Sitonini of Israel (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae)
No full textA survey of the weevil tribe Sitonini was conducted in Israel, recording a total of 23 species in four genera. Sitona aliciae Velázquez de Castro n. sp. and S. wahrmani Velázquez de Castro and Friedman n. sp. are described, and five additional Sitona species (S. brucki Allard, S. demoflysi Normand, S. fairmaieri Allard, S. lepidus Gyllenhal, S. puncticollis Stephens, and Schelopius planifrons Fåhraeus) are recorded from Israel for the first time. Genitalia illustrations are given for new and poorly known species (i.e., S. brucki, S. syriacus Stierlin, S. fairmairei, and S. demoflysi). Data on the distribution and host plants of species and keys for their determination are provided.

The genus Sharpia Tournier in Israel (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Curculioninae)
No full textFour species of the rare and scarcely known weevil genus Sharpia Tournier (Curculionidae: Curculioninae: Smicronychini) in Israel are recorded; two, S. sabulicola and S. torretassoi, for the first time, in addition to previously recorded S. rubida and S. soluta. The association of S. rubida with Cressa cretica is proved, and the association of S. soluta and S. torretassoi with Convolvulus dorycnium and C. lanatus respectively is recorded for the first time. The status of S. ‘filirostrisʼ is discussed. A key and illustrations for all species are provided.

The Silvanidae of Israel (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea)
No full textThe Silvanidae is a family comprising mainly small, subcortical, saproxylic, beetles with the more or less dorsoventrally flattened body. It is a family of high economic importance, as some of the species are pests of stored goods; some of them are distributed throughout the world, mainly by human activities. Nineteen species of Silvanidae in ten genera are hereby recorded from Israel. Eleven of those are considered alien, of which four are established either in nature or indoor; eight species are either indigenous or have been introduced in the very remote past. Seven species, Psammoecus bipunctatus, P. triguttatus, Parasilvanus fairemairei, Silvanus castaneus, S. inarmatus, S. ?mediocris and Uleiota planatus, are recorded from Israel for the first time. Airaphilus syriacus was recorded only once in 1913; its status is doubtful. A. abeillei may occur in Israel, although no material is available. Twelve species are associated with stored products, although only three, Ahasverus advena, Oryzaephilus surinamensis and O. mercator, are of distinct economic importance; the rest are either rare or only occasionally intercepted on imported goods. An identification key for all genera and species is provided.

Author, verify your references! Or, the accuracy of references in Israeli medical journals
No full textThe high rate of citation errors in bibliographies in medical journals has been a source of concern in recent years. We examined the accuracy of references published during 1 year in two Israeli medical journals. Only two-thirds of the randomly selected references examined were error free; 8% had major errors preventing identification of the cited article. Most of the errors found (76%) were in referencing the author(s) or title of the article. We conclude that errors in citation appear also in Israeli medical journals. Editors should emphasize the importance of reference verification; however, primary responsibility for the accuracy of the reference list rests with the author. Authors should exercise more care in preparing bibliographies and should invest more effort in verification of quoted references
The spider genus Oecobius (Araneae: Oecobiidae) in Israel, with description of a new species and new synonymies
No full textAn annotated list of nine species of Oecobius Lucas, 1846, known from Israel to date, is given. Five of them are recorded in the country for the first time; the previous tentative records of another two species in Israel are confirmed. Two names, Hersiliola brachyplura Strand, 1913 and Hersiliola b. demaculata Strand, 1914 are considered junior subjective synonyms of the widespread O. navus Blackwall, 1859. A new species, O. armiachi n. sp. is described from Israel based on both sexes. The new species differs from all congeners by the shape of the copulatory organs, and most likely represents a yet undescribed genus.

The genus Phaestacoenitus Smits van Burgst (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Phrudinae) in Israel, with description of a new species and an identification key
No full textA review of the genus Phaestacoenitus Smits van Burgst, 1913 in Israel is presented. A new species, Ph. fuscipennis n. sp., is described and Ph. longicaudus n. stat. is recorded from Israel for the first time; both species are illustrated along with the type species of genus, Ph. demeyerei Smits van Burgst, 1913. All known Phaestacoenitus species are keyed.

Head lice (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae: Pediculus humanus capitis) infestations in children and adults in Israel
No full textHead lice infestation is a public health challenge even in developed nations, and 4–14-year old children are most affected; information regarding the infestation rates of adults in developed countries is scarce. An Internet-based survey on lice infestation was distributed to mothers in Israel and their responses were analyzed. Out of 959 responders, 895 (93.3%) were mothers (73.7% with >12 years of education). Mothers were more often infested (59.2%) and more likely (3 times or more) to be infested during adulthood, compared to fathers or other family adults. Mothers of three or more children were infested more often than those with 1 or 2 children. Mothers who reported professional contact with children other than their own (child care staff, teachers etc.) were infested significantly more often than those who did not report such contact. In families with more than one child, the eldest sibling was infested significantly more often than his/her brothers and/or sisters. In families in which the eldest child was infested at least once, the subsequent children were significantly more often infested than children in families, where the eldest child was never infested. In 67.4% of families with children of both genders, girls were infested more often than boys; in 42.1% of all-boy families with more than one boy, one of the boys was infested more often than his brothers, while in 47.6% of the all-girl families with more than one girl, one of the girls was infested more often than others. Responsibility for head lice treatment rested primarily on the mother (78%); in 18.8% of families it was shared by both parents. A relatively large proportion of highly educated mothers from a developed country such as Israel self-report head lice infestation during adulthood. The article lists a series of recommendations for health care and education authorities and professionals, academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies and parents, aiming to diminish the national prevalence of head lice infestation.
