Paratype. 1 female (on slide, No. EH. 1314, one antenna missing), Namdapha Tiger Reserve, Aamika Falls, 14.xi. 2009, P. M. Sureshan. (ZDAMU, Registration No. HYM. CH. 620). Host. Unknown. Distribution. India: Arunachal Pradesh. Comments. Parencyrtomyia is newly recorded from India. The new species, P. zedesi, differs from P. niveiclava Girault, the type and only other described species, in several characters, notably the following: head nearly completely black; antennal clava dark brown to black as funicle; mid coxa black; metanotum and propodeum nearly black and dorsum of gaster largely dark brown; fore wing with a distinct infuscation in apical half; malar space 0.56 x eye height; torulus slightly less than own height from mouth margin; antennal scape about as long as combined length of pedicel, F 1 and F 2; clava slightly longer than F 4–6 combined; fore wing setose from base, without a bare area; mesoscutum without notaular lines. In P. n i v e i c l a v a: face between and below toruli yellowish brown; clava white; legs yellowish brown; metanotum, propodeum and dorsum of gaster infuscated; fore wing with an indistinct suffusion and with a bare area basally; malar space 0.4 x eye height; torulus 1.25 x its height to mouth margin; scape slightly shorter than combined length of pedicel, F 1 and F 2; clava shorter than F 4–6 combined. The differences notes are based on the original description, and the notes and figures given by Dahms & Gordh (1997). Other details of P. niveiclava are not available as the mesosoma and gaster of the holotype are on a card. Dahms & Gordh (1997: p. 286) state that the mesoscutum has notaular lines (‘parapsidal sutures’) present in its anterior half. Etymology. The species name is derived from an arbitrary combination of letters.Published as part of Hayat, Mohammad & Kazmi, Sarfrazul Islam, 2011, On some Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from Namdapha Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh, India, pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 2830 on pages 12-13, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27729

Holotype, female (on card) labelled “ INDIA: Arunachal Pr. Namdapha Tiger Reserve, Road to Ranijheel, 11.xi. 2009, P.M.Sureshan” (“ NZSI 12342 /H 3 ” on a red ticket). Paratypes. 1 female (on slide, No. EH 1313, one antenna missing), 1 male (on slide, EH 1312, one clava missing) with same data as holotype. (ZDAMU, Registration No. HYM. CH. 619). Host. Unknown. Distribution. India: Arunachal Pradesh. Comments. This species is placed in Rhytidothorax because it has a majority of the characters of this genus, but with some hesitation because of the presence of distinctly articulated third valvulae (= gonostyli). Except for the presence of articulated third valvulae, it is similar to R. nigrum Singh & Agarwal (1993 a, b), but differs from it in the characters given in the key. Earlier, Hayat et al. (2002) described R. callistus with articulated third valvulae (see key to species). Etymology. This species is named after Dr. Ramakrishna, former Director, Zoological Survey of India, for providing encouragement to collect animals in remote areas of the country.Published as part of Hayat, Mohammad & Kazmi, Sarfrazul Islam, 2011, On some Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from Namdapha Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh, India, pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 2830 on pages 7-9, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27729

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
