    Dipentium latum Darby, 2019 Material examined MALAYSIA-BORNEO • 1 spec.; Sarawak, 4 th Division, Gunung Mulu National Park; May–Aug. 1978; P. M. Hammond and J. E. Marshall leg., BM 1978-49; alluvial forest litter near laboratory; BMNH • 1 spec.; Sarawak, Gunung Mulu National Park; 200 m a.s.l.; 1978; N. M. Collins leg.; limestone forest, pitfalls; BMNH. Remarks These specimens do show some slight differences from the D. latum specimens from Sabah in the medially less densely foveolate metaventrum and in the shorter mesoventrum but these are not considered sufficient to designate them as a new species.Published as part of Darby, Michael, 2019, New Ptiliidae (Coleoptera) from Sarawak in the spirit collection of the Natural History Museum, London, pp. 1-50 in European Journal of Taxonomy 512 on pages 9-10, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.512, http://zenodo.org/record/262879

Additional material Many other examples determined by association retained in alcohol. Remarks In 2018, I described Ptiliola semitaria from Angola and illustrated alongside the figure of the spermatheca a second figure of a spermatheca of a specimen with a reduced length of duct between the pump and chamber which I suggested might be P. semitaria (Darby 2018). The spermathecae of Ptiliola from Sarawak include examples of similar ducts ranging in length between the two seeming to confirm that only one species is present. It is also worth noting that this form of spermatheca is similar to that of the European P. brevicollis (Matthews, 1860), but in that species the duct is shorter. A figure of the spermatheca of the Sabah P. semitaria is included for reference (Fig. 5G) together with figures of the Sarawak insect (Fig. 5 A–F).Published as part of Darby, Michael, 2019, New Ptiliidae (Coleoptera) from Sarawak in the spirit collection of the Natural History Museum, London, pp. 1-50 in European Journal of Taxonomy 512 on pages 11-12, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.512, http://zenodo.org/record/262879

    Baeocrara minima Darby, 2019 Fig. 17B Material examined MALAYSIA-BORNEO • 1 ♂; Sarawak, 4 th division, Gunung Mulu National Park; ca 100 m a.s.l.; Mar.–May 1978; I. Hanski leg.; pitfall trap fish bait, alluvial forest; BMNH. Remarks The distinctive mesoventral collar (Fig. 17B) separates the species from all other genera in the tribe, and the form of the aedeagus from all other species in the genus. Baeocrara minima has also been recorded from Sabah. The Sabah specimens are slightly larger than the Sarawak specimen, but apparently possess no other features to merit description of the latter as a new species.Published as part of Darby, Michael, 2019, New Ptiliidae (Coleoptera) from Sarawak in the spirit collection of the Natural History Museum, London, pp. 1-50 in European Journal of Taxonomy 512 on page 29, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.512, http://zenodo.org/record/262879

    A Critical Examination of the Ecclesiology of John Nelson Darby

    No full text
    This thesis examines the ecclesiology, or doctrine of the church, of John Nelson Darby (1800-1882), who was one of the leading and most prominent members of the Plymouth Brethren in the nineteenth century. The thesis systematically outlines the structure of Darby's thought on the subject of ecclesiology. It explains how Darby defined the church and understood its nature. His ecclesiology is shown to be foundational to the system of Dispensationalist theology in that the church is seen in occupying a period of time unforeseen in biblical prophecy. Darby's ecclesiology is also shown to be an ecclesiology of crisis in that he believed that the church had fallen into such a state of ruin that no bodies existed that could truly be described as churches. The thesis considers Darby's solution to the ruin or failure of the church found in 'meeting in the name of the Lord.' It examines how Darby's view of how the church should meet successfully synthesized the conflicting concepts of unity and separation. It suggests that other writers have not always recognized how Darby distinguished between separation from individuals and separation from institutions. Nevertheless while arguing that Darby's ecclesiology achieved a stable synthesis between unity and separation, it presents a number of practical problems with Darby's ecclesiology. Attention is given to Darby's teaching on discipline, ministry, church government and sacraments. The thesis considers his ecclesiology within a number of contexts. First, its place within the development of ecclesiology in theological history and in relation specifically to modem ecclesiologies. Second, in his life and involvement with the Brethren movement. Third, his role in the development of American fundamentalism, a major proportion of which has adopted significant aspects of his theology, particularly Dispensationalism, a form of millennial theology that makes a strong distinction between the church and the nation of Israel within salvation history. This thesis argues that while some American fundamentalists adopted Darby's dispensational views, they found very different practical applications for them in their ecclesiastical activity. A number of reasons are considered as to why they did not adopt Darby's ecclesiology in its entirety. Fourthly, the thesis considers the place of Darby's ecclesiology in relation to other ecclesiastical movements in nineteenth century Britain. It argues that Darby's ecclesiology shared similar themes to three ecclesiastical movements
