No full textXanthopimpla calva Townes & Chiu, 1970 Xanthopimpla calva Townes & Chiu, 1970. Mem. Amer. Ent. Inst., 14: 240. Holotype: ♀, the Philippines: Gapan, Nueva Ecija (AEIC). Xanthopimpla calva sexcincta Townes & Chiu, 1970. Mem. Amer. Ent. Inst., 14: 241. Holotype: ♂, Malaysia: North Borneo (BPBM). Diagnosis. Propodeum without carinae, except apical part of lateral longitudinal carina present; first tergite broad, shorter than apical width; metasomal tergites 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 each with two black spots; ovipositor sheath 0.35x hind tibia. Distribution. Pham & Le (2007) have recently recorded X. calva from Nghe An Province, Central Vietnam. Outside Vietnam, this species has been recorded from India, Myanmar, Malaysia and the Philippines (Yu et al. 2005). Remarks. Four subspecies are currently recognised: X. calva calva, X. calva calcis Townes & Chiu, X. calva periscelis Townes & Chiu from the Philippines, and X. calva sexcincta Townes & Chiu from India, Myanmar and Malaysia. The specimens recorded from Vietnam belong to X. calva sexcincta, which differs from the nominate subspecies and from X. calva periscelis by the presence of black marks on the first tergite, and can be distinguished from X. calva calcis by the apically black mid and hind tibiae. Material examined. Nghe An, Pu Mat NP: 1♂ (IEBR), 300−400 m a.s.l, 23.iv.2006, H. X. Le leg.; Dak Lak, Ea So NR: 1♀ (IEBR), 310 m a.s.l, 12°55.93’N 108°37.96’E, 27.vii.2008, H. T.

Xanthopimpla tricapus Townes & Chiu 1970

Inst., 14: 260. Holotype: ♀, Myanmar: Toungoo, Karenni (ZMHB). Diagnosis. Mesoscutum medially with three separate black spots; area superomedia closed; propodeum without basal transverse carina so that first and second lateral area confluent; ovipositor sheath equal to length of hind tibia. Distribution. Pham & Le (2007) have recently recorded this species from Vietnam on the basis of specimens collected from Pu Mat NP, Nghe An Province (Central Vietnam). Outside of Vietnam, it is known from India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines (Yu et al. 2005). Remarks. Two subspecies are currently recognised: X. tricapus tricapus from the Philippines and Xanthopimpla tricapus impressa Townes & Chiu from India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. The latter subspecies differs from the nominate by the presence of a shallow notaulus, small punctures on the mesoscutum and an entirely yellow tergite 6 and probably warrants separate species status, although we have not examined material from the Philippines to confirm this. Material examined. Nghe An, Pu Mat NP: 1♂ (ZFMK), 350 m a.s.l, 26.iv.2006; 1♀ (IEBR), 400−500 m a.s.l, 16.vii.2006, H. X.

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
