Ebenacobius atratus Haran & Benoit & Procheş & Kergoat 2022
Ebenacobius atratus (Hesse, 1929) gen. et comb. nov. Derelomus atratus Hesse, 1929: 525. Differential diagnosis Ebenacobius atratus gen. nov. can be distinguished by the combination of appendiculate claws and elytra with distinct but recumbent setae, as long as or shorter than width of interstriae. This species is very close to, if not a synonym of, E. turneri gen. et comb. nov. (see the remarks section under that species). E. atratus has short, not or slightly raised squamiform setae on elytra (long, erect and piliform setae in E. turneri). Material examined Holotype (from description) REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA – KwaZulu-Natal Province • ♂; Estcourt. Remarks Ebenacobius atratus gen. nov.) was described in the genus Derelomus based on a single male deposited at SAMC (Hesse 1929). This specimen was loaned to Guillermo Kuschel (loan 24018) who undertook a study on palaeotropical Derelomini from 2007. Unfortunately he passed away before he could complete this work and left the very preliminary manuscript and the material borrowed from institutions was partly not recovered (see postscript in Haran et al. 2020). Despite intensive search in the material of Derelomini loaned, the holotype of this species could not be identified and is provisionally considered as lost. Life history Unknown.

Ebenacobius incognitus Haran & Benoit & Procheş & Kergoat 2022
Ebenacobius incognitus (Hesse, 1929) gen. et comb. nov. Figs 3F, 5B, 6O Derelomus incognitus Hesse, 1929: 526. Differential diagnosis This species can be distinguished by the following combination: claws appendiculate and dorsum (prothorax + elytra) with minute whitish setae, glabrous in appearance. In most specimens, the basal 4/5 of first interstriae are dark brown (Fig. 3F). Apex of protibiae in females has a long premucro giving the impression of a double mucro.

Maternal representations and infant attachment: An examination of the prototype hypothesis
The prototype hypothesis suggests that attachment representations derived in infancy continue to influence subsequent relationships over the life span, including those formed with one's own children. In the current study, we test the prototype hypothesis by exploring (a) whether child-specific representations following actual experience in interaction with a specific child impacts caregiver-child attachment over and above the prenatal forecast of that representation and (b) whether maternal attachment representations exert their influence on infant attachment via the more child-specific representation of that relationship. In a longitudinal study of 84 mother-infant dyads, mothers' representations of their attachment history were obtained prenatally with the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI; M. Main, R. Goldwyn, & E. Hesse, 2002), representations of relationship with a specific child were assessed with the Working Model of the Child Interview (WMCI; C.H. Zeanah, D. Benoit, & L. Barton, 1986), collected both prenatally and again at infant age 11 months, and infant attachment was assessed in the Strange Situation Procedure (M.D.S. Ainsworth, M.C. Blehar, E. Walters, & S. Wall, 1978) when infants were 11 months of age. Consistent with the prototype hypothesis, considerable correspondence was found between mothers' AAI and WMCI classifications. A mediation analysis showed that WMCI fully accounted for the association between AAI and infant attachment. Postnatal WMCI measured at 11 months' postpartum did not add to the prediction of infant attachment, over and above that explained by the prenatal WMCI. Implications for these findings are discussed.No Full Tex
Ebenacobius rhodesianus
Ebenacobius rhodesianus (Hesse, 1929) gen. et comb. nov. Figs 1A–B, D, F–H, J–O, 3I, 5H, 6R Derelomus rhodesianus Hesse, 1929: 529. Differential diagnosis This species is distinct from all Ebenacobius by the presence of small whitish scales on prothorax and elytra (Fig. 1I). It is closest in general appearance to E. turneri gen. et comb. nov. but the latter species has appendiculate claws (claws simple in E. rhodesianus gen. et comb. nov.).

Remarks The single card mounted specimen used by Hesse (1929) for the description of Derelomus rhodesianus Hesse was located in the collection housed at SAMC. This specimen bears a red type label, it was identified as the holotype for this species and labelled accordingly. Life history This species was collected in large numbers on Euclea cf. crispa. Adults were observed on the branches, near the flower buds before blooming. The single record on flowers of Lonchocarpus (Fabaceae) is probably accidental. Adults were collected from July to October.

Fables de La Fontaine: Une Anthologie proposée par Benoit Marchon
Here are forty-three fables presented by an artist I have enjoyed twice elsewhere. The book's unusual shape (6½ x 10¾) is the first clue that it is going to present traditional material in a fresh way. Almost every presentation involves two pages and clever positioning of a few key images. GA (10-11) presents an ant with a sack of grain on his back marching across the page above a grasshopper moving upwards with a guitar on his back: character, load, and direction are all different. FC presents a cheese with its owner's name struck through and changed from Corbeau to Renard (12-13). WS shows a stork with a scissors for a head beside an x-ray of a wolf's digestive tract with the bone lodged down the throat (22-23). The spilt milk of MM is blotting out drawings of hens, pig, and cow (30-31). The surreal style fits the approach perfectly. Sometimes I have no idea why an object is presented the way Jarrie presents it; other times it is perfect. The bull in OF holds the frog by a tether as though the latter were a helium-filled balloon (32-33). Maybe best of all is The Rat and the Elephant (50-51). The elephant is segmented to make room for the text. Between the elephant's legs, mostly hidden from us, a cat reaches out a paw for the minuscule rat under the elephant's big belly. For sheer fun, try The Lion Defeated by a Man (78-79). The book has a place-holding ribbon, a short life of both La Fontaine and of Jarrie, and a helpful glossary of unusual language in the fables. This book fulfills its rear cover's promise of a fresh entry into a fabulous zoological park. Bravo, Jarrie!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchJean de La Fontaine; Benoit Marcho

In the collections housed at SAMC, a male specimen with the labels “Mfongosi; Zululand” and “ <i>Derelomus</i>; <i>rugosicollis</i>; Types; Hesse [hand written]” was identified. The description only refers to an undetermined number of males and females forming the type series. In the absence of a specific holotype designated for this species, the male specimen reported above is here designated as the lectotype for <i>Derelomus rugosicollis</i> Hesse, 1929 and was labeled accordingly.A detailed examination of the external and internal morphology of this specimen revealed no differences with the lectotype of <i>Derelomus costalis.</i> The name <i>Derelomus rugosicollis</i> is therefore a junior synonym of <i>Derelomus costalis</i>. It should be noted that the lectotypes of both <i>D. costalis</i> and <i>D. rugosicollis</i> are young ill-sclerotized specimens and that their uniformly pale colour is not representative of the colour pattern of the species. A redescription of this species is provided to account for the patterns found on fully sclerotized specimens of this species.

Dans un contexte français de résurgence de l’engagement littéraire, elle exprime des manières d’intervenir par l’écriture sur des problèmes sociaux ou politiques qui traversent la société. L’originalité de notre thèse tient à l’intérêt d’avoir privilégié le contexte d’écriture de ces auteures. En effet, la critique des littératures africaines francophones lie l’émergence de nouvelles formes d’écriture, à partir de années quatre-vingt, à la présence des auteurs de cette littérature dans un espace qui n’est plus africain mais essentiellement parisien. Le choix de l’implication nous permet d’inscrire les écrivaines choisies pour notre analyse dans un lieu témoin de pratiques d’écritures nouvelles qui montrent des préoccupations qui ne sont plus uniquement d’ordre esthétique.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Malyoune Benoit, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-18 at 07:03.The student, Malyoune Benoit, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-04-18 at 07:11.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-04-18 at 17:39.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12334 on 2018-08-31 at 17:20:24U of I Only Restriction Lifted for Item 107270 on 2020-09-05T09:15:26Z
L'étude des cadastres antiques : à propos d'Olbia de Provence
The study of antique cadastres : namely about Olbia in Provence
The knowledge about the way land is occupied, as well in uran as rural areas, gain increasing importance with the actual approach to antique societies. The study of Greek and Roman cadastres in the Mediterrannean contour concern also Southern Gaul, not without arising problems of method about their identification, their restitution and their dating. Starting from his recent cadastral analysis of the territory surrounding the Marseilles foundation at Olbia. J. Benoit remains reserved about the reliability, the limits, even the dangers of the diverse techniques of investigation generally in practice.
Inside a zone where cadastre is established, to the North of Olbia, J. Benoit has dissociated the area situated to the North- North-East of the antique settlement. After a critical interpretation and Mediterranean wide comparaisons, the author delimits an area relatively restricted (750 acres), spreading from the sea to the mountain, regulated by a rectangular module 105x52,5 m. This cadastre most probably established on the basic mesure of a foot of 29,6 cm, could belong to a periode of Greek colonization (middle of the fourth - beginning of the first century B. C).La connaissance des modes de l'occupation des sols, tant urbaine que rurale, prend de plus en plus d'importance dans l'approche actuelle des sociétés antiques. L'étude des cadastrations grecques et romaines du pourtour méditerranéen concerne également le Midi gaulois, non sans poser plusieurs problèmes de méthode pour leur identification, leur restitution et leur datation. Partant de ses récentes analyses sur la cadastration du territoire alentour de la fondation massaliote d'Olbia, J. Benoit s'interroge, en premier lieu, sur la fiabilité, les limites, voire les dangers des diverses techniques d'investigation généralement usitées.
A l'intérieur d'une zone cadastrée au Nord d'Olbia, J. Benoit dissocie celle située au Nord-Nord-Est de l'agglomération antique. Après une interprétation critique et des comparaisons méditerranéennes, l'auteur délimite une aire relativement réduite (305 ha), s'étalant entre mer et montagne, rythmée selon un module rectangulaire de 105 x 52,5 m. Ce cadastre, très probablement édifié sur la mesure d'un pied de 29,6 cm, pourrait se rapporter à l'époque de colonisation grecque (milieu du IVème - début du Ier s. av. J.-C).Benoit Jean.
