Still counting: new records, nomenclatural notes, and three new species of Phaeogenini (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Ichneumoninae) from the Afrotropical region
No full textA synthesis of the Phaeogenini occurring in the Afrotropical region is provided. Three species are newly described: Centeterichneumon nambi Dal Pos, Diller & Di Giovanni sp. nov. from Uganda, Chauvinia ganota Claridge sp. nov. from Kenya, and Kibalus nonnaritae Dal Pos & Di Giovanni sp. nov. from Uganda. Heterischnus mfongosi Rousse & van Noort, 2013 is newly recorded for Kenya and Tanzania and the male of the species is diagnosed for the first time. Also, the female of Arearia oxymoron Rousse & van Noort, 2013 is diagnosed for the first time from one of the paratype localities. Lusius tenuissimus (Heinrich, 1938) and Chauvinia nyanga Rousse & van Noort, 2013 are recorded for the first time for Uganda and Kenya, respectively. In addition, new localities are given for Chauvinia nitida (Heinrich, 1938), Heterischnus olsoufieffi (Heinrich, 1938) and Hoplophaeogenes curticornis Heinrich, 1938. A new combination, Nesostenodontus mkomazi (Rousse & van Noort, 2013) comb. nov., is proposed to accommodate Heterischnus mkomazi. An updated key to the Afrotropical genera of Phaeogenini and keys to the Afrotropical species of the genera Arearia Seyrig, Centeterichneumon Heinrich, Chauvinia Heinrich, Heterischnus Heinrich, Hoplophaeogenes Heinrich, Kibalus Rousse, van Noort & Diller, and Lusius Tosquinet are provided.

Pristomerus san Rousse & Noort 2015, sp. nov.
No full textPristomerus san sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 8ECF1D02-AFCA-4063-BEAF-6D479B1EB6F5 Fig. 33 Diagnosis Rather small; yellowish-orange overall, with basal tergites sometimes variously infuscate; face and clypeus densely and deeply punctate but clypeus apically smoother, remainder of head coriaceous; clypeus transverse; malar line long; antenna short with 26–28 flagellomeres, penultimate flagellomere subquadrate; mesosoma entirely densely, deeply and evenly punctate, except almost entire pronotum and ventral half of speculum smooth; female femoral tooth absent; ovipositor moderately short, apically sinuous. Male with ocelli, hind femur and femoral tooth enlarged, inner margins of eyes diverging ventrally, and area superomedia more slender; otherwise similar to female. Differential diagnosis Moderately sized and yellowish orange with no defined dorsal dark markings; differentiated from all other Afrotropical species by the combination of the long malar line, the almost smooth pronotum, the deep and dense punctation, the absence of a femoral tooth in females and the rather short ovipositor. Morphologically close to P. moramora and related species which are also present in Southern Africa, but the longer malar line, the smooth pronotum and the deep dense punctation of P. san sp. nov. are reliable identification cues.

Maritime and Marine Historic Environment Research Framework: the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age
No full textMaritime themes have long been established in both Neolithic and Early Bronze Age research in England. From Crawford’s (1912) identification of the western seaways as a critical conduit for prehistoric communication, through Childe’s (1946, 36) description of those seaways as‘grey waters bright with Neolithic Argonauts’, to Case’s (1969) seminal paper on the mechanics of moving domesticated cereals and animals from the continent to Britain. This early archaeological awareness of the importance of maritime activity is not surprising if wepause to remind ourselves of the island nature of the British Isles. However, since the early works of Crawford and Childe, maritime themes have dipped in and out of scholarly consciousness, as archaeology oscillates between large scale grand narratives and small scale accounts. In this process of switching focus, all too often maritime themes have slipped out of view.Oxley (2005, 1) has suggested that a major reason for this is the development of an unfortunate divide between maritime and terrestrial archaeology over the last thirty years. This has resulted in compartmentalisation of research questions where in fact there needs to be integration. As such, although this review sits within a maritime research framework, it makes a deliberate effort to integrate research themes and concerns from the broader sweep of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age studies. In addition, this document ought to be read in conjunction with the recently published rapid coastal zone assessments and regional research frameworks, as these series of documents provide crucial additional information on the state of the discipline. For this reason the consultation process is seen by all members of working group as essential part of formalising the content for the final document. Thus, what is presented should be seen as a series of suggestions and thoughts, indicative of materialemerging from the literature, recent investigations and other research frameworks. It is recognised that this will need to be modified and adapted in light of comments received from the wider archaeological community

Staande golven geinduceerd door inhomogene beluchting van een twee dimensionaal bad
No full textIn beluchte vloeistof reservoirs zijn staande golven mogelijk onder invloed van de bellenstroom. Dit onderzoek aan een twee dimensionaal bad heeft zich bij de beschrijving van dergelijke oscillaties geconcentreerd op de dynamica van de wervels aan weerszijden van de bellenstroom. Initiatie en versterking van de staande golven kunnen volgens het dynamische gedrag van deze wervels worden beschreven. Er zijn twee modellen ontwikkeld na observatie van vertraagde opnamen van het stromingsveld. Op basis van deze beelden is de modellering van de wervels in het stromingsveld tot stand gekomen en is getracht de aannamen in de modellen aan te tonen met behulp van vloeistof snelheidsmetingen. In het initiatiemodel is de geopperde precessie van de wervel slechts ten dele aangetoond, maar de metingen hebben wel tot nieuwe inzichten geleid wat betreft de interactie tussen de wervels en de bellenstroom. In het oscillatiemodel vormt een verhoogde vloeistofaanstroom over de bodemplaat een beslissende grootheid voor de mate waarmee versterking van de staande golf plaatsvindt. Deze verhoogde vloeistofaanstroom is aantoonbaar aanwezig in het stromingsveld van de staande golf. De overgangen tussen de staande golven kunnen inzichtelijker worden gemaakt door het optreden van vierkantstructuren, waarin ronde wervels circuleren. Vanuit deze stabiele situatie kunnen zich weer nieuwe staande golven instellen. Het oscillatiemodel biedt voor de lagere watervulhoogten (vulhoogte/badbreedte verhouding 1/2) zijn de bestaande modellen beter toepasbaar ter beschrijving van het optreden van de staande golven in een inhomogeen belucht vloeistofreservoir.Kramers Laboratorium voor Fysische TechnologieApplied Science

Head and body black with extensive areas of the head, mesosoma, and metasoma covered with white squamiferous setae, absent on mesopleura, medial portion of mesoscutum, anterior half of scutellum, medial dorsal and anterior ventral areas of metasoma. Scape and pedicel orange-brown, anelli and first funicle segment dark brown, grading into black for rest of flagellar segments except for last club segment, which is orange-yellow. Hind tibiae yellow-orange, except for proximal dorsal patch which is dark brown. All tarsi yellow-orange, as are distal quarter of pro and meso-tibiae, and apex of hind femora. Finer white setae present on legs. Head (Figure 5(e)) 1.44 times wider than high. Lateral ocellus closer to eye margin than to median ocellus (OOL:LOL: 0.42), situated directly adjacent to sharp occipital carinal crest, which curves inwards towards median ocellus. Scrobal impression shallow, glabrate. Interantennal projection small. Genal sulcus complete. Head elongate reticulate on face grading to imbricate on frons, with evenly dispersed white squamiferous setae present on face and frons, grading into more normal white setae on vertex, setae largely absent on posterior head including genae posterior of genal sulcus. Mandible tri-dentate (Figures 5(e) and 6(a)). Antenna (Figure 6(b,c)) with scape 3.85 times longer than wide, with flattened ventral expansion present on distal half. Pedicel 1.4 times longer than wide. Two anelli, first about half as long as, and slightly narrower than second. First funicular segment longer than wide, F2-F3 as wide as long, remaining segments wider than long, not laterally compressed. Club 1.4 times longer than wide, proximally almost as broad as preceding funicle segment, gradually narrowing to tip. Mesosoma dorsally minutely reticulate, punctiferous where setae present, covered with white squamiferous setae, except for medial mesoscutum anterior of notauli, and lateral areas of axillae. Notauli incomplete, absent posteriorly. Scutellum (Figures 5(d) and 6(d,e)) without lateral glabrate area, devoid of white setae in anterior third, but with fine, brown setae. Propodeum (Figure 6(d)) laterally glabrate, medially reticulate with short medial carina anteriorly situated; metanotal trough with a single large metanotal fovea laterad of small central fovea, with narrow elongate fovea anteriorly situated, with three pit-like fovea present medially of central metanotal fovea. Mesopleuron (Figure 5(c)) dorsally reticulate, ventrally elongate reticulate, medially finely reticulate, without setae. Sternopleural suture fused with mesopleural suture. Metapleuron covered with a dense cluster of long white setae (Figure 5(c)), which extend to the proximal dorsal surface of the hind coxa. Leg segments laterally flattened; all tibiae with sharp dorsal margin. Hind femora with a distal ventral angulate extension, curving inwards to end of femur; hind tibiae with a proximal dorsal carina. Wings hyaline; fore wing (Figure 5(f)) with narrow transverse band of black, densely distributed, modified setae; fore wing 2.5 times as long as wide. Venation light yellowish-brown. Stigmal vein strong, distinctly curved, longer than post-marginal vein. Fore wing marginal fringe present apically, extending ventrally to anal angle. Costal cell: marginal vein: stigmal vein: postmarginal vein = 15:9:4:3. Metasoma (fig.) elongate reticulate; T1 with transverse rows of scattered setae, absent medially, T3-T5 without setae for most of the dorsal medial surface; T6 with three interspersed rows of setae, only absent on midline. Posterior margin of T2 with shallow medial invagination; medial line present; posterior margin of T3-T7 straight, without medial incision or medial line. Ovipositor short. Each pygostyle with four setae, two extremely elongate, half as long as metasoma, the remaining pair half this length. Male. Unknown. Diagnosis. Tanaostigma ukumbusho is distinguished from other Tanaostigma by having a transverse band of strongly modified, dense, black setae on the fore wing, extending from the marginal vein to the anal angle (Figure 5(f)), similar to T. mulu, which, however, has a much weaker transverse band, a shorter stigmal vein and less elongate fore wing (compare Figure 3(f)). Tanaostigma ukumbusho has a stigmal vein almost 1.4X longer than the post-marginal vein and a fore wing 2.5X longer than wide (Figure 5(f)). Presence of modified setae is shared with the Neotropical species T. stanleyi, which however has a patterned appearance. Notauli incomplete, absent posteriorly, a character state shared with T. mulu, all other species have complete notauli. The stigmal vein is strongly curved (Figure 5(f)). The scutellum lacks the lateral glabrate area (Figure 6(d)); and posterior margin of T2-T4 without medial incision (Figure 2(f)). All three of these character states are shared with the other two African species and the Neotropical T. stanleyi, which in contrast to the black African species, is strikingly coloured with pink, orange and white areas on the pleural regions and face. The Oriental species, T. indica also has a curved stigmal vein, but this species has glabrate areas on the scutellum and medial incisions on the posterior tergite as in the Neotropical species. The remaining species of Tanaostigma have a straight stigmal vein, glabrate areas on the scutellum and medial incisions on the metasomal tergites. Affinities. See under T. mulu. Etymology. The species epithet ‘ukumbusho’ is Kiswahili (a widely spoken East African language) for ‘ memorial ’, and is chosen to honour the memory of John LaSalle. Noun in apposition. Distribution. Kenya. Only known from Coast Province. Biology. Unknown. Habitat.
