Frons strongly impressed medially, with transverse striae above antennal grooves, coarsely punctate laterally. Outer orbit with scattered punctures. Face coarsely rugosepunctate, with tooth-like tubercle between antenna. Clypeus slightly bulging, with preapical transversal ridge and rounded apical margin. Malar space length 0.75x width of mandibular base. Mandible with two teeth, lower tooth larger than upper one. Mesosoma covered with whitish hairs. Side of pronotum coarsely punctate dorsally, with fine striae in pronotal groove; collare with central groove and median longitudinal ridge. Notaulus not impressed.

Area petiolaris with transverse rugae. Costula indistinct. Legs slender; hind femur 5.1x longer than wide; hind tibia longer than hind femur. All claws with c.4 strong teeth. Areolet of fore wing open distally. Nervulus interstitial or slightly antefurcal. Radial vein strongly sinusoid distal to areolet. Nervellus of hind wing intercepted in its apical 0.6, discoidella weak. Metasoma strongly compressed laterally. 1st tergite c.3.1x longer than wide, with long glymma, coarsely striate. 2 nd tergite 2.1x longer than wide, coarsely striate.

Wings hyaline, pterostigma brownish, pale proximally. ♂ unknown. Remark: Although this new taxon has an apical notch of 6th tergite which is typical for Celor KOKUJEV, we have no doubt to include it in the genus Narolskyia KOÇAK & KEMAL. Its large size, compressed metasoma, wing venation, structure of propodeum and 1 st tergite and form of ovipositor resembles the other known species of this genus, Narolskyia chosrov (NAROLSKY). It can be differentiated from N. chosrov by the notched 6 th tergite, larger ocelli, shorter ovipositor, and reddish apical tergites.Published as part of Riedel, Matthias, Ameri, Ali, Talebi, Ali Asghar & Ebrahimi, Ebrahim, 2019, Contribution to the Ɨchneumonidae (Hymenoptera) oI Ɨran, with descriptions oI seven new species, pp. 361-390 in Linzer biologische Beiträge 51 (1) on pages 368-369, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.375834
The Complete Muhammad Ali
No full textIncluding material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography-it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. An honest, balanced portrayal of Ali, the book includes voices that have been omitted from other books. It charts Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to a universalism, but does not discount the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism's important influence on his intellectual development. Filipino American author Emil Guillermo speaks about how "The Thrilla' In Manila" brought the Philippines into the 20th century. Fans of Muhammad Ali, boxing fans, and those interested in modern African American history and the Nation of Islam will be fascinated by this biography by an accomplished American author.Intro -- DEDICATION -- INTRODUCTION -- The Curious History of an Icon -- CHAPTER 1 -- CHAPTER 2 -- CHAPTER 3 -- CHAPTER 4 -- CHAPTER 5 -- CHAPTER 6 -- CHAPTER 7 -- Did the Secret Government Fear a U.S. Muslim/Overseas Muslim Alliance? -- CHAPTER 8 -- CHAPTER 9 -- The Break Between the Prophet and his Disciple -- CHAPTER 10 -- CHAPTER 11 -- CHAPTER 12 -- The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time): Ali or Louis? -- CHAPTER 13 -- The Nation of Islam, the Mob, Showdowns in Canada and Sonny Liston -- CHAPTER 14 -- CHAPTER 15 -- The Taunts: Marketing or Racism? -- CHAPTER 16 -- CHAPTER 17 -- CHAPTER 18 -- CHAPTER 19 -- Boxing and the Brain -- CHAPTER 20 -- Ali's Feet -- CHAPTER 21 -- Mr. Dick -- CHAPTER 22 -- CHAPTER 23 -- The Opening Ceremonies, November 2005 -- CHAPTER 24 -- December 2005, Las Vegas -- CHAPTER 25 -- CHAPTER 26 -- June 16, 2004 -- CHAPTER 27 -- CHAPTER 28 -- CHAPTER 29 -- Aix-en-Provence -- CHAPTER 30 -- Ali as a Black Nationalist -- San Francisco, January 2004 Black Liberation Book Fair -- CHAPTER 31 -- January 31, 2004 -- CHAPTER 32 -- October 2005, Chicago -- CHAPTER 33 -- Why Ali remained with Elijah instead of following Malcolm -- CHAPTER 34 -- CHAPTER 35 -- February 4, 2006, Oakland, California -- CHAPTER 36 -- Like Zeus Descending from Mount Olympus -- CHAPTER 37 -- CHAPTER 38 -- Tuesday, February 28, 2006, New York -- CHAPTER 39 -- Bigger Than Boxing -- CHAPTER 40 -- Tribes Gallery, New York, April 2006 -- CHAPTER 41 -- June 2006, Louisville, Kentucky -- CHAPTER 42 -- CHAPTER 43 -- CHAPTER 45 -- Bad Company -- CHAPTER 46 -- Coxson, A Very Charming Rogue -- CHAPTER 47 -- Ali and the largest embezzlement scheme in Wells Fargo history -- CHAPTER 48 -- CHAPTER 49 -- "Lonnie is a stabilizing force."-Harry Belafonte -- October 29, 2006 -- CHAPTER 50 -- Abdul Rahman -- CHAPTER 51 -- CHAPTER 52 -- CHAPTER 53How Will Ali Be Remembered?

Type depositories: The holotype is housed in the ZSM, paratypes in MR. Etymology: The name refers to A. Klimenko who collected the only known specimens of the species. Diagnosis: Possibly a member of the O. mocsaryi species group. Distinguished from the other known members of the aggregate by the very densely and partly rugulose face in combination with the obtuse pleurosternal angles, which are situated distinctly anterior to the sternal angles. Description: Fore wing length 12.5‒13 mm. Body length 14‒15 mm. Antenna with 48‒54 flagellomeres. Temple narrowed behind compound eyes, in lateral view about 0.4 × as long as compound eye in female and male. Space between compound eye and lateral ocellus narrow, about 0.1‒0.2 × the diameter of ocellus in female and male. Occipital carina centrally evenly rounded. Face below antennal sockets shagreened with very dense punctures that partly form rugulose sculpture (Fig. 13E). Malar space narrow about 0.2 × as long as mandibular base in female and male (Fig. 13C). Mandibular gape acute, without internal angles, as in O. slaviceki Kriechbaumer. Antennae stout, first flagellomere 3.0 × as long as wide. Central flagellomeres stout, about 1.2‒1.4 × as long as wide. Apical flagellomeres approximately 1.4 × as long as wide. Mesoscutum strongly polished, virtually without puctures. Mesopleuron weakly shagreened with punctures quite dense, space between punctures about equal to their diameter. Epicnemial carina, in antero-ventral view, with pleurosternal angles strongly obtuse and indistinct, distinctly anterior to sternal angles (Fig. 13D). Scutellum without lateral carinae. Propodeum with the anterior transverse carina in some specimens forming an arcuate lobe centrally, with very weak rugulose sculpture, opaque. Posterior transverse carina indicated laterally (Fig. 13B). Propodeum polished, anterior to anterior transverse carina with distinct scarce puncture. Carination ranging from almost complete with only the posterior carina adjacent to area supeomedia absent to having the posterior carina and the lateral parts of the anterior transverse carina absent. Sclerotised part of first sternite ending posterior to spiracle. Hind trochantellus shorter than wide in dorsal view. Hind femur slender, about 8.0 × as long as wide. Inner spur of hind tibia long, about 0.5 × as long as hind metatarsus. Wing membrane clear. Ramellus absent or short, reaching 0.3 × the width of the discosubmarginal cell. Radius weakly sinuous, almost straight before junction with pterostigma. Nervellus broken below the middle by the discoidella. Colouration: Body testaceous. Inner and outer eye margins yellow. Mandibular teeth black. ovipositor sheath dark brown, contrasting in colour with posterior metasomal segments. DNA Barcode: The DNA barcode sequences of two specimens of Ophion klimenkoi sp. nov. are available at the BOLD systems database: sample id. NJP631/632, sequence id. LNU2467-21/2468-21. Remarks: A member of the O. mocsaryi -aggregate most closely related to Ophion rostralis, from which it shows a minimum sequence divergence of 1.79%.Published as part of Johansson, Niklas, Ameri, Ali, Riedel, Matthias, Talebi, Ali Asghar & Ebrahimi, Ebrahim, 2021, Contribution to the Ophioninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) of Iran with the description of 16 new species and an illustrated key to the Eremotylus of the Western Palaearctic, pp. 151-206 in Zootaxa 5023 (2) on pages 177-179, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5023.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/522565
