    Diospilus podobe PAPP, new (Figs 8-12) Diospilus podobe PAPP 1995: 106 type locality: Costa Rica, Surrubes, female holotype in Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology), Budapest (No. 7686). M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d 1, 1 Honduras, Cortés Parque Nacional Cusuco, 5 km N Buenos Aires, 1529N/8829’N / 8813’W, 1: 15 July 1995 and 1: 30 July 1995, leg. R. Cave. The species was originally described on the basis of a single female specimen. A pair of specimens: one female and one male were caught in Honduras, they proved to represent the species in question. The male specimen is new to science, the female deviates from the holotype in a few features. D e s c r i p t i o n of the male: Similar to the female holotype. Body 3.3 mm long. Antenna with 28 antennomeres. Head in dorsal view 1.8 times as broad as long, temple somewhat longer than eye (Fig. 8). Forewing: pterostigma 2.6 times as long as wide (Fig. 12). Hind femur 3.3 times as long as broad medially (Fig. 11). Legs whitish to pale yellow. Deviating features of the female: Body 3.2 mm long. Antenna with 29 antennomeres. Forewing: r short though distinct, 3-SR 0.8 times as long as 2-SR. Ovipositor sheath short, as long as hind tibia + basitarsus combined. Legs whitish to pale yellow. Host unknown.

    THE EDUCATION AND THE DEMANDS OF LABOUR MARKET

    No full text
    In the present study the author intend to discuss the role of education in economy and the relationship between education and the current state of Hungarian labor market. Education became one of the largest sub-systems of modern societies in the past century. One of the most important endeavors of employment policy, according to Galasi, is to establish stronger harmony between training and employment. The key for the reduction of unemployment is that training should better serve labor market demands. We are astoundingly under informed about how a degree is exploited on the labor market, what is the expected time of the return of a certain qualification, and which degrees do not prevail without the return of investment.role of education, Hungary, problems, Labor and Human Capital, Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,

    A revision of the Bracon Fabricius species in Wesmael’s collection deposited in Brussels (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Braconinae)

    No full text
    An account of the taxonomic position of the genus Bracon Fabricius, 1804 is presented. In his monograph Wesmael (1838: 7-58) made a survey of 48 nominal species of Bracon occurring in Belgium. Out of the 48 species thirty-seven were described by Wesmael himself as new species, eleven more species had previously been described by Fabricius (three species), Nees (seven species) and Spinola (one species). The Bracon material studied by Wesmael is deposited in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels. Type (holo-, lecto-, paralectotype) designations are made for Wesmael’s species and neotype designations for Nees sensu Wesmael’s species. Redescriptions, comments on distributions and their taxonomic positions are presented. Palpibracon subgen. nov. is established (type species Bracon delibator Haliday, 1833) for fi ve Bracon species with long maxillary palpi in the Holarctic (four species) and Ethiopian Region (one species). The following fifteen Bracon species names proved to be junior synonyms (valid names in italics): B. dichromus Wesmael, 1838 = B. carpaticus Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. erraticus Wesmael, 1838 = B. bellicosus Papp, 1971 syn. nov., = B. exarator Marshall, 1885 syn. nov., = B. praetermissus Marshall, 1885 syn. nov., B. vectensis Marshall, 1885 syn. nov.; B. fuscicornis Wesmael, 1838 = B. levicarinatus Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. immutator Nees, 1834 = B. breviusculus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. intercessor Nees, 1834 = B. laetus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. larvicida Wesmael, 1838 = B. crassiusculus Szépligeti, 1901 syn. nov.; B. longicollis Wesmael, 1838 = B. subcylindricus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. megapterus Wesmael, 1838 = B. biimpressus Telenga, 1936 syn. nov.; B. nigratus Wesmael, 1838 = B. orbicularis Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. osculator Nees, 1811 = B. coniferarum Fahringer, 1927 (Schmiedeknecht in litt.) syn. nov.; B. picticornis Wesmael, 1838 = B. vitripennis Ratzeburg, 1852 syn. nov.; B. titubatus Wesmael, 1838 = B. fuscipennis Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov. The species Bracon (Lucobracon) turolus Papp, 1984 is revalidated (suppressed under the name B. (Glabrobracon) nigriventris Wesmael, 1838 by Tobias & Belokobylskij 2000: 162). A historic discussion of the subgeneric division of the Bracon species is given

    Toni sentimentali nelle poesie di Gábor Dayka

    No full text
    ABSTRACT In this paper, I intend to explore the influence of sentimentalism in the works of Gábor Dayka (1769–1796), a Hungarian poet, an author of sentimental poems imbued with the ideals of the Enlightenment. The sentimental tones of his verses derive first of all from being misunderstood and oppressed and from the impossibility of unveiling the opaque sadness of the mysterious melancholy. Dayka, forced to choose the ecclesiastical career and then abandon it because of his liberal ideas, gradually becomes a sentimental and pessimistic poet who thinks love is painful and projects his pain into nature. I will focus on the sentimental means of expression of Dayka from the poem titled Rettenetes éjszaka (Terrible Night) to Titkos bú (Mysterious Melancholy). STRESZCZENIE Artykuł analizuje wpływ sentymentalizmu na twórczość węgierskiego poety Gábora Dayki (1769–1796), autora sentymentalnych wierszy przepojonych ideałami oświecenia. Sentymentalne tony jego wierszy wynikają przede wszystkim z niezrozumienia ze strony środowiska literackiego oraz z niemożności ujawnienia nieprzejrzystego smutku tajemniczej melancholii, która go dręczyła. Dayka, zmuszony do wybrania kariery kościelnej, a następnie porzucenia jej dla swoich liberalnych idei, stopniowo zmienia się w sentymentalnego i pesymistycznego poetę, który uważa miłość za bolesne doświadczenie i przenosi swój ból na naturę. W artykule podjęto próbę analizy sentymentalnych środków wyrazu Dayki od poezji Rettenetes éjszaka (Straszna noc) po Titkos bú (Tajemnicza melancholia)

    Poecilosomella kittenbergeri sp. n. (Figs 17–21, and PAPP 1990: figs 14–17 under P. longecostata (DUDA)) Holotype male (HNHM): Africa for., Katona [= K. Kittenberger], Kibosho 1600 m [N Tanzania], (on the other side of the label) “ 1904.IX.1–8. ” – [red bordered] Paralectotypus “ Leptocera m (Poecilosomella) longecostata Duda ” [L. PAPP’ s handwriting]. Paratypes (HNHM): 6 males 8 females: same as for the holotype. 1 male 1 female: UGANDA: 16 mi. NW. of Bushenyi, XII – 6–57, 1450 m, E. S. Ross & R. E. Leech collectors.(cf. PAPP 1990: 145). Measurements in mm: body length 2.34 (holotype), 2.20- 2.63 (paratypes), wing length 2.09 (holotype), 2.03–2.62 (paratypes), wing width 0.90 (holotype), 0.84–1.04 (paratypes). All the body features are mostly resemble P. longecostata. Facial plate and anterior half of frons reddish. 4 (5) pairs of medium-long interfrontal setae (a majority of P. longecostata specimens with 5 pairs but since there are specimens with 4 pairs only, this does not properly separate them). Anterior katepisternal pair much thinner and only 2/3 as long as posterior pair (like in P. longecostata). Second costal section of the holotype 0.515, third section 0.505 mm, ratio 1.02 (holotype), curvature angled with a minute vein appendage. Another 2 males and 2 females of the paratypes are with minute appendages, i.e. most of the specimens are without it. Costal ratio may be more than 1.0, but never much more. Apical section of R 2 +3 of P. longecostata less angled and curvature never with appendage but of course, this is not sufficient to separate the two species. Similarly, intra-crossvein section of M slightly shorter or equal to hind crossvein. Figures on male genitalia in PAPP’ s (1990) paper were made on a Kibosho paralectotype male, i.e. they actually showed the genitalia of P. kittenbergeri sp. n. Ventral (cercal) area of the epandrialcercal complex without any processes; ridges are so slight that they are not discernible at low magnification. Medial part bare, sub-laterally with a few long setae (PAPP 1990: fig. 14). Lateral view figure of surstylus (PAPP 1990: fig. 16) is not sufficient for comparison, although the figure is otherwise correct. Surstylus in its broadest view (Fig. 17) clearly in 3 lobes: apical thorn on caudal process rather short, cranial lobe with numerous wavy setae. Medial lobe small, with fine hairs. Proximal half of surstylus with numerous very long and thick setae. Caudal surface of surstylus convex or straight (Fig. 18, best seen in ventral view). Postgonite of the Kibosho paratypes (Fig. 19) and that of an Ugandan paratype (Fig. 20) are slightly different but this is clearly within the intra-specific variance. Apical half of postgonite otherwise shaped as in P. longecostata (cf. Fig. 25), proximal half shorter and broader. Postgonite without longer hairs. Caudal part of basiphallus more down-curved (Fig. 21, PAPP 1990: fig. 15), its pegs (thornlets) are short and blunt, in contrast to those of P. longecostata (cf. Fig. 26). Female cerci blackish like in P. longecostata (DUDA). Cercus with a pair of long apical and a pair of long medial subapical hairs; unfortunately they are the same as in P. longecostata. Poecilosomella kittenbergeri sp. n. is very closely related to P. longecostata (DUDA), its distinctness was not appreciated by me in 1990. In addition, other species of this species group are to be separated by an analysis of the male genitalia. In P. kittenbergeri the numerous long setae on proximal part of surstylus are the most characteristic feature. Hitherto this is the only species in the group, where the emerging ridges of the cercal part is so low (slight), that they are not discernible at low magnification (PAPP 1990: fig. 14). Etymology. I name this new species P. kittenbergeri, to honour KÁLMÁN KITTENBERGER, the collector of its type series. As in many other instances, “Katona” was written on the labels to designate the collector. Dr GÉZA HORVÁTH, the Director General of the Natural History Museum in those years, “magyarized” Kittenberger’s name to “Katona”. It was made without consultation with KITTENBERGER, and although he objected to it repeatedly, the labels were not changed (cf. FEKETE 1962). Based on a letter, which KITTENBERGER sent to ARZÉN DAMASZKIN on the 3rd of September 1904 (FEKETE 1962), we may be sure, that during those days, which are written on the collection label, KITTENBERGER was convalescent on Mr. MEIMARIDIS’ s plantation at Kibosho (near Moshi, North Tanzania), after his “lion calamity”, as he said (a lion almost killed him in June).Published as part of Papp, L., 2010, Seven New Afrotropical Species Of Poecilosomella Duda (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae), pp. 9-41 in Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 56 (1) on pages 19-20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.573194

    Rachispoda basilewskyi (VANSCHUYTBROECK, 1962), comb. n. Paracollinella basilewskyi VANSCHUYTBROECK, 1962: 473. Leptocera basilewskyi: ROHÁ&Ccaron;EK et al. 2001: 151. Material studied: Holotype male (MRAC, double mounted on a long polyporus blicklet): 1) [yellowish] HOLOTYPUS m; 2) Coll. Mus. Congo, Tanganyika Terr.: Longido, Masai Distr., 1500 m. 17/ 20-IV–1957. 3) Mission Zoolog. I. R.S.A.C. en Afrique orientale (P. Basilewsky et N. Leleup); 4 [reddish] TYPE; 5) P. Vanschuytbroeck det., 195 “ Paracollinella m basilewskyi nsp.” [pencil hand-writing of P. V.]; 6) “ Rachispoda basilewskyi (Vanschuytbroeck, 1962) holotype L. Papp 2011”; 7) [reverse code label of MRAC] RMCA ENT 000016277. Some of its setae displaced or broken off, wings stuck together. Paratype male (MRAC, abdomen and genitalia removed and kept in a plastic microvial with glycerol): 1) PARATYPUS m; 2)–3): same as on HT; 4) “ Paracollinella Basilewskyi n. sp. det. P. Vanschuytbroek [sic!] [handwriting with fine pen, P. V.]; 5) “ Rachispoda basilewskyi (Vanschuytbroeck, 1962) L. Papp 2011 ”. It is without head but otherwise well-preserved. This species is obviously a member of the R. fuscipennis group of Rachispoda. Foremost pair of dorsocentrals medially curved, scutellum with 8 larger and several short (mainly lateral marginal) setae. Facial plate bulging, bulbous prominent between antennae. Three strong pairs of interfrontal setae plus some short ones. I was able to detect 3 acrostichal macrochaetae. Discal cell with distinct posteroapical corner, paratype with minute vein stub there. Mid tibia with long ventral posteroapical bristle (similar to that of the Leptocera nigra species group). Ventral preapical seta of mid tibia much longer and thicker than ventral metatarsal seta. Hind tibia anterodorsally and posterodorsally with numerous long setae. A study of the male genitalia of the paratype confirmed that this species belongs to the Rachispoda fuscipennis species group. Known only from the type locality (Tanzania).Published as part of Papp, L., 2012, A Review Of The Afrotropical Species Of Leptocera Olivier (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae), pp. 225-258 in Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 58 (3) on pages 252-253, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.573588

    Mislocatus Papp, 2014, gen. nov.

    No full text
    Mislocatus gen. nov. (Figs 54–61) Type species: Ceroptera ealensis Vanschuytbroeck, 1951: 11, by present designation. Gender: masculine. Etymology. I name this new genus as ‘ Mislocatus ’ (Latin: wrongly placed), since its type species had formerly been placed in the genus Ceroptera, which it does not relate to. Diagnosis. Subcostal vein conspicuous: clearly detectable to the 4 / 5 length of R 1. Male postabdomen and genitalia are very distinct: medial caudal part of sternite 5 with a better sclerotised area, which forms half of a ring, this medio-caudal part continued in a pair of straight thorns and a peculiar pair of long sickle-shaped processes with sharp long thorn-like apex and blunt short black pegs on its caudal margin; synsternite fused to rather large laterally and ventrally directed right side sclerites; sternite 8 part large, comparatively long, epandrium simple without the large epandrial processes of Ceroptera spp., subepandrial sclerite very small (Fig. 60) and strongly connected to cerci, cercus small, very shortly fused sagittally with a pair of strong setae, surstylus simple, horizontal with numerous long setae, basiphallus comparatively large compact without epiphallus, distiphallus long and comparatively thin, phallapodeme rod-like without discus-like basal thickening as in Ceroptera spp. The genus was properly fitted in Papp’s (2008) key to couplet 25. Description. See Papp (2008), p. 62. No longer (upcurved) genal seta, postocular seta indistinct. Legs. Fore femur with some long posteroventral setae but no robust basal setae. Mid tibia without a posterodorsal seta in basal half. Wing unicolorous, costa produced markedly beyond apex of R 4 + 5. Abdomen. Preabdominal sclerites other than male sternite 5 normal, although tergites 3 to 5 transverse, more than twice broader than long, weakly sclerotised with rather long marginal setae. Male. Preabdominal tergites and sternites not reduced. Sternite 5 (Fig. 54) extremely large, not only broad but long with numerous very long setae on all its surface. Medial caudal part of sternite 5 with a better sclerotised area, which forms half of a ring and embraces less sclerotised and melanised area, which bears thin setae. This mediocaudal part continued in a pair of straight thorns and a peculiar pair of process: long sickle-shaped process with sharp long thorn-like apex and blunt short black pegs on its caudal margin (Fig. 55). Figure 56 on synsternite drawn in an unusual view, is a key figure to illustrate structure of the postabdominal sclerites. Synsternite fused to rather large right side sclerites; sternite 8 part large, comparatively long. Epandrium simple without large epandrial processes of Ceroptera sp. (see e.g. Papp 2008: fig. 6). Subepandrial sclerite very small (Fig. 60), and strongly connected to cerci. Cercus (Fig. 61) small, very shortly fused sagittally with a pair of strong setae. Surstylus (Fig. 58) simple, horizontal with numerous long setae. Basiphallus comparatively large, compact without epiphallus (Fig. 57, cf. e.g. Papp 2008: fig. 4). Distiphallus long and comparatively thin. Phallapodeme (Fig. 57) rod-like without discus-like basal thickening as in Ceroptera spp. Postgonite (Fig. 59) long simple with blunt apical part. Female abdomen and genitalia. Syntergite 1 + 2 well sclerotised but short, only 0.15 mm, its longest marginal setae 0.15–0.16 mm. Tergites 3 to 5 transverse, 0.05 mm long but as least 0.13 mm broad, weakly sclerotised with rather long marginal setae. Sternites 2 to 5 all weakly sclerotised with measurements (in mm): 0.15 x 0.14, 0.17 x 0.14, 0.17 x 0.15, 0.15 x 0.17. Sternite 8 simple semicircular with 3 pairs of short marginal setae. Tergite 8 not divided though less melanised sagittally. Tergites 6 and 7 as well as sternites 6 and 7 all quadratic, broader than long. Epiproct shield-shaped with a long dorsal pair of setae. Cercus 0.07 mm long with 4 pairs of long setae (dorsal, apical, lateral, ventral subapical), longest one 0.010 mm (!). Hypoproct 0.08 mm broad but only 0.025 mm long with thin marginal setae. Spermathecae long cylindrical (0.06–0.065 mm long, 0.025 mm broad), distal end rounded. Sclerotised ducts only 1 / 2 as long as width of spermatheca. Remark. I found a female specimen in the BMSA material at a late phase of the preparation of the MS; this is why I did not make figures of the female genitalia, but I give a detailed description instead.Published as part of Papp, László, 2014, New genera of Afrotropical limosinine sphaerocerids (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae), pp. 101-130 in Zootaxa 3764 (2) on pages 114-116, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3764.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/22766
