Makilingia speciosa Baker 1924
No full textMakilingia speciosa Baker (Figs 2 K–L, 7A–E, 8P, 9EE–FF) Makilingia speciosa Baker, 1924: 61, Fig. 2 Male genitalia. Pygofer ventral appendage evenly curved dorsad, with preapical doromedial spine, extended slightly beyond lobe. Subgenital plate with distal section curved dorsad at right angle to basal section, partly sclerotized and robust; dorsal callosity relatively small. Style with preapical lobe broad, rounded, preapical heel absent. Aedeagus in lateral view with preatrium shorter than shaft, evenly curved; shaft robust, irregularly curved dorsad, somewhat expanded preapically; in posterior view with preatrium constricted medially, atrium short and wide with lateral lobes rounded, shaft oblong ovoid, apex entire. Female. Sternite VII slightly wider than long, posterior margin broadly and shallowly concave and darkly pigmented medially. Second valvula with dorsal margin broadly convex teeth short, blunt, and evenly spaced through most of length. Material examined. Lectotype male, here designated, labeled "Baguio/ Benguet/ Baker; Cotype No./ U.S. N.M; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / speciosa Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT 01513410". 1 male and 2 female paralectotypes, same data, with USNMENT barcode labels numbered 0 1513407 thru 0 1513409 (USNM). Notes. A lectotype is designated from Baker's cotype series to fix the identity of the species. This is the largest known species of the genus and is readily distinguishable by the broad transverse orange band near the base of the forewing.Published as part of Dietrich, Christopher H. & Zahniser, James N., 2019, Review of the leafhopper genus Makilingia Baker (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Mileewinae), pp. 473-500 in Zootaxa 4559 (3) on page 493, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4559.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/262715
The Evolution of the Kuwaiti ‘Opposition’: Electoral Politics after the Arab Spring
No full textThe evolution of Kuwaiti opposition groups following changes to the country's electoral law fundamentally altered the dynamics of electoral contests after the Arab Spring, the author writes. This brief is the first of four resulting from a May 2018 workshop held in Kuwait by the Baker Institute in partnership with the Alsalam Center for Strategic and Developmental Studies. This work is part of a two-year project funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York on “Building Pluralistic and Inclusive States Post-Arab Spring.
Makilingia frontalis Baker 1924
No full textMakilingia frontalis Baker (Figs 1 L–M, 4Z–DD, 8D, 9G–H) Makilingia frontalis Baker, 1924: 69. Fig. 15 Male genitalia. Pygofer with ventral appendage elongate, narrow basally broadened and bent dorsad beyond margin of lobe, apex tapered and extended beyond lobe by more than half length of lobe. Subgenital plate relatively long, basal sclerotized section relatively short and narrow, distal lobe long and broad, curved slightly dorsad and compressed, dorsal callosity relatively small. Style with preapical lobe broad, angulate, distinctly angulate preapical heel present. Aedeagus with preatrium nearly as long as shaft, in lateral view bent at right angle, shaft compressed, broad in lateral view, apex irregularly rounded; in posterior view with preatrium narrow and slightly constricted medially, atrium with pair of large irregularly rounded lateral denticulate flanges, shaft nearly parallelsided to rounded apex. Female. Sternite VII nearly twice as wide as long, posterior margin with pair of narrow acute projections flanking shorter rounded medial lobe. Second valvulae with dorsal margin nearly straight through most of length, somewhat broadened near apex and obliquely truncate, teeth prominent, numerous, rounded and somewhat irregularly spaced. Material examined. Lectotype male, here designated, labeled: " Davao / Mindanao / Baker; Cotype / U.S. N.M.; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / frontalis Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019; USNMENT / 01513296". 2 female paralectotypes, first two labels with same data, additionally labeled “ PARALECTOTYPE / Makilingia / frontalis Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019”; each with a USNMENT barcode label numbered 0 1513297 thru 01513298; 1 additionally labeled “20442" (USNM). Notes. A male cotype from Baker's type series in the USNM is here designated lectotype to fix the identity of the species. This species resembles M. costalis in having the dorsum uniformly black except for the pale costal margin of the forewing but differs in having the texture of the face between the punctures glabrous rather than shagreen.Published as part of Dietrich, Christopher H. & Zahniser, James N., 2019, Review of the leafhopper genus Makilingia Baker (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Mileewinae), pp. 473-500 in Zootaxa 4559 (3) on page 483, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4559.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/262715
Cediopsylla simplex Baker
No full textCediopsylla simplex (Baker) —rabbit flea Ex Sylvilagus floridanus (eastern cottontail): 3 F, GSMNP, 30 Mar. 1931, R. L. Boke (Fox 1940); 4 F, TN, Sevier Co., Greenbrier, 1 Apr. 1931, R. L. Boke (Fox 1940); 1 F, TN, Blount Co., 20 Nov. 1947, D. W. Pfitzer (Pfitzer 1950, Benton 1980, Durden & Kollars 1997). As indicated by its vernacular name, the rabbit flea mainly parasitizes lagomorphs (Durden & Kollars 1997). This flea also forms shortterm associations with predators of lagomorphs, such as foxes and dogs (Durden et al. 2005).Published as part of Reeves, Will K., Durden, Lance A., Ritzi, Christopher M., Beckham, Katy R., Super, Paul E & Oconnor, Barry M., 2007, Ectoparasites and other ectosymbiotic arthropods of vertebrates in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA, pp. 31-68 in Zootaxa 1392 on page 43, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27368
