Psammocoryza Hogan
No full text<i>Psammocoryza</i> Hogan, new genus <p>(Fig.1)</p> <p> <b>Type species.</b> <i>Psammocoryza vanemdeni</i> Hogan, <b>new species</b>, here designated.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Immediately recognised by the multiple longitudinal carinae of the pronotum, a character not seen in any other genus of Clivinini. Anterior margin of clypeus trituberculate as in <i>Halocoryza</i> or <i>Schizogenius</i>. Clypeal suture obsolete medially and partially engraved laterally, in contrast to <i>Schizogenius</i> where the suture is fully impressed to a greater or lesser extent and in <i>Halocoryza</i> where it is obsolete. Eyes large and prominent, not reduced as in in <i>Halocoryza</i> (in <i>Schizogenius</i> the eyes vary in size and prominence). Head bearing multiple longitudinal carinae and sulci as in <i>Halocoryza</i> or <i>Schizogenius</i>, but unlike these two genera the median sulcus is narrower than the paramedian sulci. Gula narrow as in <i>Schizogenius</i>, at narrowest point 0.2 times maximum width of mentum. Base of profemora with row of round tubercles, in <i>Halocoryza</i> and <i>Schizogenius</i> these tubercles are lacking. Protibiae similar in form to <i>Halocoryza</i>, with the three distal spines elongate and not widened basally. Lacinia of maxilla setose along inner and outer margin as in <i>Schizogenius</i>, not hooked at apex. Gonocoxite straight and rounded at apex, distinguished from <i>Halocoryza</i> or <i>Schizogenius</i> by the absence of setae.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> <i>Psammocoryza</i> is derived from the existing genus group name <i>Coryza</i> Putzeys (probably a latinised form of the Greek feminine noun ‘ <i>korys</i> ’, meaning helmet or crest) and the Greek feminine noun ‘ <i>psammos</i> ’, meaning sand, in reference to the likely habitat of this new genus. Gender feminine.</p> <p> <b>Taxonomic position.</b> In the absence of a comprehensive analysis of the relationships among the genera of the Clivinini, comments on the placement of <i>Psammocoryza</i> within the tribe are necessarily tentative. Despite this, the multiple longitudinal carinae of the frons (‘frontal carinae’) and trituberculate clypeal margin of <i>Psammocoryza</i> are also shared with <i>Halocoryza</i> and <i>Schizogenius</i> and these three genera probably constitute a monophyletic group. The old world genus <i>Lophocoryza</i> Alluaud is also characterised by a tuberculate clypleal margin and paired carinae of the frons (Basilewsky 1973) and may also belong in this group.</p> <p> The close relationship of <i>Halocoryza</i> to <i>Schizogenius</i> has been discussed in detail by Whitehead (1966). Based on adult morphology, <i>Psammocoryza</i> would appear to be closer to <i>Schizogenius</i> than <i>Halocoryza</i>. Both <i>Psammocoryza</i> and <i>Schizogenius</i> share similar setation of the lacinia, the clypeal suture is at least partially engraved and the gula narrow. <i>Psammocoryza</i> differs from <i>Schizogenius</i> in the arrangement of the frontal carinae, macrosculpture of the pronotum, tuberculate femora and the shape and setation of the gonocoxite. These two genera also show a difference in habitat preference. All <i>Schizogenius</i> occupy inland freshwater habitats while the two known specimens of <i>Psammocoryza</i> were collected from a coastal beach.</p> <p> Diagnostic characters of <i>Halocoryza</i> and <i>Schizogenius</i> (from Whitehead, 1966, 1972) and <i>Psammocoryza</i> are summarised in table 1.</p>Published as part of <i>Hogan, James E., 2006, Psammocoryza vanemdeni, a new genus and species of scaritine beetle from the Atlantic coast of Brazil (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Clivinini), pp. 61-68 in Zootaxa 1337</i> on pages 62-64, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/174318">10.5281/zenodo.174318</a>

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Omaha City Services: An Opinion Survey
No full textThe purpose of this opinion survey was threefold:
a. To determine perceptions of residents of six neighborhoods in Omaha of the quality of selected City services in their own neighborhoods and in other neighborhoods in relation to their own. These perceptions were to be solicited in terms of their ranking of the present services and their desires for the future.
b. To determine the priorities of City Government over the next four years in terms of the eight categories of government involvement
presented.
c. To solicit personal opinions from respondents about City services and government priorities.
See the attached questionnaire, Appendix A: Questions I, 2 and 4 related to a. above, Question 3 relates to b. and Question 4 relates to c.
The survey was conducted out of two basic needs. First, there is the need for citizen participation in government at a time in our nation's history when government and those elected to represent the people are under a great deal of pressure to be open and accessible to the public in order to restore their credibility and the credulity of our system of government. Secondly, there is a need for graduate students to engage in research that leads to meaningful involvement in real situations.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Psammocoryza vanemdeni Hogan, new species
No full text<i>Psammocoryza vanemdeni</i> Hogan, new species <p>(Figs. 1–7)</p> <p> <b>Type material:</b> Holotype: Female, deposited in the Natural History Museum, London, UK. “Barra de Serinhaem, Pernambuco, 25.v.1937, O. Schubart, Br.867”, “Nordstrand”, “gen.n. S2, van Emden det. 1949”, “F.van Emden Bequest B.M. 1960–129”, “gen. nr. Schizogenius det. S.W.Nichols 1984”. In good condition; articles 2–5 of both hind tarsi missing; left antenna with articles 8–11 missing. Head darkened in colour due to maceration in KOH. Paratype: Male, also deposited in the Natural History Museum, London. “Barra de Serinhaem, Pernambuco, 25.v.1937, O.Schubart, Br.864”, “Nordstrand”, “F.van Emden Bequest B.M. 1960–129”. Specimen incomplete: head, pterothorax and right elytron missing.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Due to the poor condition of the male paratype the description is based on the female holotype unless otherwise stated. Small clivinine carabid beetle (length of elytra 1.92mm).</p> <p> <b>Colour</b> uniform pale testaceous (pale brownish-yellow).</p> <p> <b>Head capsule, dorsal surface:</b> large, slightly narrower than pronotum. Surface dull due to coarse isodiametric microsculpture. <b>Clypeus</b> tri-tuberculate at anterior margin, central tubercle extending a small distance posteriorly onto clypeus as a carina, lateral tubercles also extended posteriorly onto clypeus as carinae but longer, almost reaching clypeal suture. Antero-lateral angles of clypeus sharp and carinate, almost reaching level of anterior tubercles. Single central pair of clypeal carinae almost continuous with second pair of carinae of frons, slightly converging anteriorly, terminating just before anterior margin of clypeus either side of central tubercle. One pair of clypeal setae. Clypeal suture deeply impressed lateraly, absent medially. Supra-antennal plate carinate laterally, rounded. <b>Frons</b> with seven pairs of paired longitudinal carinae; first, fourth and fifth pairs nearly parallel; second pair weakly developed, stronger basally; third pair convergent anteriorly, continued almost unbroken onto clypeus; fourth pair weakly developed, narrower and lower than carinae one, three and five; fifth pair interrupted for a short distance at level of eye, then continued to clypeal suture; sixth pair shorter than carinae one to five, curved inwards around insertion of anterior supra-orbital seta and terminating a short distance beyond; seventh pair also short, touching the dorsal margin of the eye then continued to clypeal suture. On the right hand side only the fifth carina is interrupted for a short distance. The form of the carinae may therefore show some individual variation. Two pairs of supra-orbital setae; anterior pair located close to eye, adjacent to carina six; posterior pair at base of carina five. <b>Neck</b> marked dorsaly with coarse longitudinal rugosity. <b>Head capsule, ventral surface:</b> Buccal fissure wide and extended to below level of submentum.

Antennal scape slightly longer than articles two and three combined, with long, sub-apical dorsal seta. Pedicel with long ventral seta.</p> <p> <b>Mouthparts. Labrum</b> bilobed, slightly emarginate at middle; dorsal surface with seven setae, lateral margins with six pairs of curved setae, reflexed forwards. <b>Mandibles</b> prominent, hooked at apex; inner margin straight, inner margin of right mandible with small tooth, probably analagous to the anterior retinacular tooth of the right mandible of <i>Clivina</i> Latreille (Ball 2001). <b>Maxilla</b> (Fig.3) with lacinia setose along inner and outer margin, apex slightly hooked; terminal article of palpus elongate, swollen at base. <b>Labium</b> (Fig.2): <b>Mentum</b> with triangular central tooth; one pair of paramedian anterior setae and one pair of paralateral posterior setae. Base of mentum with a pair of large ringed pores. Mentum and submentum separated by suture. Submentum with one pair of paramedian and one pair of paralateral setae. <b>Prementum:</b> Glossal sclerite of ligula with two long apical setae; penultimate article of labial palpus with two setae; terminal article elongate, swollen at base.</p> <p> <b>Thorax. Pronotum</b> transverse, surface dull and non-reflective due to coarse isodiametric microsculpture. Anterior angles sharp, projected slightly forwards; posterior angles rounded, each with small tooth. Median line deeply impressed and complete, extended from anterior to posterior border. Disc with six pairs of distinct sub-parallel lateral carinae; carinae five and six closer together than others and terminated at level of posterior pronotal seta. Marginal border of pronotum thick and continued to peduncle. Two pairs of lateral setae, posterior pair recessed from margin. Prosternum between coxae produced into a sharp ridge. <b>Mesothorax</b> pedunculate with scutellum dorsaly.</p> <p> <b>Elytra</b> with eight striae; intervals flat except at extreme base. Intervals three, five and seven each with eleven setigerous punctures on disc; base of interval three with additional setigerous pore. Base of interval three and four with small tubercle. Shoulder with small raised tooth.

Tarsal claws small, shorter than terminal article. First tarsomere long, first tarsomere of protarsi longer than remaining four combined.</p> <p> <b>Abdomen. Pygidium</b> with numerous very small setae and margin entire in both sexes. Pygidium of male with very fine file-like striae along midline, not visible in female. <b>Abdominal sternites</b> three to six of both sexes each with one pair of paramedian setae; sternite seven of both sexes with 2 pairs of setae.</p> <p> <b>Female genitalia.</b> Gonocoxite (Fig.4) straight, apex rounded, with row of pores externally; setae absent.</p> <p> <b>Male genitalia.</b> Phallus (Fig.7) evenly arcuate; endophallus without enlarged collar setae. Parameres unequal, left paramere larger and wider than right, each bearing a single long apical seta. Genital ring sclerite closed.</p> <p> <b>Measurements.</b> Head width including eyes 0.73mm. Head length from neck to antero-lateral angle of clypeus 0.83mm. Length of pronotum along mid-line 0.70mm. Length of left elytron excluding peduncle 1.92mm (female holotype), 1.78mm (male paratype). Total body length from antero-lateral angle of clypeus to apex of elytra, including peduncle, 3.64mm.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> This species is named in honour of the distinguished carabidologist and dipterist Professor F. I. van Emden (1898–1958).</p> <p> <b>Geographical distribution.</b> Known only from the type locality.</p> <p> <b>Natural History.</b> The type locality is coastal and sand grains adhering to the type specimens suggest <i>Psammocoryza</i> inhabits marine beaches. This hypothesis is supported by the elongate form of the pro-tibial teeth which is similar to those of other psammophilous Scaritinae such as species of <i>Halocoryza</i>, <i>Lophocoryza</i> and <i>Acanthoscelis</i> Dejean. Pale testaceous coloration and coarse isodiametric microsculpture are also seen in other coastal carabidae (Erwin 2004).</p> <p>The author thanks Dr Roger Booth and Max Barclay (Natural History Museum, London) for arranging the loan of specimens, Menaka Rambukwella (Oxford University Museum) for discussions on digital imaging and Darren Mann (Oxford University Museum) for advice on dissection techniques.</p>Published as part of <i>Hogan, James E., 2006, Psammocoryza vanemdeni, a new genus and species of scaritine beetle from the Atlantic coast of Brazil (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Clivinini), pp. 61-68 in Zootaxa 1337</i> on pages 64-67, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/174318">10.5281/zenodo.174318</a>
