Lattice study of a magnetic contribution to heavy quark momentum diffusion
Full text linkHeavy quarks placed within a hot QCD medium undergo Brownian motion, characterized by specific transport coefficients. Their determination can be simplified by expanding them in T/M, where T is the temperature and M is a heavy quark mass. The leading term in the expansion originates from the colour-electric part of a Lorentz force, whereas the next-to-leading order involves the colour-magnetic part. We measure a colour-magnetic 2-point correlator in quenched QCD at T ∼ (1.2 − 2.0)Tc. Employing multilevel techniques and non-perturbative renormalization, a good signal is obtained, and its continuum extrapolation can be estimated. Modelling the shape of the corresponding spectral function, we subsequently extract the momentum diffusion coefficient, κ. For charm (bottom) quarks, the magnetic contribution adds ∼ 30% (10%) to the electric one. The same increases apply also to the drag coefficient, η. As an aside, the colour-magnetic spectral function is computed at NLO

This taxon was treated as a junior synonym of Cyana subornata (Walker, 1854) distributed in Sri Lanka (Hampson 1900; Draudt 1914; Strand 1922). However, significant external and genital differences prove its species status. 2. In the original description, Swinhoe (1891) did not mention a number of specimens, but cited two localities therefore the existence of syntypes is obvious. In order to stabilize the nomenclature, we designate the specimen deposited in NHMUK and labeled as ‘type’ as lectotype. Diagnosis. Forewing length is 13–13.5 mm in males and 15–16 mm in females. Cyana linatula is a closest relative of C. subornata (Figs 28, 29), but can be easily distinguished by its inner black edging of the antemedial line and outer black edging of the postmedial line, whereas in C. subornata both lines are pure red. The male genitalia of C. linatula differ from those of C. subornata (Fig. 174) by the larger ventral subbasal diverticulum, the larger dorsal medial diverticulum, and the presence of a cluster of small spinules on the tip of the distal diverticulum. The female genitalia of C. linatula differ from those of C. subornata (Fig. 247) by their broader ostium bursae, more strongly rugose posterior section of corpus bursae, and more robust spinulose scobination of the appendix bursae. Distribution. India (Rajasthan, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala) (Singh et al. 2014, as C. subornata).

Morphologically, Miltochrista jarawa, sp. nov. (Figs 1–3) is similar to M. lutara (Figs 4–9), but is distinguishable externally by its smaller size, the less sinuous antemedial line, the irregularly sinuous medial line interrupted on the vein R (that is continuous and smoothly arcuate in M. lutara), and the less zigzagged postmedial line. The male genital capsule of the new species (Figs 10, 11) is closely similar to that of M. lutara (Figs 12, 13), but differs by the more elongate valva with the more elongate and broader distal lobe, the straight dorsal margin of sacculus (in M. lutara, that bears a broad but short triangular protrusion medially), and the slightly curved distal saccular process (in M. lutara, the saccular process is conspicuously more sinuate). The vesica of M. jarawa sp. nov. is much broader than that of M. lutara, the subbasal diverticulum is broader, the distal diverticulum is much broader, and the cornutus is conspicuously longer and more robust in comparison with those structures of M. lutara. The female genitalia of the new species (Fig. 14) differ from those of M. lutara (Fig. 15) by the slightly shorter apophyses posteriores, the conspicuously shorter apophyses anteriores having rounded tips (those are apically pointed in M. lutara), the sclerotized anterior section of the ductus bursae (that is membranous in M. lutara), the broader sclerotized band of the posterior section of the corpus bursae bearing smaller denticles anteriorly, the larger right lateral protrusion of the corpus bursae, the broader anterior section of the corpus bursae with a longer area of a larger spinulose scobination having a triangular medial posterior extension (that is absent in M. lutara), and the slightly broader appendix bursae. Description. External morphology of adults . Male (Figs 1, 2). Forewing length 7.5–8 mm. Antenna ciliate. Head and thorax maize yellow. Anterior half of abdomen maize yellow, posterior half of abdomen blackish. Forewing with ground color maize yellow; costa curved opposite distal end of cell; patterning blackish; subbasal spot large, circular; subbasal area with two spots along a convex, slightly wavy antemedial line; medial line strongly sinuous medially and posteriorly, disappearing anteriorly and represented by a dot on vein R; postmedial line strongly and irregularly dentate; subterminal line represented by a series of large, variously sized spots on veins; terminal line absent; cilia concolourous with ground color. Hindwing pale yellowish, with blackish suffusion at apex. Female (Fig. 3). Forewing length 8–8.5 mm. Antenna filiform. Forewing with ground color maize yellow, pattern blackish; subbasal spot circular; subbasal area with two large spots along the convex, slightly wavy antemedial line; medial line strongly sinuous; postmedial line irregularly dentate; subterminal line represented by a series of large, various sized spots on veins; terminal line absent; cilia as ground color. Hindwing pale yellowish, with blackish suffusion at apex. Male genitalia (Figs 10, 11): Uncus narrow and elongate, slightly curved, narrowed distally and apically pointed; tuba analis moderately broad, scaphium thin and weakly sclerotized; tegumen moderately short and narrow; vinculum short, broadly v-shaped with rounded tip; juxta weakly sclerotised, trapezoid. Valva elongate, narrow, slightly curved; costa narrow, ending at end of distal lobe and lacking any processes; sacculus long and narrow, its distal process narrow, slightly curved dorsally, pointed apically; aedeagus cylindrical, with short and slightly broadened coecum; vesica with short but broad subbasal ventral diverticulum, granulated outer surface of the medial section, with large bilobate and granulate distal diverticulum and robust, blade shape distal cornutus on a narrow and elongate base. Female genitalia (Fig. 14). Papilla analis broadly rectangular with round corners, weakly setosed; apophyses elon-gate and thin, apophyses posteriores slightly narrower than apophyses anteriores; ostium bursae narrow, with membra-nous margins; ductus bursae tubular and relatively narrow, its posterior half membranous; anterior half of ductus bursae and posterior end of corpus bursae with rugose sclerotization; posterior section of corpus bursae dilated, thick-walled, with broad semiglobular lateral protrusion on its right side and short posterior protrusion on its left side; medial part of posterior section of corpus bursae bearing long, narrow, strongly curved and heavily sclerotized band covered with numerous short but robust spines; anterior section of corpus bursae sac-like, densely covered in numerous spinules on broad bases, this area of scobination protruding to medial part of corpus bursae; appendix bursae short but broad, thick-walled, situated on left side of posterior section of corpus bursae.

MWM/ZSM). Diagnosis. Forewing length is 9–10.5 mm (wingspan 17–20 mm) in males and 10.5–11 mm (wingspan 20–22 mm) in females. Miltochrista stenovalva sp. n. is very similar externally to the related M. kontumica, M. adelfika, sp. n. and M. areolifera, but can be distinguished from the first two by its more undulate medial transverse line of male forewing. From M. areolifera it differs by its slightly narrower male forewing with the costa less curved at apex, interrupted antemedial line, slightly more elongated discal spot and broader and shorter denticles of the postmedial line, of which the medial ones are directed distally, whereas in M. areolifera those are directed posterodistally. The male genital capsule of the new species resembles that of M. areolifera by its similarly narrow valva, but can be easily distinguished by the prominent and apically pointed distal costal process (in M. areolifera distal costal process is very short, narrow and has a rounded apex) and the presence of the distal saccular process and the distal membranous lobe of valva as well, the features which are absent in M. areolifera. Compared to those of M. kontumica and M. adelfika sp. n., the male genital capsule of M. stenovalva sp. n. differs by its more elongated, distally strongly tapered valva (that is dilated distally in M. kontumica and M. adelfika sp. n.), narrower distal section of costa, much smaller distal membranous lobe of valva, broader sacculus, and much longer and narrower distal saccular process. The aedeagus of the new species is much shorter and narrower than that of M. areolifera, the aedeagus vesica is much narrower, the ventral diverticulum is smaller, the dorsal subapical diverticulum is absent, and the cornuti are much shorter and more numerous (5–6 in M. stenovalva sp. n. and 2 in M. areolifera). Compared to those of M. kontumica and M. adelfika sp. n., the aedeagus of the new species is narrower, the aedeagus vesica is characterised by its broad and unilobate subbasal diverticulum (that is bilobate in M. kontumica and M. adelfika sp. n.), much larger ventral diverticulum, weakly granulated largest medial diverticulum, absence of a distal diverticulum (present in M. kontumica), and presence of a bunch of 4–5 robust spine-like cornuti of various length (whereas in M. kontumica and M. adelfika sp. n. there are bunches of two arrowhead-shaped cornuti). The female genitalia of M. stenovalva sp. n. differ clearly from all other members of the species-group by its significantly shorter apophyses anteriores compared to those of other species. The accessory bursa is thick-walled, situated dorso-posteriorly and extends to the left side of the posterior section of corpus bursae, the ductus seminalis originates from its lateral part, which is also unique within the species-group. The corpus bursae is similar to that of M. angulifera, but more elongate, curved right and bears smaller spinules. Distribution. India (Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram) and North Thailand (Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and Nan Provinces). Etymology. The specific epithet is a combination of the Greek word ‘στενή’ meaning ‘narrow’ and the word ‘valva’. The name refers to the narrow male valvae of the new species.Published as part of Volynkin, Anton V., Singh, Navneet, Černý, Karel, Kirti, Jagbir Singh & Datta, Harvinder Singh, 2020, Revision of the Miltochrista obliquilinea species-group, with descriptions of four new species (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini), pp. 448-470 in Zootaxa 4780 (3) on pages 456-458, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4780.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/385523

The replacement name is dedicated to G.S. Arora, author of the basic publication on the fauna of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Remark. The taxon tripunctata Reich, 1935 was described under the genus Lyclene. Here we transfer it to the genus Cyana and synonymize with C. detrita (see above). Thus, at present there are two Cyana taxa with the name tripunctata, so tripunctata Rothschild, 1936 becomes a junior secondary homonym of tripunctata Reich, 1935. Hence, we introduce the replacement name arorai nom. nov. for tripunctata Rothschild, 1936. Diagnosis. Forewing length is 12.5–15 mm in males and 17–18 mm in females. Cyana arorai is a polymorphic species, significantly variable in size. Cyana arorai is similar externally to C. carmina (Figs 13, 14), but differs by its arcuate antemedial line (that is oblique in C. carmina) and larger black discal spots. In females of C. arorai a third, posterior black spot may be developed (Figs 16, 17), what is unusual for the C. insularis group. The female genitalia of C. arorai are very similar to those of C. carmina (Figs 239, 240), but differ by the more heavily sclerotized cervix bursae having narrower longitudinal folds, and the lateral band-like signum being more weakly sclerotized subanteriorly with its anterior end strongly broadened. Distribution. Endemic of the Andaman Islands. The records of C. bianca (male) and C. coccinea (female) for the Andaman Islands (Hampson 1900; Draudt 1914; Arora 1983) belong to C. arorai.Published as part of Singh, Navneet, Volynkin, Anton V., Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Datta, Harvinder Singh & Ivanova, Maria S., 2020, A review of the genus Cyana Walker, 1854 from India, with descriptions of five new species and three new subspecies (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini), pp. 1-93 in Zootaxa 4738 (1) on page 10, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4738.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/367243

Etymology. In ancient Greek mythology, Chrysopeleia is one of Hamadryad nymphs. Diagnosis. Forewing length is 13.5–14.5 mm in males and 16–16.5 mm in females. Cyana chrysopeleia is very similar to the closely related C. atlanteia and can be separated from it by the genitalia structures only. The new species differs from C. intercomma by its larger size, amber yellow forewing pattern (that is darker, apricot orange in C. intercomma), and pure white male hindwing (whereas in male of C. intercomma the hindwing is pale ginger orange). The male genitalia of C. chrysopeleia are most similar to those of C. atlanteia, but differ by their narrower uncus, slightly broader valva with a well-developed medial costal crest, the presence of a bunch of spinules on the medial diverticulum. The male genitalia of the new species differ from those of C. intercomma by the longer and basally narrower uncus, the aedeagus without subapical dentate ring, the vesica without spinules subbasally and distally, the presence of a bunch of spinules on the medial diverticulum, and the shorter dorsal diverticulum with a small subbasal subdiverticulum and slightly smaller spinules on its tip (whereas in C. intercomma the dorsal diverticulum is longer, with larger spinules on its tip, and has no subdiverticulum; the vesica has a subbasal bunch of spinules and a long distal cluster of spinules stretching from the medial part of vesica to the base of the vesica ejaculatorius; the medial diverticulum has no spinules). The female genitalia of C. chrysopeleia differ from those of C. intercomma by the narrower and less sclerotized ductus bursae, the less sclerotized posterior section of the corpus bursae with the shorter but more heavily sclerotized lateral protrusion, the much larger signum, the less sclerotized basal part of the appendix bursae, and the smaller membranous section of the appendix bursae. Distribution. North and North East India (Uttarakhand, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram).Published as part of Singh, Navneet, Volynkin, Anton V., Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Datta, Harvinder Singh & Ivanova, Maria S., 2020, A review of the genus Cyana Walker, 1854 from India, with descriptions of five new species and three new subspecies (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini), pp. 1-93 in Zootaxa 4738 (1) on page 34, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4738.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/367243
