Diagnosis Maximum pronotal width closely behind anterior third; margin of pronotum rounded, bearing four triangular lateral teeth with wide bases. Elytra with dark brown to blackish maculae at base, on the disc and with a dark apex. The large maculae on the disc often form a transverse band, connected to the apical maculae by the darkened suture; striae on elytral disc wider than interstices. Parameres with wide bases and club-shaped extensions, bearing numerous long setae. Differential diagnosis Ps. leleupi sp. nov. differs from Ps. hacquardi, Ps. parallelus, Ps. marginicollis, and Ps. personatus by wider elytral striae; from Ps. personatus also by wider bases of lateral teeth of pronotum, and broad parameres with numerous long setae. It differs from Ps. laetulus by maximum pronotal width being closer to middle, lateral margin of pronotum more curved, parameres with wide basis, club-shaped extensions, and longer setae; from Ps. marginicollis by longer lateral teeth of pronotum, and by parameres with wide basis and club-shaped extensions; from Ps. parallelus by longer lateral teeth of pronotum, and extensive dark maculae on elytra with darkened area at elytral basis; from Ps. luchti sp. nov. by darkened elytral bases and parameres with wide basis, club-shaped extensions, and numerous longer setae. Description BODY. Elongate oval, total length 2.80-3.20 mm (Fig. 5A). Elytra with dark brown to blackish maculae at base, on the disc and with a dark apex.

    Psammoecus nyakabuyensis sp. nov. Fig. 2A–G urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: FEA38F3 A- 722 B- 45B0-B336-1C885 FDB 7262 Diagnosis The following combination of character states is diagnostic for this species: 1 st antennomere 2.1 times as long as 2 nd antennomere; maximum pronotal width near middle; lateral margins of pronotum with distinct, triangular teeth with wide bases, anterior angle of pronotum with distinct denticle; elytral striae narrower than interstices; interstices of lateral elytral striae with very small tubercles; median lobe of aedeagus wide, abruptly narrowed towards apex; parameres distinctly separated from basal piece. Differential diagnosis Psammoecus nyakabuyensis sp. nov. resembles P. luchti Karner, 2012 and can be distinguished by its narrower elytral striae; it differs from P. luchti and all other African Psammoecus also by the shape of the male genitalia. Etymology The specific epithet is derived from the name of the locality where the type material was collected. Material examined Holotype ♂ ‘Afrika RUANDA | Pref. Cyangugu | Umg. Nyakabuye | 17.2.1985 [17 Feb. 1985] | leg. H. Mühle’ (SMF). Paratypes 2 ♀♀ ‘Afrika RUANDA | Pref. Cyangugu | Umg. Nyakabuye | 16.10.1984 [16 Oct. 1984] | leg. H. Mühle’ (MKF). 1 ♂ ‘Afrika/ Rwanda | Bez. Cyangugu | Urw.v.Nyakabuye | 1700–1900 m | leg.V.u.C. Brachat | 14.– 27.2.1985 [14–27 Feb. 1985]’ (MKF). Description of holotype BODY (as in Fig. 2A). Oval, castaneous, total length 3.05 mm. Elytra with transverse, dark brown maculae near middle. Antennomeres 8–10 dark brown, 11 bright testaceous. HEAD (as in Fig. 2B). Eyes large, prominent; temples distinctly narrowed immediately behind eyes, temple angle 65°; head width 0.79 mm, length 0.46 mm. Puncturation on vertex coarse, punctures about 1.25 times as large as an eye facet diameter, contiguous laterally, well separated medially; pubescence composed of short, semierect setae, directed anteriorly; microsculpture absent. Longitudinal impressions on vertex short and shallow, curved outwardly, attaining 1/5 of eyes. Eyes 0.21 mm long, distance of inner margins 0.50 mm. Temples immediately narrowed behind eyes, slightly curved. Antennae comparatively stout, 1.44 mm long; antennomere proportions: 2.5: 1.2: 1.3: 1.3: 1.3: 1.3: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 2.0 (Fig. 2D). PRONOTUM (as in Fig. 2C). Wider than head, lateral margins strongly curved, widest at middle, surface slightly impressed near posterior angles and basis; width 0.90 mm, length 0.64 mm. Anterior angles with small denticles; lateral margins with four wide teeth; T I very small, only slightly larger than anterior denticles, T II about twice as big as T I, T III and T IV of same size, about twice as big as T II; posterior angle with small denticle, located in the middle between T IV and posterior margin. Puncturation and pubescence on pronotal disk as on vertex; punctures more sparse near posterior angles and basis. Microsculpture absent. ELYTRA. Oval, widest at middle, length 2.00 mm, combined width 1.35 mm. Rows of punctures on disc somewhat narrower than interstices; pubescence composed of short semierect setae, strial and interstrial setae of identical length; microsculpture absent. MALE GENITALIA (as in Fig. 2 E–G). Parameres wide, moderately narrowed towards apex, bearing numerous long setae near mesal face of basis, shorter setae on ventral edge, and a very long and a short seta at apex; in lateral view strongly narrowed near middle, and widened, somewhat spoon-shaped, towards apex. Median lobe wide, narrowed towards apex in a basally convex, apically concave curve to form a narrow, almost parallel-sided protrusion with blunt tip; S-curved towards apex in lateral view. Variation The paratypes vary in body length from 2.92 to 3.30 mm. Remarks Even though Psammoecus nyakabuyensis sp. nov. resembles P. luchti in general appearance, the structures of the male genitalia differ very much (Fig. 3 A–B shows the genitalia of P. luchti for comparison). A close relation of these two species is therefore very unlikely.Published as part of Karner, Michael, 2014, Three new species and new records of African Psammoecus Latreille (Coleoptera, Silvanidae), pp. 1-18 in European Journal of Taxonomy 89 on pages 3-6, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2014.89, http://zenodo.org/record/383676

    Psammoecus procerus sp. nov. Fig. 4 A–G urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: C44995A0-A3D4-4C4 A-A 80 A-F 45 ED 4 CD 4202 Diagnosis The following combination of character states is diagnostic for this species: lateral margins of pronotum with very small teeth; antennomeres slender; 1 st antennomere 3 times as long as 2 nd; microsculpture on vertex and disk of pronotum distinct, reticulate; median lobe of aedeagus slender; parameres long, slender. Differential diagnosis This species is most similar to P. grandis Grouvelle, 1908; it can be distinguished by the shape of the antennomeres and male genitalia. It differs from all other African Psammoecus by its large size. Etymology The specific epithet is the Latin word for “slender”. Material examined Holotype ♂ ‘ SAO TOMÉ | Bom Successo, | ECOFAC compound | 7.–13.vi.1999 [7–13 Jun. 1999]’, ‘ A. Polaszek | BMNH 2005-138 ’ (BMNH). Paratypes 4 ♀♀, with same data as holotype (3 BMNH, 1 MKF). Description of holotype BODY (as in Fig. 4A). Elongate, slender, total length 3.6 mm. Elytra testaceous; humeral swelling and lateral margin dark brown, the dark coloration extended to a broad macula near the middle; apical half of suture and apex dark brown. Head and pronotum reddish brown; lateral margins of pronotum a little darker; anterior and posterior margins of pronotum lighter brown. Antennae testaceous, apex of antennomere 6 and antennomeres 7-10 darkened, antennomere 11 yellowish white. Legs yellow. HEAD (as in Fig. 4B). Eyes moderately rounded, temples well defined and curved, moderately narrowed behind eyes, temple angle 44°; head width 0.78 mm, length 0.46 mm. Puncturation on vertex irregular; punctures almost as large as an eye facet diameter, sometimes contiguous, sometimes leaving spaces the size of their diameter. Pubescence composed of long, semi-erect setae, directed anteriorly; microsculpture on apical part of vertex distinct, reticulate, on basal part of vertex very shallow. Longitudinal impressions on vertex short, slightly curved, barely attaining eye level. Eyes 0.23 mm long, distance of inner margins 0.52 mm. Antennae slender, attaining almost middle of elytra, 1.98 mm long; antennomere proportions: 3.0: 1.0: 1.3: 1.5: 1.7: 1.5: 1.4: 1.3: 1.1: 1.1: 2.1 (Fig. 4 D). PRONOTUM (as in Fig. 4C). About 1.1 times as wide as head; moderately wider than long; width 0.86 mm, length 0.73 mm. Area close to the posterior angles slightly depressed. Anterior angles separated from the disk by a slightly raised ridge; the small anterolateral space separated by that ridge without microsculpture, bearing 3 short teeth. Left lateral margin with 4, right margin with 5 very short teeth, posterior angle marked by a tooth of same size as lateral teeth. Puncture size on pronotal disk as on vertex, puncturation less dense. Pubescence as on vertex. Microsculpture distinct, reticulate. ELYTRA. Long and slender, 3.3x as long as pronotum, widest just in front of middle, length 2.44 mm, combined width 1.40 mm. Elytral disk with a flat depression between first and second third. Rows of punctures on disk about half as wide as interstices; pubescence composed of long, semierect setae; strial setae about 1/3 shorter than interstrial setae; microsculpture restricted to areas near origin of setae, reticulate. MALE GENITALIA (as in Fig. 4E–G). Parameres in ventral view wide, elongate, lateral face parallel, curved medially towards the apex; in lateral view lancet-shaped, almost straight ventrally and curved dorsally, apical third of dorsal face with short setae, tip bent ventrally. Median lobe slender, evenly narrowed toward apex in dorsal view; in lateral view wide to about the middle, narrowed to a parallel-sided section of about 2/5 its length; apical 1/6 narrowed, dorsal face curved in an S-shape, tip bent ventrally. Variation The paratypes vary in body length from 3.60 to 3.92 mm. Remarks The general appearance and the unusual structure of the male genitalia make this species a very untypical member of the genus Psammoecus. Its habitus closely resembles that of P. grandis Grouvelle, 1908, but the antennae as well as the male genitalia of P. grandis have an exceedingly different structure (see Fig. 5 A–C).Published as part of Karner, Michael, 2014, Three new species and new records of African Psammoecus Latreille (Coleoptera, Silvanidae), pp. 1-18 in European Journal of Taxonomy 89 on pages 6-9, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2014.89, http://zenodo.org/record/383676

    Spatial Synchrony in Wisconsin Karner Blue (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) Populations

    No full text
    We analyzed geographic patterns of Karner blue (Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabokov, Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) population fluctuations in summer broods in central and northwestern Wisconsin and spring+summer broods in central Wisconsin. We removed possible effects of population trends by analyzing residuals from a regression of each site’s population index vs. year. We then calculated correlation coefficients (r) of these residuals for all site-pairs separately for 1992- 2005 (26 sites, N = 325 site-pairs), 1995-2005 (21 sites, N = 210), and 1998-2005 (14 sites, N = 91). We analyzed patterns in these r values relative to distance between sites using correlations vs. distance and using pairwise comparisons of different distance categories (0-3 km up to 223-264 km apart). Karner blues showed significant (P \u3c 0.05) population synchrony over all distances. Spatial autocorrelation was strongest among sites \u3c3 km apart, then gradually leveled off at greater distances. Statistical power increased when we added three years but the number of sites did not decrease greatly (1995-2005 vs. 1998-2005 analyses) and when using an annual index combining spring+summer indices instead of just summer. The spatial autocorrelation extending over the entire study region suggests that environmental factors like weather provide some synchronization of Karner blue populations. Their much higher local synchrony is consistent with the species’ short dispersal distance. Their local and regional spatial autocorrelation increases the likelihood of correlated local extinctions during low fluctuation broods, especially when these coincide with unfavorable weather or adverse habitat events

    Nationalism Revisited: Austrian Social Closure from Romanticism to the Digital Age

    No full text
    Focused on the German-speaking parts of the former Habsburg Empire, and on present-day Austria in particular, this book offers a series of highly innovative analyses of the interplay of nationalism’s discursive and institutional facets. Here, Christian Karner develops a distinctive perspective on Austrian nationalism over the longue durée, tracing nationalistic ways of thinking and mobilizing from the late eighteenth century to the present. Through close analyses of key texts representing diverse settings and historical episodes, this book traces the connections, continuities and ruptures that have characterized the varieties of Austrian nationalism.</p
