    Cosmopsaltria halmaherae n. sp. is described from Halmahera, Maluku and placed in the C. doryca group. The characters of this group are reconsidered and the relationships of its members are discussed. The C. doryca group and two other monophyletic groups of cicadas demonstrate a vicariant distribution in Maluku Utara (= North Moluccas) and Maluku Selatan (= South Moluccas)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Maps 1:50.00 of the Fiji Islands, contoured, are also sold by Edward Stanford Ltd. (a number of sheets in Viti Levu and Vanua Levu are not available). Based on these maps the Land Resources Division published 1:50.000 forest maps of the forested areas of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu with the Land Resource Study entitled Fiji Forest Inventory by M.J. Berry and W.J. Howard

    The eye-catching cicada Hamza ciliaris (Linnaeus, 1758) comb. n. in Indonesia and the Pacific: taxonomie status, synonymy, and distribution (Homoptera, Cicadoidea)

    The new combination Hamza ciliaris (Linnaeus) is proposed for a cicada species widely distributed in Maluku ( = Moluccas), Timor, Banda, Kei and Banggai Islands, the Philippines, and the Palau group of the Caroline Islands. The synonymy of five species, treated in the literature as junior synonyms of Platypleura ciliaris, is confirmed and three other species are synonymized with Hamza ciliaris for the first time: Hamza bouruensis (Distant), H. uchiyamae Matsumura, and Platypleura lyricen Kirkaldy. The redescription of Hamza ciliaris is followed by discussions on its distribution, habitat, and taxonomie position. The current classification of the genus Hamza in the separate tribe Hamzini is questioned by the results of this study. Some remarks are made on the classification of the cicadas in general
