    Dromedaricoccus Hodgson & Miller, 2011 Dromedaricoccus Hodgson & Miller in Hodgson et al. 2011, 66. Type species: Dromedaricoccus hansoni Hodgson & Miller by original designation. Introduction. This monotypic genus from Costa Rica induces bulbous swellings on the young stems, petioles and undersides of the mid-veins of leaflets of Astronium graveolens (Anacardiaceae). The adult male (Fig. 32) and female of D. hansoni were described by Hodgson et al. (2011). Unlike the adult males of many gall-inducing species, the male of D. hansoni does not have an elongate abdomen or a long penial sheath. Instead, it is the adult female which has an attenuated abdomen, which is presumably extended to the gall opening for copulation. Generic diagnosis based on adult male morphology (Fig. 32). Body not attenuated and abdomen more or less parallel sided with a short penial sheath; body setae fairly short, with hs and fs almost indistinguishable. Head: quite setose; simple pores absent; ocular sclerite without striations or reticulations; dorsal mid-cranial ridge absent; preocular ridge almost absent; genae with both hs and fs; antennae 6 segmented; flagellar segments with mostly fs, these almost indistinguishable from hs; capitate setae restricted to apical antennal segment. Thorax: prescutum with prescutal setae; scutal setae present laterally; scutellum with 1 pair of scutellar setae; postmesospiracular setae abundant, mainly fs; basisternum with abundant setae; metasternal setae common; metaprecoxal ridge very short; postmetaspiracular setae present; tibial spurs undifferentiated; tarsi 1 segmented; tarsal digitules setose; claw digitules capitate; claw with denticle. Abdomen: glandular pouches present on segment VIII; abdominal segment IX barely if at all differentiated from style; penial sheath short, narrowing gradually to a sharp apex, with several pairs of long setae. Comment. Three species in the Gondwanan-group have glandular pouches and a reduced number of antennal segments, namely Eriogallococcus isaias and D. hansoni (Neotropical) and C. merwei from South Africa. They can be easily separated morphologically as E. isaias has 5-segmented antennae, D. hansoni has 6-segmented antennae and C. merwei has 8-segmented antennae. In addition, E. isaias and D. hansoni have setose tarsal digitules, otherwise unknown in the Gondwanan Group.Published as part of Hodgson, Chris, 2020, A review of neococcid scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccomorpha) based on the morphology of the adult males, pp. 1-264 in Zootaxa 4765 (1) on pages 84-87, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4765.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/377417

    Bystracoccus Hodgson gen. nov. Type species: Bystracoccus mataybae Hodgson, Isaias & Oliveira spec. nov. Generic diagnosis. As currently monotypic, diagnosis as for species description below. Generic name derivation. The generic name Bystracoccus is composed of bystra, f. Greek, meaning ‘plug or bung’ referring to dorsal plate, plus coccus, Gr. for grain or berry, after which the superfamily is named.Published as part of Hodgson, Chris, Isaias, Rosy M. S. & Oliveira, D. C., 2013, A new gall-inducing genus and species of Eriococcidae (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea) on Sapindaceae from Brazil, pp. 317-330 in Zootaxa 3734 (3) on page 318, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3734.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/527022

    Prionococcus Williams, Hodgson & Danzig Prionococcus Williams, Hodgson & Danzig 2002: 111. With the addition of the species described as new below, there are now three species in Prionococcus, and these can be separated using the following key. PLATE 1. A plant of Agave americana showing an infestation of Prionococcus fontanai sp.n. PLATE 2. Close up of a leaf of Agave americana infested with Prionococcus fontanai sp.n. Most stages can be identified. A: 1 st-instar nymphs (small and orange); B: 2 nd-instar male in process of secreting male test; C: mature 2 nd-instar male inside male test; D: male test with either a pupa or a prepupa inside; E: empty male test (glassy and whitish, divided into 11 plates; secreted by 2 nd-instar male nymphs); F: 2 nd-instar female (mainly slightly larger than male test and varying from dark orange (youngest) to a deep reddish purple (oldest); G: mature adult female (note dome-shaped centre with a distinct outer ledge; what are assumed to be young adult females are somewhat smaller, intermediate in size between 2 nd -instar females and mature adults). No adult males are present.Published as part of Pellizzari, Giuseppina & Hodgson, Chris, 2007, A new species of Prionococcus (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea: Coccidae) from Mexico, with a discussion of its affinities, pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 1481 on pages 1-2, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17689

    Interview with Professor Shirley Hodgson, conducted by Professor Tilli Tansey, for the History of Modern Biomedicine Research Group, 04 November 2015, in the School of History, Queen Mary University of London. Transcribed by Mrs Debra Gee, and edited by Ms Emma M. Jones, Professor Tilli Tansey and Dr Apostolos Zarros. The project management and the technical support (filming and production) were undertaken by Mr Adam Wilkinson and Mr Alan Yabsley, respectively. Professor Shirley Hodgson BSc BM BC DM D(Obst)RCOG FRCP DCH FRSB (b. 1945) began her career as a Paediatrician and General Practitioner. She became a Registrar in Clinical Genetics at Guy’s Hospital, 1980, and worked with Professor Victor Dubowitz at the Hammersmith Hospital on muscular dystrophy whilst doing the work for her DM Thesis. She became a Consultant in Clinical Genetics at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in 1988, and Consultant/Reader in Clinical Genetics at Guy’s in 1990. She specialised in cancer genetics from 1989, working with the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (now Cancer Research UK), developing regional cancer genetics services at Guy's, St. Mark’s and St. George’s Hospitals in London. In 2003 she was appointed Professor of Cancer Genetics at St. George’s, University of London, now Emerita, and has part-time Consultant status in Leicester. Her research investigated inherited aspects of cancer predisposition, she has published widely on the subject, and co-authored several books, including 'Inherited Susceptibility to Cancer' (Foulkes and Hodgson (eds), 1998), and 'A Practical Guide to Human Cancer Genetics' (Hodgson and Maher, 1993), now into its fourth edition with W. Foulkes and C. Eng as co-authors (Springer).The History of Modern Biomedicine Research Group is funded by the Wellcome Trust, which is a registered charity (no. 210183). The current interview has been funded by the Wellcome Trust Strategic Award entitled “Makers of modern biomedicine: testimonies and legacy” (2012-2017; awarded to Professor Tilli Tansey)

    Geoff Hodgson on Pluralism and Historical Specificity

    No full text
    Geoff Hodgson has made a variety of innovative contributions to thinking about the methodology of economics. Here two particular contributions are considered together: his advocacy of pluralism at different levels and his concern with historical specificity. We first explore his argument for specificity in terms of a pluralist ontology. We then consider his argument for methodological pluralism as contributing to an abductive methodology. We discuss this methodology as a basis for some generalities in theorising and discuss the potential further contribution that can be made by a pluralist ontology
