Distended body length about 0.9 –1.0 mm. Similar to female but smaller (Fig. 11); with a small circular pore plate on abdominal sterna IV–VII (Fig. 13). Material examined. CHINA: Shaanxi Province, Yangling, holotype female, 5 female, 1 male paratypes, from grasses, 21.vi. 1987 (Feng Ji-Nian) NWAFU; 8 females, 1 male from clover, 22.v. 2010 (M. Mirab-balou) ZJUH; Shandong Province, Qinzhou, 2 females, 3 males from clover, 26.v. 2010 (Lu Hong, Wei, Shu-Jun, M. Mirabbalou) ZJUH; Beijing, 2 females from alfalfa, 26.v. 2010 (Lu, H., M. Mirab-balou) ZJUH. Holotype female of Sussericothrips melilotus with 1 female and 1 male paratypes, IOZ. Distribution. China (Shaanxi, Shandong, Beijing, Gansu, Hebei, Henan, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia). Remarks. Han described S. melilotus from Beijing and Gansu, whereas Chou & Feng described H. houji from Yangling. H. houji was compared originally with H. boerhaaviae (Seshadri & Ananthakrishnan), but is here transferred to Sericothrips because of the following character states: presence of microtrichia completely across the abdominal terga, sterna and metanotum (in both micropterous and macropterous morphs); shape of the metasternum; tergal posterior margins with complete microtrichial comb; abdominal terga II–VII with median setae placed similarly and of similar size. S. melilotus shares these character states, and as no further differences could be found after studying Han’s original specimens, this species is here considered a synonym. During sampling in 2009– 2010, we found S. houji in high populations, especially micropterae, on clover and alfalfa fields.Published as part of Mirab-Balou, Majid, Hu, Qing-Ling, Feng, Ji-Nian & Chen, Xue-Xin, 2011, A new species of Sericothripinae from China (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), with two new synonyms and one new record, pp. 55-61 in Zootaxa 3009 on page 56, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27857

Taeniothrips grisbrunneus Feng, Chou & Li, comb.n.
No full textTaeniothrips grisbrunneus (Feng, Chou & Li) comb.n. Megalurothrips grisbrunneus Feng, Chou & Li, 1995: 15. Described from Shaanxi, China on three females and three males, the original description and figures suggest that this species is not a member of the genus Megalurothrips because of the following character states: tergite VIII with a long and complete posteromarginal comb; male abdominal sternites III–VII each with a large pore plate; fore wing first vein setal row widely interrupted. These characters indicate that grisbrunneus is a species of Taeniothrips. However, the original illustration of the head indicates a curious proliferation of small setae both in front of the ocellar triangle and also near the posterior margin of the vertex. Unfortunately the type specimens are not available for study, and the significance of this apparently unique chaetotaxy cannot be verified. Despite this illustration, grisbrunneus is probably closely related to picipes, a widespread Holarctic species that has been recorded in China from both Shaanxi and Henan (Mirab-balou et al. 2014).Published as part of Mirab-Balou, Majid, Mound, Laurence A. & Tong, Xiao-Li, 2015, New combinations and a new generic synonym in the genus Taeniothrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), pp. 371-378 in Zootaxa 3964 (3) on page 373, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3964.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/24055

Replication Data for: Constructing an Identity Scale to Analyze Changes in One China Identity: Evidence from Taiwanese Student Delegations Visiting Mainland China
No full textIt is both academically and practically valuable to construct a multi-dimensional scale to assess the effectiveness of the Communist Party of China’s (CPC) policy toward Taiwan. The author constructed a One China identity scale based on national identity theory and the CPC’s political advocacy and actions toward Taiwan. Using panel data from 271 members of Taiwanese student delegations to Mainland China from 2016 to 2017, this study explored the changes in their sense of a One China identity. The results showed a significant increase (0.11, 5.19%) in the average ratings of the investigated students’ One China identity. The regression equation constructed by the present study was able to explain 10.94% of the total variance of the One China identity scale, and all three hypotheses were supported. Following the exchange program, Taiwanese students appeared to have a greater sense of a One China identity. Their impression of Mainland China had improved, their acceptance of the CPC’s regime had increased, and their preference for authoritarianism had increased
