Chinese species of the genus \u3ci\u3eTricondyla\u3c/i\u3e Latreille, 1822 (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) and a new record for the country
No full textTricondyla wiesneri Naviaux, 2002 (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) is reported from China for the first time. Photographs, short descriptions, and an identification key for all six taxa of the genus Tricondyla Latreille, 1822 known from China are given.
The first author recently received several specimens of Tricondyla wiesneri Naviaux, 2002 that had been collected in Yingjiang County, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The second author compared them with the type specimens and confirmed the identification. The species was originally described from Laos, Louang Namtha province (Naviaux 2002: 48), later reported from Vietnam, Dien Bien province (Wiesner 2022: 191), and now for the first time from China, Yunnan province. According to Wu (2011: 31) and Wiesner (2020: 37) five taxa of the genus Tricondyla Latreille, 1822 were known from China. With this new record the number is increased to six, and photographs, short descriptions, and an identification key of these species are provided herein

A new genus and species of tiger beetle, \u3ci\u3ePseudocollyris shooki\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae), from Yunnan, China
No full textA new genus, Pseudocollyris Bi and Wiesner, is established for the new species Pseudocollyris shooki Bi and Wiesner (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae), from Western Yunnan, China. A description, diagnostic features and illustrations of habitus are provided.
In 2017, the first author collected one remarkable tiger beetle during a survey in Western Yunnan, China. The beetle shows an elongated body, a metallic purple elytral surface with a pair of bright median spots and coarse punctation. Such appearance superficially resembles species of the tribe Collyridini (e.g. Collyris Fabricius, 1801 or Neocollyris Horn, 1901). However, detailed investigations of the beetle indicate it belongs to a new genus of the tribe Cicindelini (subtribe Prothymina) close to Pronyssa Bates, 1874 and is described herein
Hidden Quantum Markov Models and non-adaptive read-out of many-body states
No full textStochastic finite-state generators are compressed descriptions of infinite time series. Alternatively, compressed descriptions are given by quantum finite- state generators [K. Wiesner and J. P. Crutchfield, Physica D 237, 1173 (2008)]. These are based on repeated von Neumann measurements on a quantum dynamical system. Here we generalise the quantum finite-state generators by replacing the von Neumann pro jections by stochastic quantum operations. In this way we assure that any time series with a stochastic compressed description has a compressed quantum description. Moreover, we establish a link between our stochastic generators and the sequential readout of many-body states with translationally-invariant matrix product state representations. As an example, we consider the non-adaptive read-out of 1D cluster states. This is shown to be equivalent to a Hidden Quantum Model with two internal states, providing insight on the inherent complexity of the process. Finally, it is proven by example that the quantum description can have a higher degree of compression than the classical stochastic one.Stochastic finite-state generators are compressed descriptions of infinite time series.
