Dahan-shan, Chunrih Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan. Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguishable from the other Taiwanese congeners by having piceous elytra. The species is very similar to A. sauteri, but differs in the following characteristics: posterior margin of pygidium and 8 th sternite emarginate at middle; spicular apodeme connected with spicular plates; phallobasic apodeme weakly dilated apically and incised at the apex; ventral phallobasic plates well sclerotized. Description. Male (n = 11, Figs 1 D– 1 F): Head, antennomeres, pronotum, legs and abdomen yellowish orange; apical parts of mandibles black. Elytra metallic piceus. Head clothed with yellowish suberect setae on the area from frons to vertex and brownish setae on occiput; pronotal disk with yellowish and brownish suberect setae; elytra clothed with black suberect setae, mingled with yellowish setae near humeri; abdomen sparsely set with yellow suberect setae. Maxillary palpi with the last segment short, nearly triangular, obliquely truncate at apex. Antennomeres 4 to 8 weakly serrate, gradually becoming shorter apically; 9 th and 10 th serrate, as wide as long. Pronotum 1.3–1.5 (1.4) times as wide as long. Elytra oblong, weakly convex dorsally, 1.1–1.5 (1.4) times as long as wide, widest near middle, sparsely set with setigerous punctures throughout. Pygidium (Fig. 4 H) with posterior margin emarginate at middle. Eighth sternite (Fig. 4 I) semicircular; posterior margin faintly emarginate. Spicular fork (Fig. 4 J) with elongate intraspicular plate; spicular lobes weakly colored and almost membranous; spicular apodeme 1 / 2 as long as the total length of spicular fork. Aedeagus in fully inflated condition (Figs 6 C– 6 D) orthogonally curved ventrally at the base of CM in lateral view; CM cylindrically swollen, slightly dilated basally, thence constricted at base; phallus cylindrically swollen. Tegmen (Figs 4 K– 4 L) with phallobase oblong, nearly half length of tegmen, roundly pointed at apex; phallobasic apodeme in ventral view elongate, slightly dilated apically from apical 1 / 3 and incised at apex, almost straight in lateral view; ventral phallobasic plates well sclerotized; phallobasic struts divaricated from apical 1 / 3. Phallus (Figs 4 M– 4 N) longer than tegmen, slightly sinuous in lateral view; phallic plates uncinate at apex, densely with bi- or tridentate denticles from apical 1 / 4 to subapices of ventral margins. Female (n = 9): Similar to male, but the apical margin of 7 th sternite slightly and triangularly incised at middle. Pygidium with posterior margins (Fig. 7 C) roundly projected posteriorly; pygidial struts elongate. Eighth sternite (Fig. 7 D) with apical margin roundly projected posteriorly. Pronotum 1.3–1.6 (1.4) times as wide as long. Elytra 1.3–1.5 (1.4) times as long as wide. Measurements. Male (n = 11): BL 6.3–8.4 (7.2) mm, PL 1.4 –2.0 (1.7) mm, PW 2.0– 2.7 (2.3) mm, EW 3.2– 4.1 (3.6) mm, EL 4.2–5.9 (4.9) mm. Female (n = 9): BL 6.5–8.2 (7.5) mm, PL 1.5 –2.0 (1.8) mm, PW 2.1–2.7 (2.5) mm, EW 3.0– 4.1 (3.7) mm, EL 4.4–5.5 (5.0) mm. Etymology. The specific name is derived from the piceous elytra. Distribution. Taiwan (Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Yilan, Nantou, Hualien, Kaohsiung, Taitung, Pingtung).Published as part of Murakami, Hiroyuki, Yamasako, Junsuke, Chou, Wen-I & Yang, Ganyan, 2013, Review of the genus Allochotes (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Neorthopleurinae) from Taiwan, pp. 565-577 in Zootaxa 3710 (6) on pages 568-569, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3710.6.3, http://zenodo.org/record/21692

L-P error estimates and superconvergence for covolume or finite volume element methods
No full textWe consider convergence of the covolume or finite volume element solution to linear elliptic and parabolic problems. Error estimates and superconvergence results in the L-p norm, 2 less than or equal to p less than or equal to infinity, are derived. We also show second-order convergence in the L-p norm between the covolume and the corresponding finite element solutions and between their gradients. The main tools used in this article are an extension of the "supercloseness" results in Chou and Li [Math Comp 69(229) (2000), 103-120] to the L-p based spaces, duality arguments, and the discrete Green's function method.

On Ch'êng-Chou, the Metropolis of Chou
Full text linkThere have been two conflicting opinions concerning the relationship between Ch’êng-chou 成周 and Wang-ch’êng 王城, which allegedly both were the capitals of Chou China. One opinion says that they were situated at two different places, identifying Ch’êng-chou with Old Lo-yang 故洛陽 and Wang-ch’êng with Ho-nan 河南 of the Latter Han times; while the other maintains that both names were two different designations of the same city, Wang-ch’êng being applied to the royal quarter within Ch’êng-chou. Since the latter Han most scholars held the former view, which is supported also by modern Chinese archaeologists writing about recent investigation on the ruins of Wang-ch’êng. Mr. CH’ÊN, another Chinese scholar who studied bronze inscriptions of Western Chou period, adopts the same view in his writings. The latter theory of identifying the two names has been adhered to by a few scholars of Sung times and afterward.After carefully examining the two opinions, as well as the data found in archaeological reports and bronze inscriptions, the present writer has arrived at the following conclusions: (l) Ch’êng-Chou comprised Lo-i 洛邑 built by the Duke of Chou and where the royal palace was, and its neighborhood extending up to Mt. Mang-shan 邙山 in the north and the Lo River 洛水 in the south, including both the eastern and western banks of the Ch’ien River 壥水; (2) during the Ch’un-ch’iu period, the name Ch’êng-Chou came to mean the place whereOld Lo-yang was to be situated later, on the eastern banks of Ch’ien River, opposite to Wang-ch’êng on the western; (3) Such evolution of Old Lo-yang was one of the examples of the development of new commercial cities which appeared in ancient China since the middle part of the Ch’un-ch’iu period; (4) Ch’êng-chou, of which building is mentioned in Tso-chuan under the 32nd year of Chao-kung (510 B. C.), was this newly-developed city, Old Lo-yang, and was no longer the territory referred to under the same name at the beginning of western Chou period.journal articl
