    Phanaeus bonariensis Gory in Guerin-Meneville 1844

    <i>Phanaeus bonariensis</i> Gory in Guérin-Méneville, 1844: 79. <p> <b>Type specimen:</b> Unknown to us (see discussion below). Certainly, the description was based on a syntypic series, since Gory (1844) gave several places in Argentina and Paraguay as type locality.</p> <p> <b>Type locality:</b> ‘ <i>Buénos-Ayres, Corrientes, le Paraguay</i> ’ (Gory 1844).</p> <p> <b>Nomenclatural history:</b> In <i>Iconographie du régne animal de G. Cuvier</i>, Guérin-Méneville (1844) discussed about the species today placed in <i>Megaphanaeus</i> and, following his discussion on <i>Phanaeus ensifer</i>, he said ‘Mr. Gory [the French entomologist Hippolyte Louis Gory (1800–1852)] possesses a new species related to this one, but it is quite distinct, we have seen several differences in both sexes; here follows the description he made of it’ (‘ <i>M. Gory possède une espèce nouvelle voisine de celle-ci, mais bien distincte, nous en avons vu plusieurs variétés de sexes divers; voice la description qu’il en faite:</i> ’), and then he presented the description of ‘ <i>Phanaeus Bonariensis</i>, Gory’, from ‘ <i>Buénos-Ayres, Corrientes, le Paraguay</i> ’. According to Article 50.1 of the Code, ‘the author of a name […] is the person who first published it in a way that satisfies the criteria of availability […]’, and Article 50.1.1 says ‘[…] if it is clear from the contents that some person other than an author of the work is alone responsible […] for the name […], then that other person is the author of the name […]’. With the phrase transcript above, Guérin- Méneville (1844) made it clear that Gory was the responsible both for the description and for naming <i>Phanaeus bonariensis</i>, making the latter entomologist its author.</p> <p> After Gory’s death, his personal collection was scattered throughout different museums in Europe (Cambefort 2006), but even before some of his specimens seem to have been sent to other collections. For example, Smith (1986) cited a letter dated 1849 where Gory’s brother offered his collection by £300 to the English entomologist Reverend Frederick William Hope (1797–1762). Indeed, specimens coming from Gory’s collection were found in the Hope Entomological Collections, Oxford University Museum of Natural History, where they can be easily recognized by the presence of a small red square label handwritten ‘ <i>G</i> ’ attached to them (Figure 5 C shows an example) (Darren Mann, curator at the OUMNH, personal communication to MC on the 4th of September, 2016).</p> <p> Nonetheless, we were unable to find a specimen of the species currently known as <i>C. bonariensis</i> bearing Gory’s label at OUMNH or at any other museum examined. Two apparently mid-nineteenth-century specimens of <i>C. bonariensis</i> from Hope-Westwood collection at OUMNH are potentially part of the type series (Figure5 A–B), but, as none of them bears a ‘ <i>G</i> ’ label, we prefer to be careful and, by now, we will not consider them as syntypes of <i>Phanaeus bonariensis</i>. Arnaud (2002b) mentioned that the type specimen of <i>P. bonariensis</i> was deposited in the MNHN (although it was not cited as being there in Arnaud’s [1982b] list of the Phanaeini type material housed in the Paris museum). Nonetheless, FZVM spent a year at the MNHN and did not find this putative type there. Therefore, the whereabouts of <i>P. bonariensis</i> type material are unknown to us.</p> <p> The application of the name <i>bonariensis</i> to the <i>Megaphanaeus</i> species from the Chacoan habitats in Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina has long been well established (e.g., d’Olsoufieff 1924; Edmonds 1972; Arnaud 2002b; Edmonds & Zídek 2010) and is clear from the original description given by Gory (1844), making no neotype designation necessary at the moment. The fact that one of the places of the type locality is ‘ <i>Buenos Ayres</i> ’, which is, in the stricter sense of the word, out of the occurrence area of the species, is not considered by us as relevant, as it may indicate rather a departure port to Europe or a much wider area than a strict locality.</p>Published as part of <i>Maldaner, Maria E., Cupello, Mario, Ferreira, Daniela C. & Vaz-De-Mello, Fernando Z., 2017, Type specimens and names assigned to Coprophanaeus (Megaphanaeus) d'Olsoufieff, 1924, the largest New World dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Phanaeini), pp. 83-102 in Zootaxa 4272 (1)</i> on page 95, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4272.1.4, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/583381">http://zenodo.org/record/583381</a&gt

    In Reply to Antiplatelet Therapy Prior to Temporary Stent-Assisted Coiling

    We would like to thank Drs Almekhlafi and Goyal for their comments concerning our article, “Temporary Solitaire Stent-Assisted Coiling: A Technique for the Treatment of Acutely Ruptured Wide-Neck Intracranial Aneurysms.” Almekhlafi et al noticed that we performed the procedures without preadministering antiplatelet therapy, and they would like to caution against the wide adoption of this technique with- out pretreatment with antiplatelet agents. They reported the en- dovascular treatment of 10 aneurysms (6 unruptured and 4 ruptured) in 8 patients by using temporary stent-assisted coiling. One of their patients with an unruptured aneurysm was not pretreated with dual antiplatelet therapy and presented with a procedural in-stent thrombosis with no clinical sequelae. An antiplatelet regimen is usually administered before stent placement in selective cases. However, in our article, we reported our experience in a different situation (acutely ruptured aneurysms). In this setting, to the best of our knowledge, it seems clear that adverse events happen more commonly and clinical out- comes are likely to be worse than those achieved without stent assistance; thus, we did not use antiplatelet therapy in our series. Recently, Bechan et al. compared the rate of stent-placement complications in acutely ruptured versus unruptured aneurysms, and they have shown that the morbidity and mortality increased. Application of dual antiplatelet therapy in stent-assisted coiling of acutely ruptured aneurysms is associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic complications following shunt placement,5 especially in middle cerebral artery and anterior communicating artery aneurysms.6 In our series, 4 of the 8 patients underwent emergent shunt placement and no hemorrhagic complication was noted. As Drs Almekhlafi and Goyal noted, temporary stent-assisted coiling could be a helpful technique; however, it should be considered only when other endovascular techniques are not feasible, especially in the setting of acute ruptured aneurysms. The current literature does not support using antiplatelet therapy in this set- ting because it associated with worse prognosis

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
