DISTRIBUTION. — New Caledonia (type locality) and now from the Philippines (Castro 2000: table 6). Depth: 83-110 m (Castro 2000: table 5). REMARKS Rectopalicus amphiceros was described from one male and one pre-adult female.The discovery of an adult female, slightly smaller than the male holotype, now permits the description of some features of adult females. The female specimen unfortunately lacks the abdomen. The carapace and pereopods of the adult female (ZRC 2008.1) are as in the holotype male (Castro 2000: fig. 35a-c) and pre-adult female paratype. The vulvae are relatively large, round, with simple margins, and on thoracic sternite 6. They are displaced to the median plate of the sternum. The sternothoracic cavity is typical of adult female palicids, being very broad and extending to just below the posterior margin of the third maxillipeds.Published as part of Castro, Peter, 2010, A new species and new records of palicoid crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Palicoidea, Palicidae, Crossotonotidae) from the Indo-West Pacific region, pp. 73-86 in Zoosystema 32 (1) on pages 83-84, DOI: 10.5252/z2010n1a3, http://zenodo.org/record/452086

Entre a sombra e o mergulho, uma casa que ri. Casa Baltazar de Castro, Braga, 1963-1965
A Casa Baltazar de Castro foi projectada e construída entre 1963 e 1965 e é omissa, quase sem excepção, em toda a historiografia da arquitectura portuguesa. A operacionalidade da utilização de temas, definidos por outros autores a propósito do estudo de obras arquitectos contemporâneos, como fizemos em relação às leituras propostas por: Fernandez da obra de José Carlos Loureiro, por Moneo das obras de Stirling e Siza
e por Stirling da obra de Le Corbusier, na análise da obra de Celestino de Castro, demonstra, em nossa opinião, o carácter informado e cosmopolita das reflexões que enformam a obra deste arquitecto e em particular a Casa Baltazar de Castro.
Esta é uma casa na “fronteira”, quer na biografia do autor, quer na história da arquitectura portuguesa em que participa, em nossa opinião, de pleno direito. Na fronteira entre o modernismo e o pós-modernismo, entendido este como a crise das grandes narrativas, a casa Baltazar Castro exprime a inquietação da aproximação de tempos diversos, mas não dá, ainda, o passo para a construção de um novo paradigma.
São disso relevadores, nomeadamente, a evolução da expressão plástica e espacial para uma cada vez maior personalização e riqueza volumétrica, o acentuar da importância dos sistemas construtivos e materiais, e a redescoberta de uma relação estreita com o solo e a envolvente próxima.Baltazar Castro House, designed by the architect Celestino de Castro, was built between the years 1963 and 1965.
Although the author is a well-known architect, his house is without explanation ignored, given that no reference of it in the historiography of the modern Portuguese architecture exists. In this brief text, I try to explain that this invisibility is incoherent with the intrinsic quality of the building. This is done by first analysing a set of key concerns and ideas, defined by certain authors, in the study of other architects (contemporaries of CC), such as: Fernandez on Loureiro, Moneo on Siza and Stirling and Stirling on Le Corbusier, and then using the same concerns and ideas for analysing Celestino de Castro house. This method of analysis led me to recognise the informed and cosmopolitan character of Celestino de Castro’ work and of his building in particular, since it was possible to identify on both the same key concerns and ideas. I highlight as the most significant characteristics
of this house its unique and strong formal spatial expression, its volumetric complexity and the way it rediscovers a more intense relation with the ground level and the urban environment.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Culms 1.5–3.0 m tall, 10–20 mm in basal diameter, erect, somewhat arching toward the apices. Internodes 80–170 mm long, 15–36 per culm, terete, glabrous, green to dark green purple, hollow, the walls 3–5 mm thick, the lacuna occupying 50% of the total diameter.

Nodes at mid culm with the central bud slightly larger than the subsidiaries, triangular; subsidiary buds 3–6 per complement, axillary, closely adjacent and linearly arranged in 1 row, with the base of the buds arising about 2 mm above the nodal line; prophylls with ciliate margins; nodal line more or less horizontal, supranodal ridge present and prominent. Branching intravaginal; 3–6 branches per node, growing almost parallel to the main culm, 130–400 mm long, 1–2 mm in diameter, rebranching (second order) and developing a single branch. Foliage leaves 3–9 per complement; sheaths glabrous, with entire margin; blades 90–165 mm long, 5–12 mm wide, L:W 13–21; blades adaxially and abaxially strongly tessellate, glabrous, attenuate at base, subulate at apex, with finely scabrous margin; pseudopetioles 1.5–3.0 mm long, adaxially and abaxially glabrous; inner ligules 5–10 mm long, well developed, clasping the branch, abaxially glabrous; outer ligule a ciliate irregular rim 0.2–1.0 mm long. Synflorescences 45–90 mm long, 1–15 mm wide, narrow, somewhat congested, not fully exserted from the subtending sheath; rachis slightly sinuate, angular, slightly scabrous; branches appressed, but not strongly so, ascending, 10–20 mm long, angular, scabrous; pedicels 1–5(–7) mm long, angular, scabrous. Spikelets (6.2–)7.2–8.8(–10.8) mm long, 1–1.3 mm wide, glabrous, laterally compressed. Glumes I and II ovate, obtuse, glabrous, enervate; glume I (0.2–)0.6– 1(–1.4) mm long, 1/50–1/5 the spikelet length; glume II 0.6–1.2 mm long, 1/15–1/4 the spikelet length. Glumes III and IV scabrous, awned, margin entire, ciliate to the apex; glume III including the awn (4.4–)4.6–6.8(–7.2) mm long, 5-nerved, the awn (0.6–) 1.2–2.2 mm, 1/4–3/4 the spikelet length; glume IV including the awn (5.6–)5.8–7.8(–8.2) mm long, 3–4-nerved, the awn 0.6–1.2 mm long, 1/2–9/10 the spikelet length, 4–5-nerved. Lemmas (6–) 8–9 mm long, 7–nerved, green, scabrous, awned, margin ciliate toward the apex; awn 0.6–0.8 mm long, 5-nerved. Paleas (6–) 8–9 mm long, 2–nerved, scabrous; nerves scabrous, apex biapiculate, the sulcus scabrous. Lodicules 3, membranaceous, 0.6–0.8 mm long, glabrous, hyaline, margin entire, apex truncate. Stamens and stigmas not seen. Fruit not seen (Fig. 4). Habitat and distribution:— Chusquea septentrionalis was described from Durango state, known from three localities (Ruiz-Sanchez et al. 2017). This species inhabits coniferous forest growing from 2333–2729 m (including elevation data from the new records first reported here). We recorded the presence of this species far north (25°39’49.17’’N, 107°0’25.44’’W) in Sinaloa state from the type locality (Fig. 2, 5), making this species unquestionably the northernmost of the genus. Comparison:—Synflorescences and spikelets of C. septentrionalis are more similar to C. bilimekii than to C. perotensis (Table 2). Synflorescences are congested-paniculate in C. septentrionalis and C. bilimekii and openpaniculate in C. perotensis. Further comparisons will be between C. septentrionalis and C. bilimekii. Glumes I and II are glabrous in C. septentrionalis and abaxially pubescent in C. bilimekii. Glumes III and IV are abaxially scabrous in C. septentrionalis and pubescent in C. bilimekii. Glumes III and IV are awned in C. septentrionalis, but are subulate and apiculate in C. bilimekii. Lemmas are shorter (6–) 8–9 mm and abaxially scabrous in C. septentrionalis, and these are longer (9.6–10.1 mm) and pubescent in C. bilimekii (Table 2). Etymology:—The specific epithet refers to this species having the northernmost distribution among the members of Chusquea subg. Swallenochloa . Phenology:—The first known flowering record for this species was collected during the summer of 2019 (A. Castro-Castro et al. 4600). All flowers examined from this specimen, however, were past mature and had no fruits. Specimens examined:— Durango: Durango municipality, Salto del Agua Llovida, km 58 de la brecha Navios-El Regocijo-San Isidro-Molinillos, a partir del km 72 de la carretera Méx. 40 Durango-Mazatlán, 23°32’15.6’’N, 104°15’15.5’’W, 2333 m, 10 julio 2019, (fl), A.
