Csomapupa Pall-Gergely
No full textGenus Csomapupa Páll-Gergely, n. gen. Type species. Pomatias grandis Godwin-Austen, 1876. Diagnosis. Shell large, turriform/spindle-shaped, regularly ribbed, ribs very low and weak; shallow "scoring" or groove above the suture; aperture oval with very smooth columellar-parietal and parietal-palatal transitions; peristome very much widened; operculum thin. Differential diagnosis. Differs from Vargapupa n. gen. and Nodopomatias by the absence of a basal keel, and from Pseudopomatias by the presence of a shallow groove above the suture. Csomapupa n. gen. species have conspicuously widened peristome margin, which is wider than in any species of Pseudopomatias. The parietalpalatal transition of the aperture is not angled in Cs. luyorensis, but very slightly angled in Cs. grandis. In Pseudopomatias this transition is usually much more conspicuous. Etymology. The new genus Csomapupa (gender feminine) is dedicated to Sándor Kőrösi Csoma (1784?– 1842), also known as Alexander Csoma de Kőrös (approximate pronunciation is “choma”), Hungarian- Szekler (Székely) philologist and orientalist, author of the first Tibetan-English dictionary and grammar book. The name Csomapupa is the combination of the family name Csoma and Pupa. Content. Cs. grandis (Godwin-Austen, 1876), Cs. luyorensis (Godwin-Austen, 1917). Distribution (Fig. 7): The two species of Csomapupa n. gen. were reported from the Dafla and Abor Hills (north-eastern India) (see also Fig. 2).Published as part of Páll-Gergely, Barna, Fehér, Zoltán, Hunyadi, András & Asami, Takahiro, 2015, Revision of the genus Pseudopomatias and its relatives (Gastropoda: Cyclophoroidea: Pupinidae), pp. 1-49 in Zootaxa 3937 (1) on page 16, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3937.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/23713
Pseudopomatias reischuetzi Pall-Gergely, n. sp.
No full textPseudopomatias reischuetzi Páll-Gergely, n. sp. Fig. 10 H Diagnosis. A small to medium sized, glossy, rather spindle-shaped species with almost smooth neck region, rather triangular aperture (strongly angled parietal-palatal transition) and weak peristome margin. Description. Shell greyish-yellowish, glossy, spindle shaped, widest at the penultimate whorl; the 7.25–8 (n= 4) bulging whorls are separated by deep suture; protoconch consists of 1.5 whorls, the first half is very finely granulated, the remaining part is very finely, regularly ribbed; teleoconch also regularly, very finely ribbed; ribs low, not sharp; on the last half whorl the ribbed surface turns into a rather smooth surface having irregular growth lines; shell surface without spiral lines; aperture rather triangular, with smoothly angled columellar-parietal transition and sharply angled parietal-palatal transition; apertural rim slightly thickened and very slightly reflexed, consists of two circles; the inner circle is sharp in front and conspicuously protruding; the outer one being wider; parietal callus normally developed; there are 2–3 inner palatal plicae visible above the umbilicus through the translucent shell. Measurements (in mm). H: 7.3–8.9, D: 3.3–3.7 (n= 3). Differential diagnosis. P. reischuetzi n. sp. differs from P. harli n. sp. and P. pleurophorus by the presence of plicae inside the last whorl, the more slender, spindle-shaped shell, the triangular aperture and the absence of spiral sculpture. P. h i m al ay a e is smaller, has much stronger and sharper ribs, especially on the neck region, it has a rounded aperture and also lacks the plicae. See also under P. si yomensis. Material. Lhota Naga, Godwin-Austen coll., NHMUK 1903.7.1.1549/ 1 (holotype), NHMUK 1903.7.1.1549/ 2–4 (3 paratypes). Type locality. Lhota Naga. Etymology. The new species is dedicated to and named after Alexander Reischütz, Austrian malacologist, the friend of the first author. Distribution. Only the type series is known, which was collected in "Lhota Naga", Naga Hills. See also Fig. 2 and Table 3. Remarks. There may be more, deeper situated plicae within the last whorl that are visible only by breaking the shells (see Notes on useful shell characters).Published as part of Páll-Gergely, Barna, Fehér, Zoltán, Hunyadi, András & Asami, Takahiro, 2015, Revision of the genus Pseudopomatias and its relatives (Gastropoda: Cyclophoroidea: Pupinidae), pp. 1-49 in Zootaxa 3937 (1) on pages 27-28, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3937.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/23713

No full textPseudopomatias sophiae Páll-Gergely, n. sp. Figs 6 B, 9 F. Diagnosis. A small, slender turriform species with strong ribs and rounded aperture. Description. Shell light brown to yellowish, slender turriform, apex slightly blunt, the apical part of the shell (3–4 th whorls) seems to be concave; shell widest at its base; the 7–7.25 very much bulging whorls are separated by deep suture; boundary of the protoconch and teleoconch is not visible, only the first quarter of whorl is not ornamented by ribs, the rest is with sharp, regular ribs; teleoconch also finely, regularly ribbed without spiral lines; ribs very sharp, regular even behind the aperture; aperture almost exactly round with an inconspicuous parietalpalatal transition; columellar-parietal transition not angled; apertural rim thickened and reflexed; the boundary between the two circles of the apertural rim is hardly visible. Measurements (in mm). H: 5.9 –7.0, D: 2.7 –3.0 (n= 3). Differential diagnosis. P. s o ph i ae n. sp. is very similar to P. himalayae in terms of rib density and morphology, aperture formation and the building of the aperture lip. It is however smaller, more slender, has deeper suture, a more rounded aperture and regular ribs on the neck region. P. amoenus is much larger, has blunter ribs and a comparatively larger aperture of "deformed" shape. See also under P. abletti n. sp., P. linanprietoae n. sp. and P. nitens n. sp. and Table 5.

Analysis of Hungarian programs for broadband infrastructure development
Get PDFIn an effort to promote the information society, the Hungarian government adopted a number of strategic concepts and action plans, which formed the basis of many calls for proposals to be funded by the government and the European Union alike to achieve the institutional vision. In this article the author analyze in evaluating the government's role in Hungarian broadband infrastructure development programs so far. As a supposal in the course of the five government-funded infrastructure development programs implemented in Hungary by 2009, economic policymakers relegated community-based or community-owned digital telecommunication infrastructure to a heavily limited, stopgap role in terms of impact and extent. The basis of the investigation consisted of the RFPs for all of the five programs, as well as the data series showing the results of the projects already completed or yet to be finished under them. By analyzing them, it was possible to investigate the hypothesis. --broadband,government-funded infrastructure,development programs
Genus-level revision of the Alycaeidae (Gastropoda, Cyclophoroidea), with an annotated species catalogue
Get PDF412 species-group names (including 11 replacement names), and 14 genus-group names of the Alycaeidae have been introduced to date. Type materials of 85% (336) of the known species and subspecies were examined, a further 5% (19) of the taxa were studied using available non-type material, and for another 6% (22) the original descriptions were sufficiently detailed to evaluate their taxonomic status. Only 3% of the taxa (12) could not be examined. Special attention was paid to the sculpture of the embryonic whorls and the sutural tube-microtunnel system in order to provide a novel classification for this group.
In this study 363 taxa (320 species or 43 subspecies) are accepted within the family Alycaeidae. Of these, 22 have been described by the lead author and his coauthors in previous publications. In addition, there are 18 species that were formerly classified in Cycloryx and now belong to Pincerna due to its synonymy with Cycloryx. Among the remaining 323 species, 209 (65%) are transferred here to another genus, whilst 114 (35%) have remained in their original genus.
Seven genera are accepted. While some questions (e.g., the distinction between Pincerna and Alycaeus) remained unanswered, this revision made three main achievements: (1) The Dicharax species were identified based on the absence of spiral striation on the entire shell; (2) the Metalycaeus species were identified based on the spiral striation of the protoconch; (3) and Stomacosmethis was separated from Alycaeus based on the extremely short sutural tube.
Five nominal species are being synonymised with other species, and eight species are now treated as subspecies. The following replacement names are proposed: Dioryx urnula niosiensis Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus urnula var. daflaensis Godwin-Austen, 1914; Dioryx urnula rotundus Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus urnula var. globosus Godwin-Austen, 1914; Pincerna crenilabris juttingae Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus crenilabris laevis van Benthem Jutting, 1959; Pincerna crenilabris korintjiensis Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus crenilabris latecostatus van Benthem Jutting, 1959; Dicharax conicus jatingaensis Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus conicus var. nanus Godwin-Austen, 1914; Metalycaeus godwinausteni Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus neglectus Godwin-Austen, 1914; and finally Metalycaeus suhajdai Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. for Alycaeus varius Godwin-Austen, 1914.Copyright Barna Páll-Gergely et al.
