    Agroeca montana Hayashi, 1986 ( Figs. 1 - 4 ) Agroeca montana Hayashi, 1986, Proc. Japn. Soc. syst. Zool., 33: 24, figs. 1 - 10. Notes. This species was described by the author. He collected many specimens from the forest near the southeastern foot of Mt. Akagi. It may be possible that the female of A. coreana described by Namkung ( 1989 ) corresponds to that of A. montana.Published as part of Hayashi, Toshi, 1992, Three Species of the Genus Agroeca (Araneae: Clubionidae) from Japan, Including a New Species, pp. 133-137 in Acta Arachnologica 41 (2) on page 134, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.84867

    In this group of correspondence, Hector Haruo Hayashi, a national of Japan, who was living first in an internment camp in Idaho and later in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is owed money from the government of Peru. Hayashi's son, Jorge Hayashi writes on behalf of his father about this money. An official response is sent to both Hector and Jorge Hayashi regarding the payment.Collection of notes, articles, correspondence, photographs, and term papers collected by Yukio Mochizuki, a student at CSU Dominguez Hills, while researching Japanese American incarceration and Japanese Peruvian internment during World War II

    Geodromicus ohkurai (Hayashi, 1992) Psephidonus ohkurai Hayashi, 1992: 107 Psephidonus ohkurai yushanensis Hayashi, 1992: 110 syn. nov. Material. 1 ♀: TAIWAN, Kaohsiung Hsien, Crk. 4 km E Yakou, 2600 m. 23.VII. 1993. A. Smetana [T 162: Original mixed forest; specimen taken by sifting of wet moss from large rocks directly in a creek] (cSm). Remarks. Geodromicus ohkurai was split by the author in two subspecies, both from central Taiwan: “Mt. Houfuan, Nantou Hsien” (G. ohkurai ohkurai) and from “Mt. Yushan, Chiai Hsien” (G. ohkurai yushanensis). The subspecies G. ohkurai yushanensis, based on teneral specimens, was established solely on differences in the shape of the pronotum (see Hayashi 1992: 110 for details). These differences fall within intraspecific variability, as documented by the presence of the same variability in the shape of pronotum in many species of G eodromicus (e.g., see Shavrin 2015). Therefore, based on the above information, G. ohkurai yushanensis is put in synonymy with G. ohkurai (syn. nov.).Published as part of Smetana, Aleš, 2016, New species and records of the genus Geodromicus Redtenbacher, 1857 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Omaliinae) from Taiwan, pp. 591-599 in Zootaxa 4066 (5) on pages 597-598, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4066.5.7, http://zenodo.org/record/26647

    Hand-drawn ink on paperHayashi Shihei 林子平 (1738-1793)Forward by Katsuragawa Hoshū 桂川甫周 (1754-1809) and preface by Hayashi Shihei32 pages of color images Size: 6 7/16 x 9 7/16 in.Translation of title: Illustrated survey of three countriesSangoku tsūran zusetsu is an ethnographical and geographical study of Korea, the kingdom of Ryūkyū, Ezo (Hokkaidō), and the Ogasawara Islands. This 112 page manuscript depicts the people of the above areas, including their costumes, housing and the necessary implements for their sustenance, such as hunting devices. Hayashi Shihei, a samurai from the Mutsu domain, studied foreign affairs in the city of Nagasaki, the gateway for imported goods as well as foreign news and knowledge brought by Dutch and Chinese merchants. He became aware of the threat of Russia’s southward advancement and advocated for the importance of maritime security. Shihei hoped to increase awareness and to promote the knowledge of maritime security through the publication of Sangoku tsūran zusetsu, although the Shogun’s government banned the book in 1791. Like many other banned books related to such topics, including another work by Hayashi, Kaikoku heidan (discussion on maritime nations), Sangoku tsūran was often hand-copied, and circulated among people who shared his concerns regarding the future of Japan.

Macropterous male and female. Unknown. Etymology. The specific epithet “ lasiomma ” means hairy eyes. Diagnosis. Pseudovelia lasiomma sp. nov. can be distinguished from 25 species and two subspecies by eyes with dense hairs (Table 1). Pseudovelia intonsa Hecher, 1997, P. longitarsa Andersen, 1983, and P. sexualis (Paiva, 1917) are similar to P. lasiomma sp. nov. with dense hairs on the eyes, but can be distinguished by the following combination of characteristics: hind tibia longer than tarsus (tarsus longer than tibia in P. longitarsa); grasping comb approximately half of fore tibia length (0.5 times tibia length in P. longitarsa and P. sexualis); hind tarsomere I with 4–5 long swimming bristles along posterior margin (tarsomere I without long swimming bristles in P. intonsa, and tarsomere I with long swimming bristles only on basal portion in P. longitarsa); hind tarsomere I straight (tarsomere I curved in P. longitarsa); body shape parallel-sided (body shape slightly oval, metanotum widest in P. sexualis); interocular distance wide (interocular distance narrow in P. sexualis); most of dense hairs on eyes longer than diameter of ommatidium (dense hairs on eyes shorter in P. sexualis: See Andersen (1983: fig. 6)); 2–3 swimming bristles on hind tarsomere I longer than length of tarsomere I, length of swimming bristles vary (all swimming bristles on hind tarsomere I shorter than length of tarsomere I, length of swimming bristles differences scarce in P. sexualis: See Andersen (1983: fig. 11)); posterior margin of ventral depression of segment VIII with a cluster of spines (posterior margin of ventral depression of segment VIII without a cluster of spines in P. sexualis: See Andersen (1983: fig. 13)). Among the Japanese species of Pseudovelia, P. lasiomma sp. nov. is similar to P. esakii, but can be distinguished by the following combination of characteristics: eyes with dense hairs (Figs. 19–20) (eyes bare with only two ocular setae in P. esakii: Figs. 25–26); abdominal segment VIII with large circle-shaped depression (long horizontal oval-shaped depression in P. esakii: Figs. 27–28); middle area and lateral margin of this depression with row of setae (middle area and lateral margin of this depression with cluster of setae in P. esakii: Figs. 27–28). Remarks. The first author observed more than 200 adults, including breeding individuals and the type series. Macropterous males and females have not been found, although macropterous adults have been recorded for all other species of Japanese Pseudovelia: P. esakii, P. hirashimai, P. takarai, P. tibialis tibialis, P. tsutsuii (Hayashi & Miyamoto 2018; Hirasawa 2019). Pseudovelia lasiomma sp. nov. and P. sexualis have many common characteristics and may be closely related. The distributions of the two species are relatively widely separated, which is an important consideration in speciation studies. Elucidation of the barcode region will clarify the relationship between the two species. Distribution. Japan (Lake Biwa) (Fig. 11). Biology. This species inhabits the land at the lake margins and was found mostly within ca. 20 cm of the edge. The individuals were discovered in gaps, under driftwood, and on water plants. The nymphal appearance period in the type locality includes late autumn, as the nymphs were found on November 3, 2022 (Figs. 9–10). ......continued on the next page Key to the species of Pseudovelia from Japan The key is applicable to apterous males and is based on Esaki & Miyamoto (1955), Miyamoto (1959, 1964), Ye et al.

    Robustness of excitonic coupling in Ta2NiSe5 against electronic inhomogeneity introduced by S substitution for Se

    No full text
    Electronic properties of various insulators can be controlled by chemical substitution. For example, exotic superconducting phases are often obtained by chemical substitution in Mott insulators. Compared to Mott insulators, impact of chemical substitution on excitonic insulators is not well explored yet. In the present work, space-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of the model Ta2Ni(Se1-xSx)5 is reported in which S substitution for Se is used to control the excitonic behavior. The substitution introduces electronic inhomogeneity with the Se 4p/S 3p valence band exhibiting strong position dependence. In contrast, the flat top valence band, which is a signature of the excitonic insulating phase, does not show any appreciable position dependence except the effect of surface corrugation. This indicates that the excitonic coupling in Ta2NiSe5 is robust against the electronic inhomogeneity induced by the S substitution
