Protaetia fausti Kraatz
No full text<i>Protaetia fausti</i> (Kraatz): history and identity <p> The name <i>Cetonia floricola fausti</i> Kraatz, 1891 was proposed as a variety of <i>Cetonia floricola</i> (Herbst, 1790) (= <i>Protaetia</i> (<i>Potosia</i>) <i>metallica</i> (Herbst, 1782)), based on a single specimen originating from the “Caucasus” (without exact locality data) collected by J. Faust (Kraatz 1891). Reitter (1899) and Olsoufieff (1916) cited <i>Protaetia fausti</i> as variety of <i>Potosia cuprea</i> (Fabricius, 1775), reporting it for “Russian Armenia ”, and in Winkler (1929) classified it as a subspecies with the distribution in “ Armenia ”. In his revision of Palearctic <i>Potosia</i> Mulsant & Rey, 1870, Mikšič (1961) considered <i>P. cuprea</i> as a single polytypic species, dividing it into 16 subspecies. The name <i>Protaetia fausti</i> was not mentioned in this work.</p> <p> In his monograph of flower chafers of the fauna of the Soviet Union, Medvedev (1964) classified several forms of <i>P. cuprea</i> complex as separate species. One of these names was <i>Potosia fausti</i>, for which he described specimens at his disposal that had originated from southwestern Georgia (Borzhomi) and northwestern Armenia (Leninakannow Gyumri). Mikšič (1966a, 1966b) did not accept Medvedev’s classification and as before considered <i>P. cuprea</i> as a single polytypic species.</p> <p> Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1967), in a footnote comment on <i>Netocia</i> (<i>Potosia</i>) <i>cuprea</i> (footnote pp. 212–213), citedthe classifications of both of Medvedev and Mikšič, but favored the latter. However, in the species treatment of <i>N. cuprea</i>, he classified all the names relating to the Armenian fauna as synonyms (<i>P. metallica, P. fausti,</i> <i>P. splendidula</i> (Faldermann, 1835), <i>P. hieroglyphica</i> (Ménétries, 1832), <i>P. cuprina</i> (Motschulsky, 1849), <i>P. caucasica</i> (Kolenati, 1845)).</p> <p> Rataj (1986) used the description of Medvedev (1964) to identify a small series of specimens from central Armenia (Garni near Yerevan) as <i>P. fausti</i>. Rataj (1986) briefly described this taxon and illustrated the male genitalia for the first time. The general distribution of the taxon was given according Medvedev (southwest Georgia and southwest Armenia). Later Rataj (1998) included the neighboring part of northern Turkey in the distribution of the species, but the brief description and photograph he used in this publication were based on his material from central Armenia (“Garni and Geghard”). This concept of the species and the usage of the name <i>P. fausti</i> was accepted by Baraud (1992) and Krajcik (1999).</p> <p> Finally, in both editions of Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (Smetana 2006; Bezděk 2016), <i>P.</i> (<i>Potosia</i>) <i>fausti</i> is classified following Rataj (1986, 1998) as distinct species distributed in Armenia, Georgia, and Asian Turkey.</p> <p> It must be stressed that none of these authors except Mikšič (and possibly Reitter) studied the holotype of <i>P. fausti</i>. Mikšič (1987) briefly re-described the holotype and came to the conclusion that <i>P. fausti</i> was a color form of <i>P. cuprea splendidula</i>.</p> <p> Through the kindness of Dr. Stephan Blank and Mr. Lutz Behne (SDEI), we have studied photographs of the <i>P. fausti</i> holotype (Holotype, ♀: Caucas.[us] (h) / var. Fausti mihi, 90, aurei### luic### imaculata (h, Kraatz’ hand) / subfus. med. purp. (h) / coll. Kraatz (p) / ab. fausti Kr. (h) / TYPUS (p, on red paper) (Fig. 9). Our study of the holotype images allowed us to support opinion of Mikšič (1987) that name <i>P. fausti</i> must be a junior synonym of <i>Protaetia</i> (<i>Potosia</i>) <i>splendidula</i> <i>.</i> Clarification of the taxonomic status of species and associated synonyms requires a review of specimens from across the distribution, which is the subject of a separate work.</p> <p> Our examination of figures from Rataj (1986, 1998), photographs of the specimens mentioned by Medvedev, specimens from the IZAY collection, and several specimens recently collected in Armenia revealed that the name <i>Protaetia fausti</i>, in the erroneous current usage, actually applies to two distinct species. One of the species is distributed in northeastern Turkey, and has already been described as <i>P. jelineki</i> (Petrovitz, 1981). No name is available for the second species so it is described below as a new species.</p>Published as part of <i>Ghrejyan, Tigran & Kalashian, Mark, 2017, A new species of Protaetia Burmeister, 1842 from Armenia with taxonomic notes on Cetonia floricola fausti Kraatz, 1891 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), pp. 100-106 in Zootaxa 4231 (1)</i> on pages 101-102, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4231.1.6, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/311793">http://zenodo.org/record/311793</a>

Analogical method, experiment and didacticism in the hippocratic treatises generation/nature of the child/diseases 4
No full textThis essay suggests three different levels at which the text may be analysed. In it, the notion of analogy is used in a strictly technical sense, to refer to the means of parallelism between a known phenomenon and another that must be explained, with the consequent possibility of inferring the latter from the former. The first level of analysis consists in the examination of some important comparisons, which the author treats as verification of the applicability of the analogical method. The second level rests in considering the great attention that is paid to empirical observation from a medical point of view, which produces attempts at experimental research. Finally, there is a didactic aim, since the author presents his observations for those who wish to know the subject and accept the evidence, availing himself of a sound organizational structure (continually referring to what he has already said or what he will later explain) and numerous rhetorical devices

Evaluation of Nastus fausti Reitter (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae: Nastini) for biological control of invasive giant hogweeds (Heracleum spp.)
Full text linkThe weevil Nastus fausti Reitter (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) was evaluated for its potential in the biological control of invasive giant hogweeds (Heracleum spp.). Quantitative sampling suggested that at a high population density (more that 3–4 mature larvae per plant) damage by N. fausti larvae could have some negative impact on the above-ground part of the plant. However, no-choice laboratory tests showed that N. fausti females were able to feed on a number of Apiaceae genera, including such important cultivated crops as carrot, parsnip, and celeriac. Feeding on these plants did not cause any significant decrease in female survival or fecundity. Moreover, at least part of N. fausti larvae may feed and develop on roots of these plants, and the rate of their growth and development does not differ significantly from that in larvae fed on roots of H. mantegazzianum. N. fausti adult and larval feeding on Angelica purpurascens, representative of related genus of the same tribe, was recorded under natural conditions, too. In combination, these data suggest that N. fausti is an oligophagous species connected with plants from at least several genera of Apiaceae and thus it cannot be considered a potential agent for biological control of invasive Heracleum species
CERTIFICAZIONE ENERGETICA ED ACUSTICA: QUADRO NORMATIVO E STATO DI APPLICAZIONE
No full textIl termine “certificazione”, può assumere diverse connotazioni a seconda dello specifico settore di interesse, energetico o acustico, ma nella sua accezione più ampia prevede una serie di procedure tecniche e amministrative definite da apposite normative tecniche, atte a garantire specifiche prestazioni dell’edificio o di suoi componenti, e che si conclude con un documento (il certificato) che ne attesta il risultato finale. Sebbene l’attuale normativa nazionale preveda in realtà solo l’obbligo della certificazione energetica degli edifici, anche nel settore dell’acustica edilizia troviamo delle procedure che prevedono di garantire le prestazioni finali coinvolgendo non solo la fase di progettazione, ma anche quella di realizzazione con controllo finale del risultato sulla base sia di documentazione relativa al progetto sia delle proprietà dei materiali utilizzati, anche tramite la verifica della corretta posa in opera dei materiali ed eventuali collaudi final

Body moderately elongated, dorsal-ventrally compressed (Fig. 1). Males and females do not differ. Aedeagus as in Fig. 3. Heterocerus fausti is similar in body form and drawing of elytra on Heterocerus parallelus but can be easily distinguished by the shape of its aedeagus (Fig. 4A–B) and smaller size. Redescription. Color. Ground color is yellow or red-yellow; a combination of black-brown blotches on the pronotum, and brown blotches of elytra and abdomen form a characteristic pattern. Head and labrum are black-brown. Antennae completely yellow. Pronotum is black-brown with a more or less wide yellow edging on the sides and narrow yellow stripe along the front edge. Scutellum is black-brown. Drawing of elytra characteristic of flexuosus species-group sensu Charpentier (1965). Yellow pattern of each elytron normally forms edging, S-shaped basal mark, M-shaped medial mark, apical spot and suture stripe. Dark pattern of the elytra brownish almost blending with the yellow background. Prosternum black-brown with yellow episternae and yellowish front margin. Mesepisternum and metepisternum blackbrown. Abdomen black-brown with yellow pattern in form of edging. Legs, except dark metacoxa, yellow. Head. Clypeus transversal, widely incised on the front edge. Antennae 11-segmented with 7-segment club. Hairs whitish. Puncturing uniform. Thorax. Pronotum not bordered basally; slightly narrower or comparable in width with base of elytra in females, and slightly wider than elytra base in males. Hairs on the disc are double: comprise dense, short, pressed, and long and standing hairs; whitish. Puncturing very dense, fine and uniform. Elytra covered with erect hairs; hair length is comparable with the length of few first spines of mesotibia; hairs slightly longer along sides and near the elytral apex; hairs whitish. Legs of structure typical for family, covered with whitish hairs. Claws of tarsus noticeably longer or equal to the last tarsomere (Fig. 2). Abdomen. Abdomen covered with whitish hairs. Postmetacoxal lines absent. Remarks. The records of Heterocerus fausti for Uzbekistan (Jacobson, 1913; Zaitsev, 1946) are not confirmed. Specimen from Uzbekistan (Qamashi) signed of F.A. Zaitsev as “ Heterocerus fausti ” is Heterocerus heydeni Kuwert, 1890. Ecology. The long claws are probably an adaptation to the psammophilous way of life. Distribution. Pre-Caspian Region including Caucasus: Azerbaijan, West Turkmenistan (Fig. 5).Published as part of Sazhnev, Alexey S., 2018, Redescription of Heterocerus fausti Reitter, 1879, bona species (Coleoptera, Heteroceridae), pp. 597-600 in Zootaxa 4441 (3) on pages 597-600, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4441.3.12, http://zenodo.org/record/130156
