Head dark brown to black; frons, clypeus and base of mandibles light brown to testaceous, slightly translucent; apex of mandibles light brown; palpi light brown. Antennae brown; first antennomere slightly lighter ventrally and antennomeres IX–X and base of XI yellowish-white. Pronotum predominantly dark brown to black, pale yellow around the borders. Elytra, thorax and abdomen brown; legs light brown, darker at base of femora, apex of tibiae and tarsi. Male (Fig. 5). Head as long as wide, broadly rounded behind eyes, densely pubescent; occipital region and frons convex; clypeus wide, emarginated anteriorly. Eyes rounded, rather prominent. Maxillary palpi elongate, last palpomere slender and slightly securiform. Antennae (Fig. 11) long, slightly serrate and slightly compressed dorso-ventrally; dorsal surface of antennomeres IV to VI with irregular longitudinal line, not straight, varying in length and width. Pronotum densely pubescent, transverse, 1.5–1.6 times wider than long; lateral margins slightly emarginated, explanate upwards and shortly notched near middle. Elytra finely rugous, densely covered with erect brownish setae; each elytron 4.9 times longer than wide. Legs slender; tarsomeres increasing in size from pro- to metathoracic legs; inner claw of prothoracic legs broadly lamellate at base; meso- and metathoracic tarsal claws with sharp protruding tooth. Last abdominal ventrite (Fig. 29) bilobed, rounded posteriorly and emarginated internally; abdominal tergite VIII (Figs 29–34) elongate and broad, with shallow latero-posterior compressions and strongly constricted posteriorly, forming rather trapezoidal apical projection bearing two contiguous glandular openings at apex; dorsal surface of apical projection with pair of parallel narrow ridges culminating in strong apical tooth. Aedeagus (Figs 53–55): ventral wall of tegmen long and broad, lateral sides slightly convergent, apical margin rounded; short setae along lateral and apical margins and in narrow longitudinal fringe ventrally; parameres very short, slightly surpassing dorsal margins of tegmen; apex obtuse, bearing few long setae; median lobe broad and membranous; internal sac long, apex exposed beyond median lobe, with two pairs of sclerites; ventral sclerites flattened dorso-ventrally, tip acuminate, curved laterally; dorsal sclerites broadly curved dorsally, apex rounded. Female. Similar to male but antennae lacking longitudinal lines; pronotum not notched laterally; tarsal claws simple; abdominal ventrite VII (Fig. 39) 2.1 times wider than long, not divided, lateral margins arched, distal margin with short and broad projecting tip; abdominal tergite VIII broad and simple. Differential diagnosis. Similar to P. apicicornis and P. obscurus. Elytra and pronotal patch lighter in colour; antennal lines not straight, varying in length and width, present from antennomeres III to IV; last abdominal ventrite of males bilobed, with apex sinuated internally; last abdominal tergite of males with broader, trapezoidal median projection with pair of dorsal longitudinal ridges culminating in acute, upwards-pointing tooth. Etymology. The specific epithet, latin adjective similis (similar), refers to the similarity of this species with P. apicicornis and P. obscurus. Distribution. Guyana and Brazil (Amazonas state) (Fig. 59).Published as part of Biffi, Gabriel & Constantin, Robert, 2018, Taxonomic revision of Pygodiscodon (Coleoptera: Cantharidae), pp. 77-90 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 58 (1) on page 88, DOI: 10.2478/aemnp-2018-0008, http://zenodo.org/record/367678

    Air transports – component of international transports

    No full text
    Air transports activity has known an important development caused by the economic increase, by Romania’s involvement in the international products trade, in international tourism. They are completed by the specific characteristics of air transports, which, together with the characteristics of the other ways of transport, has certain transport objectives with a higher and higher significance. Air traffic has a national commercial value and thus practices have been established in approaching national policies regarding: internal traffic protection through national air transporters, granting access to foreign transporters to national traffic in international transports.air transports, air traffic, company of aerial transportations

    Analysis of a Company’s Capacity to Produce Profit under Inflation Conditions

    No full text
    The priority given to prices stability should be a fundamental objective of the monetary policy towards promoting a sustainable economic growth, to the extent in which it does not damage the fulfilment of its fundamental objective. The classic patterns of analyzing dynamic rates of return (between accounting periods) met in the specialized literature are built by leaving aside the inflation, and results cannot be compared. The information of the profit and loss account is reported at the date when sales and expenses are made. For a better understanding, I will present IAS 29 “Current cost financial statements”, par. 30 “Global income statement” according to which: the statement of the global income to the current cost, before retreatment, generally reports current costs at the date the transactions or events generating them occur. The cost of sales and depreciation are recorded at current cost at the time of consumption; sales and expenses are recorded at current costs at the time of consumption; sales and expenses are recorded at money value at that time. This is why all values should be retreated in the unit of measurement existing at the end of the reporting period, using a general price index. I will present next the methods to analyze sales related profit and the rates of return under conditions of inflation, using present values as compared to rated values.inflation, current cost, incomes, profit, commercial profitability, economic profitability, financial profitability
