3, 5), in that forewing forks 2, 3, and 4 and hind wing fork 3 are all relatively short. Description, male & female. Spurs: 3:4:4. Wings (slightly damaged) as in Fig. 1. Head, body, and wings light brown; wings similar to those of E. legula (Cartwright 2008, fig. 3) but most forks shorter. Length of each forewing: male 2.4–2.5 mm, female 2.8 mm. Forewing with forks 2, 3, 4, and 5 and discoidal cell; fork 2 relatively long, sessile, length of fork about 1.6–1.7 times length of fork 3; fork 3 relatively short, with long footstalk, fork about 1.7–1.8 times length footstalk, crossveins r-m and m nearly contiguous at fork 3, fork 4 about 0.8 times length of fork 3; fork 5 long, length about 1.9–2.0 times length of fork 4. Hind wing with forks 2, 3, and 5 and discoidal cell; fork 2 with short footstalk, length of fork 2 about 2.0–2.3 times length of fork 3; fork 3 shorter than its footstalk. Male. Tergum X with one pair of relatively slender dorsal processes (Figs 2, 4), in dorsal view robust in basal third (Fig. 4). Superior appendages slender, somewhat rod-like (Figs 2, 4), in lateral view with length about 6.8 times width (Fig. 2); in dorsal view with length about 5.5 times width, each with single, robust subapical spine (Fig. 4). Phallus simple, tube-like (Figs 2, 3, 4). Inferior appendages slender, curved strongly downward and mesad like pincers, fused at base (Figs 2, 3). Female. Genitalia with a single slender, elongate mesal process on sternite VIII; segment IX relatively long and slender, segment X relatively short and slender in ventral view (Fig. 5). Etymology. Radonica —from the type locality (Radon Springs). Remarks. Ten male specimens of Ecnomina radonica are recorded from three localities within Kakadu NP, NT (latitude range 12.75– 12.83°S).Published as part of Cartwright, David I. & Dostine, Peter, 2022, Five new species and new records of caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) from Australia's ' Top End', pp. 283-304 in Zootaxa 5138 (3) on pages 287-288, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5138.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/655973
