Savannychapis Freitas 2022, New genus
No full textSavannychapis Freitas New genus Type species: Gaesischia interrupta Urban 1989c [p. 90] Diagnosis: The genus Savannychapis is easily recognizable among the remaining Neotropical genera closely related to Gaesischia (Dasyhalonia Michener, LaBerge and Moure, Florilegus Robertson, Gaesochira Moure and Michener, Hamatothrix Urban, Micronychapis Moure and Michener, Pachysvastra Moure and Michener, Platysvastra Moure, Santiago Urban, and Svastrina Moure and Michener) by (i) the maxillary palpi with three palpomeres (Fig. 2-e); by the (ii) sixth sternum of males with a posterolateral carinae on each side of the median line, approaching, but neither attaining the apex of the sternum nor each other near the median line (Fig. 2-f); (iii) T6 without lateral parts elevated or forming tooths. Among Neotropical Eucerini, the only other genus with the combination of three or fewer palpomeres and carinae on S 6 in some of its species is Melissoptila Holmberg; however, the presence of elevations or tooths on the laterals parts of T6 is a diagnostic character for that genus together to the number of maxillary palpomeres, while Savannychapis lacks elevations on lateral parts of T6. Etymology: The name is a free combination of savanna in reference to the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna), where the type species seems to be endemic, plus the suffix - nychapis regarding its sister genus Micronychapis. Included species: Savannychapis interrupta (Urban 1989) comb. n. Distribution: This species seems to have a broad distribution in the domain of Cerrado (Brazilian savanna), with records in the Brazilian states of Bahia, Mato Grosso, and Minas Gerais.Published as part of Freitas, Felipe V., 2022, New genus and subgenus of South American long-horned bees (Apidae, Eucerini), pp. 595-600 in Zootaxa 5196 (4) on pages 596-597, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5196.4.8, http://zenodo.org/record/723582
Gaesischia (Gaesischioides) Freitas 2022, New subgenus
No full textGaesischia (Gaesischioides) Freitas New subgenus Type species: Eucera hyptidis Ducke 1910 [p. 93] Diagnosis: Gaesischia (Gaesischioides) hyptidis has five segmented maxillary palpi as in Gaesischia s. str. and G. (Gaesischiana), different from G. (Gaesischiopsis), which have four segmented maxillary palpi; the pilosity is predominantly pale in both sexes, in the remaining subgenera it is variable. Males: clypeus yellow; labrum black, generally with a small yellow/whitish area on its disc (Fig. 1-f); the sixth metasomal sternum with subapical carinae running parallel to posterior margin, broadly interrupted by the median line, and with a tuft of hairs on the disc (Fig. 1-e), these characters, in combination with those shared by both sexes, form a unique combination among the subgenera of Gaesischia. Females: clypeus black with a yellow triangular area on its apex (Fig. 1-b), which differentiates it from the remaining species of Gaesischia with five maxillary palpomerers and a yellow apical band on the clypeus. Etymology: The subgenus name is a free combination of the generic name (Gaesischia) and the Latin suffix -oides, which means resemblance or likeliness. Included species: Gaesischia (Gaesischioides) hyptidis (Ducke 1910). Distribution: The species was described by Ducke (1910) and redescribed by Urban (1968) based on specimens from the state of Ceará, Brazil. There are also records from the states of Sergipe and Rio Grande do Norte, suggesting that this species is associated with the Caatinga in northeastern Brazil. Comments: Gaesischia hyptidis, as highlighted in previous treatments of Gaesischia taxonomy, is a distinct species (Moure & Michener 1955). It was firstly positioned in the subgenus G. (Agaesischia) together with G. patellicornis, but with a caveat that this was a tentative decision (Moure & Michener 1955). It was later transferred to Gaesischia s. str. (Laberge 1958; Urban 1968a) but still retained under G. (Agaesischia) in Moure’s Catalog for Neotropical bee species (Urban et al. 2012). According to the results of Freitas et al. (in prep.), it is recovered as the sister lineage of the clade containing Gaesischia s. str. + G. (Gaesischiopsis), or as sister to G. (Gaesischiopsis), highlighting its distinctiveness, as already noticed by Moure & Michener (1955), when speculating on the possible proximity of G. hyptidis and G. (Gaesischiopsis). The easiness of identifying both males and females of G. hyptidis using the two identification keys available in the comprehensive reviews of Gaesischia conducted by Urban (1968, 1989c) reinforces the distinctiveness of this species.Published as part of Freitas, Felipe V., 2022, New genus and subgenus of South American long-horned bees (Apidae, Eucerini), pp. 595-600 in Zootaxa 5196 (4) on page 596, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5196.4.8, http://zenodo.org/record/723582
Thygater danunciae Freitas & Silveira, sp. n.
No full textThygater danunciae Freitas & Silveira sp. n. (Figs. 3.F; 7) Diagnosis. T. danunciae may be confused with male T. analis, from which it can be distinguished mainly by the hyaline wings, yellowish veins (brownish veins and amber wings in T. analis and all other closely related species— Fig. 5. D, E, F) and for the hyaline marginal zone on terga (Fig. 7. A; C) (amber-translucent in T. analis and all other species). Other differences are found on S7, especially on the base of the proximal lobe, which is longer in T. analis (Fig. 3.A) than in T. danunciae (Fig. 3.F) and in the genital capsule, with T. danunciae sp. n. having a much smaller mid projection in the anterior margin of the spata (Fig. 7.D) than T. analis (Fig. 5.G). Description. ♀: unknown. ♂ (holotype): Integument black, except: whitish-yellow on labrum and legs, especially on tarsi, hyaline on apex of marginal zone of all terga and of S1-S5; on head entirely reticulate, except around ocelli; on mesosoma reticulate and densely punctate (>1 dp), sparser (= 1 dp) on posterior half of mesoscutum; on metasoma strongly reticulate, especially on terga; terga finely and densely punctate (= 1 dp); translucent-amber areas on apex of marginal zones long on all terga (= twice as long as F1); on sterna still finer and sparse; smooth on marginal zone of all terga; translucent-amber areas on apex of marginal zone of S1–S5 longer than F1 length medially. Pilosity white on head, except dark grey on vertex; whitish on mesosoma, including legs; on metasoma predominantly white, black on disc of T2–T4; on sterna sparse on disc, forming medially-interrupted apical fringes on S2–S4; on S5 forming complete apical fringe; on S6 simple and short forming an hourglass-like patch on disc. Structure —malar area 2/3 as long as basal mandibular width; clypeus lightly convex on disc, with basal depression reaching 1/5 of clypeal length; T7 deeply emarginate, forming two flat triangular lobes; S5 without marginal projections; S6 lacking lateral or medial carinae. Variation and taxonomic notes: One of the examined specimens has completely yellow legs; however, leg color varies among legs of a same specimen and among specimens. Holotype ( ♂ ): “ Projeto Salinas—Sul American Metais Mineroduto 26064—76767” “ Salinas MG Brasil 20/01/2011, R.R.Ferrari ”. [UFMG]. The right, hind leg of the holotype was removed for DNA analysis.

Arte pública e paisagem urbana de Florianópolis, SC, Brasil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-graduação em Urbanismo, História e Arquitetura da CidadeEste volume de escritos faz parte de um processo de pesquisa que começou a tomar forma em fins de 2005 e que, dentre conexões possíveis, escolheu por percorrer algumas, referentes ao campo da Arte Pública, intensificando-se em seu recorte na cidade de Florianópolis, SC. A Arte Pública é aqui considerada não como um tipo - mas como um campo expandido das artes, configurando níveis de atuação. Permeando os espaços estriados e lisos da cidade, a Arte Pública apresenta a possibilidade de trabalhar no espaço do entre, atuando na paisagem cultural - do habitus e do caráter - da cidade. E, se uma obra de Arte Pública em si não consegue criar um lugar, ao menos pode oferecer a possibilidade de dotá-lo de caráter e significado, podendo ser trabalhada em diferentes níveis de atuação. Um destes níveis é sua gestão, por parte do poder público. No sentido do escrito acima, a escolha da cidade de Florianópolis torna-se justificada para um olhar mais atento às suas peculiaridades. Cidade de vistas panorâmicas espetaculares, apresenta uma rápida descaracterização de referenciais paisagísticos, que a está esvaziando de significados. Sua apropriação, de maneira devastadora, pelo forte mercado imobiliário, está ajudando a destruir sua geografia e paisagem natural. A gestão municipal de obras de arte em Florianópolis, capitaneada pela recente Comissão Municipal de Arte Pública, ainda se resume a uma única lei, que trata da inserção de obras de arte em edificações. Porém, um embrião de gestão e política urbana pode ser evidenciado. Esta dissertação discorre sobre a multiplicidade de ações concernentes ao campo da Arte Pública na cidade de Florianópolis, SC, com ênfase na questão da gestão municipal
Thygater Holmberg 1883
No full textGenus Thygater Holmberg 1883 Type species: Tetralonia terminata Smith 1854 (= Macrocera analis Lepeletier 1841) Diagnosis (unique synapomorphies for each group are in italics). Thygater belongs to a distinctive group, maybe a clade, of Neotropical eucerini genera, which can be recognized by the following set of characters (Michener 2007): Female—blade of galea at least 1.4 times as long as eye; mandible with condylar ridge expanded, at least as salient as external carina; labrum usually ¾ as long as wide; gradulus of S2 weakly biconvex; gradulus of T6 without teeth on apicolateral margin. Male—labrum at least ¾ as long as wide; clypeus strongly protuberant; clypeocular distance as long as minimum diameter of F1 or longer; inferior part of paraocular carina absent (indicated by a weak ridge in some species of Thygater); lateral portion of clypeus, paraocular area just above clypeus, paraocular area adjacent to clypeus and paraocular area adjacent to eye all in the same plane. Thygater can be differentiated from the other genera in this group by the following features: Female—clypeus entirely black, without a pair of divergent ridges; scape shorter than interantennal space, about twice as long as wide; F1 at least as long as scape; vertex without preoccipital carina. Male—antenna very long, but apical flagellomeres similar in diameter to basal ones, without row of long hairs; pygidial plate vestigial, merely indicated by lateral carinae; T7 with apical emargination delimiting two flat (round or triangular) lobes.Published as part of Freitas, Felipe V. & Silveira, Fernando A., 2017, Synopsis of the bee genus Thygater Holmberg 1884 (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, with the description of a new species and a key to all Brazilian species, pp. 1-29 in Zootaxa 4238 (1) on page 3, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4238.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/34498
Falar de si, falar de nós: performances constituindo feminilidades alternativas nos palcos brasileiros e chilenos durante as ditaduras militares
No full textDissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2011As décadas de ditadura militar no Brasil (1964-1985) e no Chile (1973-1990) foram palco para intensas mudanças políticas cuja abrangência alcançou a vida de um expressivo número de pessoas. Além da pesada especificidade ditatorial, esses países mencionados também lidavam, à época, com uma lógica dual de sociedade internacional, em que EUA ("capitalista") e URSS ("comunista") continuavam a lutar pela hegemonia global no contexto pós-II Guerra Mundial. Disputa (inter)planetária que, em contrapartida, se tornou cenário para a emergência de uma série de movimentos sociais - organizados no intuito de reivindicar direitos em prol de determinado grupo, resistir perante atrocidades cometidas pelo aparato estatal, propor novas estéticas artísticas, etc. Em meio a essa multiplicidade de grupos e propostas, os movimentos feministas, a partir da segunda metade do século XX, voltaram a se expandir e a se articular de maneira bem estruturada em muitos países, numa nova onda que ficou conhecida como Segunda Onda dos movimentos feministas. Agrupações formadas, em sua grande maioria, por mulheres que passaram a se utilizar das diversas mídias possibilitadas pela sociedade contemporânea, para propagandear as discussões feministas em voga. Dentre essas mídias, o teatro passou a ser uma poderosa ferramenta para o ativismo desses grupos. Esta dissertação consiste no estudo das práticas teatrais feministas em meio às realidades ditatoriais de dois países pertencentes à América Latina: Brasil e Chile - países que, a partir da chamada Segunda Onda dos Feminismos, foram palco para uma intensa transformação do "ser mulher"
Thygater tuberculata Urban 1967
No full textThygater tuberculata Urban 1967 Thygater (Nectarodiaeta) tuberculata Urban 1967; Urban, Moure & Melo 2012. Diagnosis. T. tuberculata (male) has four maxillary palpomeres and almost entirely fuscous pilosity. It can be easily distinguished by the following combination of characters: the hind basitarsus with apical margin project beyond articulation of 2nd tarsomere; the tubercle on the disc of S4 (absent in all other species) and by the tubercles on S6, one medially and another two laterally. Description ♀: unknown. ♂ (holotype): Integument black, except for reddish areas on mandibles, malar area, head, mesepisternum, legs and mesosoma, amber-translucent on apex of marginal zones; marginal zone of T1 with translucent amber area short, short as F1 length, marginal zone of T2 – T5 longer than F1. Pilosity fuscous, except white on head (except on small areas of vertex, paraocular areas and frons), apical margins of mesoscutum, T1 basally, yellowish on edges of T4 – T7; forming complet apical fringe on S4; on S5 forming lateral tufts; on S6 with dense plumose pilosity, especially on apex and on longitudinal line. Structure malar area about ½ as long as basal mandibular width; clypeus with mid-longitudinal elevation on disc, not forming a carina; its basal depression reaching 1/5 of clypeal length; hind basitarsus with apical margin project beyond articulation of 2nd tarsomere; apex of T7 shallowly emarginate, forming two broadly flat rounded lobes; S4 with a small discal tubercle; S5 with two marginal dentiform projections; S6 with a median and two lateral tubercles. Holotype (male): “holótipo” “Itatiaia; R. Janeiro—Brasil; Fevereiro 1959; W. Zikan” “ Thygater; tuberculata; D. Urban det. 67” [DZUP]—examined. Habitat: unknown. Additional material examined: none. Distribution in Minas Gerais: This species has not been recorded yet in the state. However, since it occurs in the Serra da Mantiqueira in the state of Rio de Janeiro, near the border of Minas Gerais, it seems reasonable to expect that it also occurs in similar environments in the southeastern region of this state.
