    violacea Fixsen, 1887 Figs 17, 18 Thyatira Violacea Fixsen, 1887, Mémoires sur les lépidoptères 3: 352, pl. 15, fig. 11. Type locality: [Korea]. In Laszlo & al. (2007: 202) “Pung Tun a ” [misspelling of Pung Tung] was fixed as the type locality for the species after designation of the lectotype. According to Fixsen (1887: 243), Pung Tung was a small village with ca. 12–15 huts situated in a tight river valley 102 English miles NE from Seoul and 129 NE from Chemulpoo at an altitude of about 1700 ft a.s.l. (fig. 23). Present status: Cymatochrocis violacea (Fixsen, 1887): Habrosynini. Taxonomic remarks: Traditionally has been considered a member of the genus Habrosyne s. lat.; Cymatochrocis is thus its subgenus or a separate genus. We follow the second point of view. Nomenclatural notes: The type series was collected in the period from 10 to 18 August [1884]; the number of syntypes was not specified. 5 specimens in ZISP originate from O. Herz’s material collected by him from Pung- Tung, but only 2 of them (♂♂: cabinet 217/drawer 6) correspond to the period given in the original description. A male specimen which was designated a lectotype by our colleagues (László & al. 2007: 202) was collected on 18 August 1884 and bears the following labels: a white off quadrat with wide black frame and inscription with black ink “ ♂ | Pung | Tung” and on thereverse “18/6 8. 84 | Herz”, a white rectangle with printed «Колл. Вел. Кн. | НиколаЯ | Михайловича», red (black framed) quadrat with the printed text “ LECTOTYPUS | Thyatira violacea | Fixsen, 1887 | Designated by Gy. M. | László, G. Ronkay and | L. Ronkay, 2001”, a red rectangle “ SYNTYPUS ♂ | Habrosyne | violaceae [sic!] Fixsen”, a narrow blue rectangle with printed “ex coll. | Zool. Inst. Acad. Sci. | St.Petersburg, Russia ”, a wide white rectangle with narrow black frame and printed text “ Habrosyne | violacea | (Fixsen, 1887) | det. Gy. M. László & G. | Ronkay, 2001”, and white rectangle with printed “gen. prep. No. | LG 1667 M”. Another male labeled “10. 8. 84 | 29. 7. Herz” from the collection of the Grand Duke Nikolay Mikhailovich should be considered a paralectotype of the species. Further topotypes originated from the same series but were collected on “27. 7. 84 | 15 Herz | Coll. Alph. ” (♂); “7. 8. 84 | 20. 7. | Herz” (♂); “ Coll. Alph. | 5. 8. 84 | Herz” (♀). These dates do not correspond to the original de- scription and these specimens thus must be excluded from the syntype series; two of them arrived in ZISP at a later date with the S. Alphéraky collection. Two further specimens were designated with red labels by Gy.M. László, G. Ronkay and L. Ronkay in 2001 as paralectotypes and syntypes of the taxon. The female is labeled: “ Korea ” and “к. Ершова” [Erschoff’s collection] and the male: “ Korea | Jankowsky” and «Колл. Вел. Кн. | НиколаЯ | Михайловича»; neither has any connection with Fixsen’s type series and both must be also excluded from the original syntype series.Published as part of Mironov, Vladimir G. & Zolotuhin, Vadim V., 2019, Types of Thyatirinae (Lepidoptera: Drepanidae) in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, pp. 145-154 in Zootaxa 4615 (1) on pages 152-153, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4615.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/399542

    Habrosyne violacea (Fixsen, 1887) Thyatira violacea Fixsen, 1887: 352, pl. 15, fig. 11. Type-locality: Korea. Lectotype ♂ (ZRAS). Remarks. Werny (1966) named 5 subspecies which were all treated as synonyms by Laszlo et al. (2007), and only the nominate subspecies and the subsp. argenteipuncta Hampson, 1893 were recognised. But Laszlo et al. (2007) wrongly marked Habrosyne violacea argenteipuncta Hampson, 1893 as “stat. nov.” and “comb. nov.”. In fact, Zhao (2004) had already treated it as a subspecies; since its original combination of the name argenteipuncta is with the genus Habrosyne, neither is there any change of status.Published as part of Jiang, Nan, Yang, Chao, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2015, An updated checklist of Thyatirinae (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae) from China, with descriptions of one new species, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 3941 (1) on page 28, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3941.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28820

    Assessing the Utility of Fixsen et al.'s Model: A Test of Concept Study

    No full text
    Background: Improving the effect of evidence based programs (EBP) has great public health relevance. Improving implementation strategies is a good way to enhance the effect of EBP's. This paper is a test of concept study that assesses the utility of Fixsen et al.'s implementation model to research implementation. Fixsen et al.'s model consists of seven implementation drivers proposed to be relevant and important to the successful implementation of an EBP. An organization deemed to have successfully implemented an EBP was used to examine the relevance of Fixsen et al.'s implementation model.Results: All seven implementation drivers, as proposed by Fixsen et al., were identified within the organization that has successfully implemented an EBP.Discussion: It was determined by this test of concept study that Fixsen et al.'s model was useful and relevant to the research of implementation.Conclusion: Fixsen et al.'s model of implementation provided a logical and strategic framework on which to approach implementation research. There is still much work to be done to assess the validity and utility of this model. Likewise, there is still much research to be done in implementation science in order to more clearly determine what components and strategies are important to successful implementation and what are not

    Implementer Perspectives: The Implementation of a School-Based Mentoring Program

    No full text
    This research describes organizational level implementation strategies utilized in piloting enhancements to the school-based mentoring program from Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Semi-structured interviews (n=15) with lead agency implementers along with conference call meeting notes were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Findings yield a description of the challenges to implementation and strategies to overcome these challenges, formal implementation strategies engaged in, and the extent to which these align with an implementation framework put forth by Klein, Conn, and Sorra (2001) with supplement from Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, and Wallace (2005). Findings from this study indicate that financial resources, management support, implementation climate and select implementation policies and practices are important to attend to during the implementation of a school-based mentoring program. Additionally, organizational readiness for change and organizational climate should be attended to before program implementation. Implementation strategies identified through this research help to define important organizational factors that drive the implementation of school-based mentoring programs

Sephisa dichroa: Korshunov and Gorbunov, 1995: 71 (nec Kollar, [1844]). Subspecies. The Korean populations are considered to belong to the nominal subspecies. Adult. Active from late June to early September (one brood). Adults inhabit groves of oak trees near streams. Males are often encountered on the ground or on rocks near streams and are attracted to decomposing organisms or fermenting fluids, especially fluxes issuing from oak trees. In the afternoon, they move to mountain peaks or ridges to sit on oak trees and engage in hilltopping. Females are rarely seen as they spend much time around the crowns of tall deciduous trees, but they are sometimes attracted to fermenting sap fluid of trees or on shrubs near streams. Neither sex visits flowers. Mating occurs on the leaves of the food trees. Females lay eggs only inside rolled leaves. See Sohn (1995). Larval host plants. Various species of the genus Quercus of the Fagaceae: Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb., Quercus variabilis Blume, Quercus serrata Thunb. ex Murray, Quercus acutissima Carruth. for. acutissima, etc. (Sohn 1995). Life cycle. Eggs are laid in batches of 15–45 inside rolled leaves of the host plants. The 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd instars hide in clusters inside rolled leaves. The 3 rd instar larvae usually hibernate in the same manner. See Sohn (1995). Distribution. Korea (including some adjacent islands of Incheon and Gyeonggi-do, but uncertain on Jejudo Is.), China and Far Eastern Russia. Remarks. This species has sometimes been treated as a subspecies of Sephisa dichroa which occurs in the Himalayas, including northern India, Pakistan and Nepal. The two entities are allopatric divided by a considerable geographic distance. As indicated by Masui and Inomata (1994), Chou (1994), Dantchenko et al. (1996) and Tuzov et al. (2000), S. princeps is appropriately treated as an independent species.Published as part of Lee, Young June, 2009, Apaturinae (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) from the Korean Peninsula: Synonymic Lists and Keys to Tribes, Genera and Species, pp. 1-20 in Zootaxa 2169 on page 13, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18916
