Richard G. Huber: An Oral History
No full textThe streaming video presentation was created using portions of an oral history taken in 1991. In it Professor Huber discusses his experiences as Dean of Boston College Law School, his opinion on Father Drinan\u27s leadership, and his thoughts on legal education. Despite the time that has passed since it was recorded, it remains a riveting account of Huber\u27s history and association with BC Law. The video runs approximately 50 minutes

Galapa Huber 2000
No full textGalapa Huber, 2000 Notes The genus Galapa was established for two species endemic to the Galapagos Islands (Huber 2000). A third species was described in 2014, also from the Galapagos Islands (Baert 2014). The new Venezuelan species below is assigned to Galapa because it shares two specific similarities: (1) unique (among Ninetinae) armature of the male chelicerae (processes on male cheliceral fangs but otherwise unmodified; compare Huber 2000: fig. 384 and Fig. 181); (2) dorsal (in the new species below slightly prolateral) process of the procursus (compare Huber 2000: figs 383, 387 with Fig. 180). In addition, the general morphology of the proximal palpal segments is similar (slender femur, large tibia), and the genital bulb of the new species below strongly resembles the bulb of G. baerti (Gertsch & Peck, 1992) (compare Huber 2000: fig. 381 with Fig. 178). This suggests that Galapa may in fact be a widespread genus. An undescribed species from Costa Rica (Guanacaste, no precise locality data; deposited in ZFMK) may also belong in this group and thus support this view. It seems to lack a dorsal process on the procursus but shares the unique cheliceral morphology and is also otherwise very similar. A formal test of the monophyly of the genus does not exist.Published as part of Huber, Bernhard A. & Villarreal, Osvaldo, 2020, On Venezuelan pholcid spiders (Araneae, Pholcidae), pp. 1-317 in European Journal of Taxonomy 718 on page 58, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.718.1101, http://zenodo.org/record/406957
Mecolaesthus tabay Huber 2000
No full textMecolaesthus tabay Huber, 2000 Figs 218–219, 257–265, 271–273, 1042 Mecolaesthus tabay Huber, 2000: 261, figs 1040–1043 (♂). Diagnosis (amendments; see Huber 2000) Females are easily distinguished from most known congeners by strongly protruding epigynum (similar M. cornutus Huber, 2000); from M. cornutus by triangular and much smaller epigynum (Fig. 271; width: ~ 420 µm, vs 580 µm in M. cornutus); from M. peckorum Huber, 2000 also by triangular rather than oval epigynal plate. Note, however, that the female of M. azulita Huber, 2000 is unknown.

Tibia 1 in five females: 3.9–4.3 (mean 4.1). Distribution Known from two neighboring localities in the Venezuelan state Mérida (Fig. 1042), between about 2050 and 2690 m a.s.l. Natural history This species occurs in close proximity to several very similar and putatively closely related species, i.e., M. tabay, M. peckorum, and M. cornutus. In the field there were sometimes no obvious microhabitat differences among these species (e.g., in Monte Zerpa): all seemed to live in very similar sheltered spaces close to the ground. In Mucuy, different species of Mecolaesthus seemed to prefer slightly different microhabitats and/or different altitudes (see under M. cornutus above).Published as part of Huber, Bernhard A. & Villarreal, Osvaldo, 2020, On Venezuelan pholcid spiders (Araneae, Pholcidae), pp. 1-317 in European Journal of Taxonomy 718 on pages 79-82, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.718.1101, http://zenodo.org/record/406957
Archigonatocerus Huber, gen. n.
No full textArchigonatocerus Huber, gen. n. (Figs 39, 40) Type species. Archigonatocerus balticus Huber, by present designation. Diagnosis. Within Gonatocerini, females of Archigonatocerus are distinguished from those of the genera of extant Gonatocerini as well as from the four previously described fossil species in Gonatocerini, all originally classified in Gonatocerus, by the following combination of features: fore wing venation almost 0.5 wing length or more; hypochaeta (only visible in one species) next to proximal macrochaeta. Description. FEMALE. Large specimens, 1820–1840 in length. Colour. Body uniformly dark brown (but apparently yellow in A. longivena Huber because entire body enclosed in thin layer of trapped air). Head. Face bulging below toruli, so toruli apparently horizontal, facing upward. Length about 0.8 × height. Antenna. Funicle with 8 segments. Mesosoma. Dorsellum rhomboidal. Wings. Fore wing wide, with venation almost half (0.45 ×) or more (0.6 ×) (Figs 39 b, 40 b) as long as fore wing length, with an asetose line or fold (not always visible depending on lighting) extending from stigmal vein apex to posterior margin of wing near the apex (Figs 39 a, 40 a), and with microtrichae present behind venation (in one species sparser behind base of venation). Parastigma with hypochaeta much closer to proximal than to distal macrochaeta (Fig. 39 b). Stigmal vein with apex apparently truncate apically. Postmarginal vein apparently present in one species (Fig. 40 b) and possibly several times as long as its width, longer than stigmal vein. Metasoma. Petiole evidently short, not visible. Gaster longer than mesosoma. Ovipositor sheaths as long as gaster and slightly exserted. MALE. Unknown Discussion. Two plesiomorphic features suggest that Archigonatocerus is the most ancenstral of the genera included in Gonatocerini. The long venation (almost half the wing length or more) and the position of the hypochaeta in next to the proximal macrochaetae (only visible in one of the species). A third feature that may be plesiomorphic is the longitudinal fold that extends obliquely from the stigma almost to the posterior margin of the wing towards the apex (Figs 39, 40). The three extinct species from the Kishenehn shale formation in Montana, USA (Huber and Greenwalt 2011), transferred below from Gonatocerus to Cosmocomoidea, differ from the two new species of Archigonatocerus by having a much shorter gaster and ovipositor sheaths, shorter fore wing venation, and shorter, thicker funicle segments. The fourth previously described fossil species in Gonatocerus, G. henneberti Meunier from Baltic amber (Meunier 1905), may indeed belong correctly to Gonatocerus based on the relatively narrow fore wing, but the type is lost so the specimen cannot be re-examined to confirm its placement; it has much narrower fore wing and shorter gaster than the new fossil species of Gonatocerus, described below. The fossil record for Gonatocerini thus includes three genera with at least one fossil species in each: Archigonatocerus, Cosmocomoidea, and Gonatocerus. Etymology. From archi-, Greek for beginning + Gonatocerus. The name refers to the fact that this is a fossil genus, assumed to be the earliest lineage in Gonatocerini. The gender is masculine. Included species: Archigonatocerus balticus Huber. TL: Eocene Baltic amber, present day European locality not given. Archigonatocerus longivena Huber. TL: Eocene Baltic amber, present day European locality not given.Published as part of Huber, John T., 2015, World reclassification of the Gonatocerus group of genera (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), pp. 1-184 in Zootaxa 3967 (1) on pages 13-14, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3967.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28871
