Free Speech and Antisemitism: Collin v. Smith Today
No full textThe Skokie-based Collin v. Smith litigation resulted in our law's most significant constitutional response to antisemitic hate speech. The Skokie case opinions shed light on how antisemitism was thought of at the time and place in question. More importantly, how we choose now to understand the Collin v. Smith cases tells us much about how we conceive of antisemitism and of antisemitic injury today. The argument herein is that our understanding of freedom of speech, and of its value and limits, has significantly evolved over the decades since Collin v. Smith. Relatedly, our collective understanding of the harms and injuries inflicted by antisemitic speech has, at the deepest level, been significantly changing as well. In both of these respects, the Collin v. Smith litigation has only increased in importance over time

Empis (Empis) nigropilosa Collin
No full textEmpis (Empis) nigropilosa Collin (Figs 9–11) Collin, 1937: 142, fig. 3. Type locality: “ Syria ”. Other references: Chvála & Wagner, 1989: 267 (catalogue); Pont, 1995: 117 (type data); Yang et al., 2007: 104 (catalogue). Note on the type-series. Pont (1995) noted that the holotype of E. nigropilosa has no label data. Type material examined. HOLOTYPE, ♂ (Fig. 9), labelled (Fig. 10): “[no data]”; “pale purple disc”; “[cel- luloid slip with dissected terminalia in Canada balsam]”; “ Empis / nigropilosa Collin / TYPE ♂. [hand-written by Collin]”; “VC-TYPE 557/ Empis ♂ / nigropilosa/ Collin”; “ Holotypus / Empis / nigropilosa Collin, 1937 [our red label]” (OUMNH). Remarks. Empis nigropilosa appears to be a doubtful species. It is very similar to E. hirta Loew described from Georgia (Loew 1865; Syrovátka 1991). Empis hirta is widely distributed in the Caucasus and locally quite common occurring over a broad range of altitudes from submontane area closer the shores of the Black Sea up to 1600 m (Kustov & Shamshev 2014). Syrovátka (1991) re-described E. hirta and designated the lectotype, but he compared this species only with E. pilosa Loew. Unfortunately, Syrovátka (1991) omitted in his re-descriptions of Empis s. str. characters such as the setosity of the prosternum. Empis hirta has the prosternum setose. The male terminalia of E. hirta and E. nigropilosa appear identical (e.g., Collin 1960: 142, fig. 3; Syrovátka 1991: 255, fig. 10A; Kustov & Shamshev 2014: 181, fig. 10) and the majority of other external characters match. However, E. nigropilosa differs from E. hirta by the bare prosternum (vs. setose), four scutellar setae (vs. 6–12), somewhat sparser and longer anteroventral setae on the hind femur and faintly infuscate wing (vs. brownish). It should be noted that some characters of E. hirta are very variable, e.g., body size (4.5–5.6 mm, the lectotype— 5.6 mm); number of notopleural setae (3–5, usually 3–4, in the lectotype 4); number and robustness of scutellar setae (6–12, when 6 or 8 then 4 usually stronger); prosternum sometimes only with 1–3 setae on each side. I provisionally retain E. nigropilosa as a separate species until additional material becomes available from that region. Distribution.

Empis (Empis) insulata Collin
No full textEmpis (Empis) insulata Collin (Figs 6–8) Collin, 1937: 143, fig. 4. Type locality (by lectotype designation): “Doummar”, Syria. Other references: Chvála & Wagner, 1989: 266 (catalogue); Pont, 1995: 91 (type data); Yang et al., 2007: 103 (catalogue); Çiftçi et al., 2012: 52 (key, misidentification). Notes on the type-series. Collin (1937) described E. insulata after three males. Only one specimen has label data (as Collin noted, also Pont (1995: 91)), however, it is highly damaged. Type material examined. LECTOTYPE (here designated in order to fix identity of the species), ♂ (Fig. 6), labelled (Fig. 7): “[no data]”; “ Empis / insulata Collin / TYPE ♂. [hand-written by Collin]”; “VC-TYPE 558/ Empis ♂ / insulata/ Collin”; “ Lectotypus / Empis / insulata Collin, 1937 / design. Shamshev, 2019 [red label]” (OUMNH). PARALECTOTYPES. Doummar (Syrie) 17.iv.; VC-TYPE 558/ Empis ♂ / insulata/ Collin; Paralectotypus, Empis insulata Collin, 1937, design.

Re-description. Male (Fig. 6). Lectotype wing length 3.3 mm. Head with dense light greyish pruinescence on face, frons, postgena, ocellar triangle and occiput. Holoptic, eye with upper ommatidia enlarged. Frons represented by very small triangular space below ocellar tubercle and larger subtriangular space above antennae, bare. Ocellar triangle with 2 long and some short fine setae. Occiput with numerous black short to moderately long setae on upper part and pale hair-like setae on lower part. Antenna black; scape and pedicel short, scape slightly longer, both with short setulae; postpedicel conical, about 2X longer than wide; stylus long, nearly 3/4 of postpedicel length. Palpus black; with rather scattered, short, dark setae. Proboscis with labrum nearly 1.4X head height. Thorax densely greyish pruinescent; scutum viewed dorsally with indications of indistinct brownish vittae along rows of dorsocentral setae. Prosternum bare. Proepisternum with a few pale hair-like setae on lower portion and 1–2 short dark setae on upper portion opposite anterior spiracle. Antepronotum with several black short setae. Postpronotal lobe with 1 long, strong black seta, 1–2 short setae and several minute setulae. Mesonotum with black well differentiated setation: 1 long presutural intra-alar, 1 presutural supra-alar, 3 notopleurals with several additional setulae anteriorly, 1–2 postsutural supra-alars, 1 postalar and 4 long scutellars; acrostichals arranged in 2 irregular rows, short, lacking on prescutellar depression; presutural dorsocentrals 1–2-serial, long, postsutural dorsocentrals uniserial, 2 prescutellar pairs longest (nearly as long as scutellars). Laterotergite with several fine pale and 1–2 stronger black setae. Anterior and posterior spiracles black. Legs quite robust, black, faintly greyish pruinescent. Coxae with pale fine setae. Fore femur with rows of short to minute fine anteroventral and posteroventral setae (pale closer to base). Mid femur with moderately long anterodorsal setae on basal half, intermixed long stronger and short finer setae anteroventrally and posteroventrally (longest setae somewhat longer that femur width). Hind femur covered with short setae. Fore tibia with some slightly longer setulae posterodorsally and posteriorly. Mid tibia with 2–3 long anterodorsal setae (except circlet of subapicals), some numerous finer setae posterodorsally and moderately long intermixed strong and fine setae anteroventrally. Hind tibia straight, slender, with about 4 pairs of somewhat longer setae dorsally; no seta in posteroapical comb. Fore basitarsus slender, with somewhat longer setulae posterodorsally and posteriorly; hind basitarsus slender, covered with short setae dorsally. Wing membrane faintly infuscate. Basal costal seta present, long. Pterostigma indistinct, yellowish brown. Veins brownish, well sclerotised. CuA+CuP (anal vein) incomplete. Cell dm short, almost truncate, with slightly elongate apex. Anal lobe well-developed; axillary incision right angled. Squama dirty yellow, pale fringed. Halter yellow. Abdomen dark brown in ground-colour, densely greyish pruinescent; mostly with pale hair-like setae longer on tergites laterally, some blackish short setae on tergites dorsally. Sclerites of pregenital segments without projections. Terminalia small (Fig. 8). Cercus black, narrow, subrectangular, with apex slightly produced beyond apex of epandrium (lateral view); in dorsal view with short internal projection near base; covered with black setulae. Epandrial lamella black, subtriangular, covered with black setae somewhat longer along lower margin. Hypandrium dark brown, subshiny, narrow subtriangular, bare. Phallus yellow, rather short, with short portion slightly projecting beyond cerci; straight beyond basal curvature; with small wing-like projections near middle, remaining portion tubular. Female. Unknown. Distribution. Palaearctic: Syria. Remarks. In addition to the species keyed below, E. insulata is similar to E. basilaris Becker and E. petulans Becker known only from Canary Isles and Corsica, respectively (Syrovátka 1991). Both these species differs from E. insulata primarily by the presence of pale setulae on the postpronotal lobe.Published as part of Shamshev, Igor V., 2020, Empis s. str.
