(DBUC); 1 ♀, same locality, 27.XI.2018, trap 7, G. Nicolosi leg. (DBUC). Description. Male: Length 1.25–1.30 mm, apterous and anophthalmous. Entirely pale brown with lighter antennae, palpi, and legs. Pubescence consists of long and flattened setae (length: 0.07–0.08 mm) on head, pronotum, elytra and abdomen, other suberect shorter setae (length: 0.03–0.04 mm) on antennae, and legs, and thin fluff on apical segment of maxillary palpi. Head (Figs. 6–7) wider (0.30 mm) than long (0.235–0.240 mm) slightly narrower than pronotum. Frontal lobe wider (0.15 mm) than long (0.075 mm) with subparallel, protruding and sharp sides; antennal tubercle protruding. Frons between antennal tubercles with large median sulcus reaching the anterior edge of vertexal foveae. Sides of frontal region with some punctures. Clypeal carina well-defined, equally visible in dorsal as well in lateral view, extends to ocular region. Tempora rounded, convex occipital region traversed by median longitudinal sulcus reaching over posterior edge of vertexal foveae, late wide and well-impressed. Gular region (Figs 8–9) behind labium with deep and broad impression margined posteriorly by transverse ridge projecting on each side of head. This ridge with long and acute median process, projecting ventrally, and bearing tuft of setae on the tip. Base of the gular region with two long and sturdy medians bristles. Antennae (Fig. 10) 0.635–0.640 mm long, scape more than 3.5 times longer (0.175–0.185 mm) than wide (0.05 mm), narrowed and flattened with protruding and sharp medial margin in basal third, wider in middle. Pedicel ovoid, slightly asymmetric, about one and a half times longer than wide, slightly tighter than scape, and distinctly wider than funicular segments. Antennomere III longer than wide and slightly narrowed at base; antennomere IV as long as wide, antennomere V longer than wide, antennomeres VI–VII subequal and as long as wide, antennomere VIII wider than long. Antennal club consisting of last three antennomeres which are broaden progressively from IX to XI. Antennomere IX slightly wider than long, antennomere X distinctly wider than long, antennomere XI distinctly longer than wide and twice as long as combined length of antennomeres IX and X. Maxillary palpi with palpomere II elongated and gradually expanded from base to apex, its surface covered by 4–6 tubercles concentrated in the distal portion. Palpomere III slightly longer than wide, its surface with 2–3 tubercles; last palpomere about 4 times as long (0.24 mm) as wide (0.06 mm), widest in basal third, lateral margin slightly curved and sinuate in middle. Pronotum slightly wider (0.31 mm) than long (0.30 mm), widest near basal third, anteriorly slightly tapered with sinuates sides, posteriorly more tapered with straight sides. Its dorsal surface shiny with some rare and fain punctures. Pleural carina oblique, well-defined. Two well impressed antebasal lateral fovea linked by the antebasal sulcus. Tegument between pronotal posterior margin and antebasal sulcus rough, it makes difficult to recognize median antebasal fovea. Metaventrite with median egg-shaped impression beginning from its posterior margin and extending just before mesocoxal cavities, and bearing for its entire length a median longitudinal carina. Base of mesocoxal cavities with pubescent pit on each side. Elytra distinctly wider (0.55 mm) than long (0.49 mm), convex, sides slightly rounded from base to the apex, widest near middle. Humeral calli strongly reduced. Dorsal surface shiny with only some superficial punctures. Each elytron with two basal foveae, subhumeral fovea well-defined. Both, marginal and sutural striae reaching elytral apex, discal striae lacking. Abdomen normally shaped without particular characters. Legs relatively long and thin. Protrochanters with 1–2 tubercles on ventral surface, protibiae slightly flattened and sinuate in distal third, tarsomere II of protarsi slightly dilated. Meso and metatrochanters simple; femora simple, mesotibiae simple, length of metatibiae: 0.45–0.46 mm, slightly enlarged and sinuate in the distal third. Aedeagus (Fig. 12) 0.24–0.25 mm long, ovoid with relatively short parameres, that are convergent and with narrow apex, each bearing two subapical setae. Internal sac with 2 big and long teeth and 3 smaller spines. Female: Similar to male (Fig. 5), length 1.25–1.45 mm, head slightly wider (0.25–0.26 mm) than long (0.23– 0.24 mm), gular region unmodified, slightly convex. Maxillary palpi with surface of palpomere II covered by 12– 16 tubercles (Fig. 11). Metaventrite lacking median impression; legs with protibiae, tarsomere II of protarsi, and metatibiae unmodified. Telisternite as in Fig. 13. Discussion. T. villasmundi sp. nov. differs from all other Tychobythinus species by its aedeagal and exoskeleton features. However, it shows affinities with Tychobythinus species from North Africa which belong to two distinct groups (Sabella et al. 2014). Since their external morphology is closely related to their biology, it is not necessary they really represent two homogeneous phyletic lineages. The aedeagus of T. villasmundi sp. nov. is comparable with the species belonging to the Tychobythinus algiricus group (Sabella et al. 2014; Chiasmatobythus sensu Jeannel 1956), especially to T. algiricus (Raffray 1871), which is widespread in the Maghreb (Tunisia, northern Algeria and Morocco). However, all the species in this group are macro or microphthalmous, whereas T. villasmundi is anophthalmous. Because of troglobitic adaptations, T. villasmundi can be also compared with the species belonging to the Tychobythinus theryi group (Sabella et al. 2013; Anopsibythus sensu Jeannel 1956) and, especially with the wingless and eyeless T. theryi (Guillebeau 1894), known only from three females from Saint Charles (northern Algeria), and T. normandi (Jeannel 1956), which is known only from a single male from Philippeville (old name of Skikda) in northern Algeria. Tychobythinus villasmundi sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from T. theryi by its shiny tegument of dorsal surface (slightly but distinctly punctuate in T. theryi), the wider frontal lobe (0.15 mm in T. villasmundi sp. nov. versus 0.125–0.13 mm in T. theryi), longer antennae (0.63–0.64 mm in T. villasmundi sp. nov., versus 0.55–0.56 mm in T. theryi), and by the presence of less tubercles on the palpomere II (12–16 in T. villasmundi sp. nov. against 24–30 in T. theryi). Tychobythinus villasmundi sp. nov. differs from T. normandi mainly by the features on the tempora (rounded in Tychobythinus villasmundi, angulated and dug in T. normandi). From both species the new species differs by the structure of aedeagus.Published as part of Sabella, Giorgio, Amore, Elena & Nicolosi, Giuseppe, 2019, A new troglobitic Tychobythinus from Sicily (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae), pp. 379-386 in Zootaxa 4567 (2) on pages 382-385, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4567.2.10, http://zenodo.org/record/259490

Antennae (Fig. 12) a little shorter (length: 0.63-0.64 mm) and with sligthly thinner antennomeres than in male; surface of palpomere II covered by 10–14 tubercles, anterior sides of pronotum narrower than in male. Metaventrite lacking median impression; legs with protibiae, tarsomere II of protarsi, and metatibiae unmodified. Telisternite as in Fig. 16. Discussion. Tychobythinus inopinatus sp. nov. differs from all other congeneric species by its aedeagal and exoskeletal features. It shares affinities with Tychobythinus villasmundi Sabella, Amore, Nicolosi, 2019, however it differs from the latter in numerous characters: antennal scape more than 4 times longer than wide (less than 4 times longer than wide for T. villasmundi); last palpomere about 5 times longer than wide, with lateral margin distinctly curved and sinuate at middle (about 4 times longer than wide with lateral margin slightly curved and sinuate at middle for T. villasmundi), different shape of gular ridge of male (cfr. Figs 10–11 with Figs 8–9 in Sabella et al. 2019), aedeagus with different apical morphology of the parameres, which are not narrowed in T. inopinatus sp. nov., and are distinctly narrowed in T. villasmundi (cfr. Fig. 14 with Fig. 12 in Sabella et al. 2019), and differences of the internal sac (cfr. Figs 14–15 with Fig. 12 in Sabella et al. 2019). Like T. villasmundi, T. inopinatus sp. nov. shares affinities to the congeneric species from North Africa which belong to two distinct groups (Sabella et al. 2014). However, they do not represent, with certainty, two homogeneous phyletic lineages because their external morphology is closely related to their different levels of adaptation to endogean life. The aedeagus of T. inopinatus sp. nov. is comparable to the species belonging to the Tychobythinus algiricus group (Sabella et al. 2014; Chiasmatobythus sensu Jeannel 1956), due to their troglobitic adaptations. T. inopinatus sp. nov. is externally close to the species belonging to the Tychobythinus theryi group (Sabella et al. 2013; Anopsibythus sensu Jeannel 1956). Among the material examined we also found a female collected in Monello Cave, 06.VI.2019, trap 13, G. Nicolosi leg. (DBUC), with only 10 antennomeres, and with antennomere VI distinctly longer than wide, which is probably derived from the fusion of antennomers VI and VII. This specimen has been excluded from the type series. Finally, it seems interesting to underline that the previous research conducted inside Monello Cave in 1991 (Caruso 1995), which used the same collection techniques, did not produce any specimens of the new species. On the contrary, our investigation that began on 11 January 2019 and is still in progress allowed us to collect, in addition to the species relieved in the previous study, 18 specimens (2 males and 16 females) of the new species of Tychobythinus in various areas of the cave, but only during the period from August to December 2019. This fact could be explained considering that the ecological conditions inside the cave have improved signifi- cantly in the last thirty years, probably in relation to the implemented strict conservation measures, but the factors driving this change certainly deserve further study (with a careful comparison of the environmental data emerged from the study conducted in 1991 and in 2019), which however goes beyond the purpose of this article. A simpler explanation can be provided by the different sampling periods for the two research programs: research in 1991 covered the period January–July, while our research program, still in progress, covered the entire year of 2019, with collection of the new species happening between August and December, a period not covered by the previous research program.Published as part of Sabella, Giorgio, Costanzo, Salvatore & Nicolosi, Giuseppe, 2020, Tychobythinus inopinatus, a new troglobitic species from Sicily (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae), pp. 273-281 in Zootaxa 4779 (2) on pages 276-280, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4779.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/383358

No full textThe heritage of ancient Greek lyric has been lately enriched thanks to some substantial fragments of texts up to now totally or sometimes partially unknown. As often happens, such recent discoveries both confirmed what we already knew about Archilochus and Sappho and, on the other hand, led to some unexpected and remarkable news.
As for Archilochus, the conspicuous fragmentary text preserved by P. Oxy. 4708 fr. 1 obliges us to reconsider not only some peculiar features of Archilochus’ elegiac production, but also the possible presence of biotic and mythic aspects.
Speaking for Sappho, three new papyrus scraps – P. Köln 21351 +
21376 – contain the relics of three different poems, two of which belonging to Sappho while the third is with all certainty not Sapphic.
The purpose of this paper is to point out some of the most relevant
textual and exegetic features of such new fragments and to clear up some of the many problems related to each text
