Hysterochelifer nepalensis Beier 1974
No full textRevalidation of Hysterochelifer nepalensis Beier, 1974 and its transfer, together with Dactylochelifer macrotuberculatus Krumpal, 1987, to Metachelifer Beier (1974) described Hysterochelifer nepalensis from material taken from central Nepal. It had since been repeatedly reported from various parts of Nepal (Schawaller 1983, 1987, 1991) until Schawaller (1994) synonymized it with H. orientalis Beier, 1967. A reexamination of the type material of H. nepalensis (in NHMW), however, shows this synonymy to be wrong. For example, H. nepalensis differs from congeners in structure of the coxal sac with its atrium, of the subterminal seta and of the lateral claw of male tarsus I. In addition, the conformation of the male genitalia (structure of the lateral rods) and the presence of three cribriform plates in females clearly warrant a placement of this species in the genus Metachelifer. As regards the identity of Metachelifer hyatti Ćurčić, 1980, Schawaller (1991) synonymized this species with Hysterochelifer nepalensis only upon a restudy of the holotype as compared to the abundant, partly topotypic material. Had he not missed Dactylochelifer macrotuberculatus Krumpal, 1987, described from Nepal as well (Krumpal 1987), he could have not only identified this species in his own material (Schawaller 1991), but he might have also noticed that it actually represented the genus Metachelifer. To facilitate future work on this difficult genus, brief redescriptions of both M. nepalensis and M. macrotuberculatus are given below. This represents the following new combinations: Metachelifer nepalensis (Beier, 1974), nom. revalid. & comb. n. ex Hysterochelifer Chamberlin, 1932; Metachelifer macrotuberculatus (Krumpal, 1987), comb. n. ex Dactylochelifer Beier, 1932. Metachelifer thus currently comprises three species. Their distribution (M. duboscqui Redikorzev, 1938, the typespecies from Laos, Cambodia and South Vietnam—see Redikorzev (1938) and Beier (1951); M. macrotuberculatus and M. nepalensis, both from low to midmontane Nepal below 3500 m—see Beier (1974), Krumpal (1987) and Schawaller (1991)) also shows that, like Ancistrochelifer, the genus Metachelifer can be considered as typically Oriental.Published as part of Dashdamirov, Selvin, 2006, A new species of the falsescorpion family Cheliferidae from Thailand, with remarks on Ancistrochelifer and Metachelifer (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones), pp. 347-362 in Zootaxa 1325 on pages 357-358, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17403

Image Morphing with the Beier-Neely Method
No full textThe Beier-Neely feature-based image-morphing method is studied. Then, software implementing the Beier-Neely image-morphing method, designed and developed by the author, is presented. The software consists of three programs. The first program is a graphical user interface (GUI) used to manually select feature line segments. The second program is a morphing program that generates a morphing image sequence, where each intermediate frame in the sequence represents a stage in the morphing process. The third program converts the image sequence produced to a video that displays the image morphing effect.Graduat

Ordovician-Silurian palynostratigraphy (Chitinozoa and acritarchs) of the G14-1/86 borehole, southern Baltic Sea
No full textBorehole G 14-1/86, located in the Baltic Sea between the Tornquist Zone and the Caledonian Deformation Front/Thor Suture, penetrates a Lower Palaeozoic sedimentary succession deposited on the south-western margin of the East European Platform. Detailed palynological analysis of the Ordovician and Silurian successions enables precise dating and facilitates provenance interpretation of the sedimentary sequence. The following chitinozoan biozones are identified: Cyatho-chitina primitiva Biozone (early - early late Arenig); Laufeldochitina striata Biozone (late Abereiddian - late Llandeilan) and Ancyrochitina merga Biozone (Cautleyan - Rawtheyan, middle Ashgill). A further chitinozoan assemblage is possible to be correlated with the global Spinachitina maennili Biozone (uppermost Rhuddanian - lower Telychian). A relatively diversified acritarch assemblage of Ashgill age (independently dated by Chitinozoa) also occurs. This assemblage contains numerous reworked forms of Llanvirn, Tremadoc and late Cambrian ages. The reworked Llanvirn acritarchs are typical of the high-latitude Perigondwanan micro-phytoplankton palaeobioprovince and testify to detrital input of Gondwanan-related source during the Ashgill, suggesting that by this time the Tornquist Ocean was closed
