(Figs. 1 –11, 15, 18) Type material: Holotype ♂ (SYSU), CHINA: Jiangxi Province, Jing’an County, Guanyinyan, 20.vii. 2014, 29.04 °N, 115.14 °E, 690 m, Ren-Chao Lin lgt. (Labeled in both Chinese and English). Paratypes (49): 41 specs. (SYSU, SEMC, NMPC) same data as holotype; 8 specs., CHINA: Jiangxi Province, Jing’an County, Sanzhaolun town, Baishuidong (translation: labeled in Chinese), 22.vii. 2014, 29.04 °N, 115.11 °E, 660 m, Ren-Chao Lin lgt. Diagnosis. The species is easily distinguished from C. marginella (Fabricius), the only Old World known species outside of China, bythe coarsely punctate striae on the elytra (Figs. 1, 2, 6). It can be separated from the other known Chinese species of the genus, C. orientalis Jia & Short, 2010, by (1) its smaller size (3.2–3.3 mm), (2) its broader and more extensive paler elytral margins (Figs. 1–2), (3) the more extensive femoral pubescence, and (4) the aedeagus with median lobe bottle-shaped, more strongly narrowed towards apex (Fig. 15); in C. orientalis Jia & Short, the median lobe is not so strongly narrowed towards the apex (Figs. 16–17). Description. Body length 3.2–3.3 mm, body width 2.3 mm. Dorsum blackish brown, with margins of pronotum and elytra broadly paler (Figs. 1–2), occasionally dark brown; anterior margin of pronotum usually with narrow paler band (Fig. 2), sometimes without such paler band (Fig. 5); posterior quarter of elytra paler (Figs. 1–2) or dark brown (Fig. 6). Body oval, convex. Head black with narrow reddish yellow clypeal spots in front of eyes (Fig. 2) or completely black. Maxillary palpomeres reddish yellow, not darkened apically (Fig. 4). Ventral surface generally light brown to dark brown to brown; legs light brown to rufous, tarsi light brown to rufotestaceous. Head. Labrum with fine punctures, slightly emarginate anteriorly. Clypeus subtruncate anteriorly, frontoclypeal suture clearly detectable, punctures on posterior part somewhat stronger than those on anterior part. Eyes separated by ca. 4.5 x the width of one eye. Maxillary palps ca. 3 / 4 x as long as width of head, second palpomere slightly swollen, apical palpomere almost symmetrical, apical palpomere shorter than penultimate (Fig. 4). Mentum depressed anteriorly, with strong scattered punctures. Thorax. Pronotum ca. 3.5 x as wide as long, rather strongly narrowed in front, posterior corner broadly round (Fig. 2); anterior margin smooth, with a very fine transverse groove, posterior margin without such groove; size and density of ground punctation similar to that of the head, lateral punctures a little finer than on disc, surface between punctures smooth, without microsculpture; systematic punctures present but indistinct. Elytra with ground punctation denser than on pronotum; sutural stria present in posterior half, continuing anteriorly as a row of punctures to the base of elytra (Figs. 1, 6); with nine punctate striae, which become gradually more impressed posteriorly; strial punctures becoming coarser laterally, the outer ones very coarse; distinct scutellar stria between sutural and first stria consisting of only 5 to 7 strong punctures (Fig. 6), systematic punctures on 3, 5, 7, 9 intervals present but indistinct, only slightly larger than surrounding ground punctation. Prosternum weakly convex, not carinate. Mesoventrite with a low transverse ridge medially, which does not bear an elevated tooth or projection (Fig. 7). Metaventrite with somewhat raised, more convex middle portion, which does not project anteriorly between mesocoxae; with hydrofuge pubescence except for a posteromedian glabrous area on raised middle portion.Profemora pubescent on basal two-thirds, hairline somewhat oblique (Fig. 9); meso- and metafemora with hairline not oblique, pubescent on basal third-fourths (Figs. 10–11) Abdomen. Abdomen with five exposed ventrites, covered in dense uniform pubescence; first abdominal ventrite without carina, fifth ventrite arcuate, not emarginate apically (Fig. 8). Aedeagus. Total length of aedeagus 0.45–0.48 mm. Length of parameres/length of phallobase 0.66–0.67 mm. Median lobe bottle-shaped, strongly narrowed towards apex, broader and shorter than parameres. Parameres much narrower basally, slightly bent externally (Fig. 15). Etymology. Named after Shizhen Li, a biologist and pharmaceutical scientist during the Ming Dynasty, 430 years ago, in honor of his contribution to the Chinese biological taxonomy. Habitat. This species occurs on wet rock seepages, similar to the habitat of C. orientalis Jia & Short (Jia, 2014). At the same locality, a few specimens of Oocyclus fikaceki Short & Jia were also collected. Distribution. Known only from the type locality. Remarks. When C. orientalis Jia & Short was described, only six females were known from a small temporary pool with some grass, fallen leaves and decomposed grass and branches (Jia & Short 2010). This temporary pool was formed by water flowing from a cliff not far away from the pool. From 2010 to 2013, many specimens of C. orientalis Jia & Short were collected on the wet cliff. It seems likely that the type specimens were washed down from the cliff and arrived at the temporary pond with water flow. Most New World species of the genus for which we have ecological information are known to occur in water (both lentic and lotic), wet leaf litter, at the edge of water and debris etc. and this is also true of the Palaearctic C. marginella (Fabricius) (Smetana 1974). The habitats of the two species occurring in China, C. orientalis Jia & Short and C. lishizheni sp. nov., are apparently wet rock, with specimens occasionally moved to running or stagnant water. Populations of the two species were rather dense on the wet rock, but specimens are only rarely collected in stagnant and running water.

Truth After cinema: The explosion of facts in the documentary films of Jia Zhangke
Full text linkThis is the author's accepted manuscript. The final published article is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2013 Intellect Books.This article identifies and elaborates on two models of resistance evident in JiaZhangke’s film corpus. The deployment of different cinematic strategies produces an experimental calling into question of the value of truth and of truth as value. In the films here analysed Jia moves from resistance through organic observation to a model of resistance structured around a series of fabulations. If the first regime addresses the truth of ideology, then the target of the second is the ideology of truth. It is in this passage that Jia enters political cinema, collapsing the distinction between factual and fictional and opening up a space that belongs to no collectivity

Ming maritime governance and the Suppression of Lin Feng
No full textPiracy in Ming China during the 1560s and 1570s, while not frequently discussed, posed a unique maritime problem for officials to tackle. One threat they faced in this period was Lin Feng (active 1568–1580s), a pirate appearing on the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces since the early Longqing period (1567–1572). Lin Feng was constantly seen clashing with the Ming military and had considerable influence; in 1574, he even sailed to Luzon, part of the modern-day Philippines, and appointed himself as the lord there. Eventually, he was evicted back to the Ming coasts, where the military suppressed his forces in 1576, early in the reign of the Wanli emperor (1572–1620). Previous scholars have noted Lin Feng’s trans-local impacts and portrayed him as a cultural broker between imperial China and the Philippines. What they neglected to do, however, was treat the conflicts and encounters he shared with officials as instances of Ming maritime governance.
To revisit the case of Lin Feng from a political perspective, this thesis uses records from gazetteers, Ming shilu, memorials, legal codes, and letters. It places him with Longqing and Wanli officials to trace the complex processes through which officials reached their decisions. This thesis presents four seemingly separate incidents involving Lin Feng and various Ming officials that became the milestones of the Suppression of Lin Feng, the campaign to eliminate his forces. Each of the officials discussed in these examples came from diverse backgrounds with varying levels of prestige. Yet they were all, as this thesis argues, motivated by two kinds of factors interwoven with each other: structural—the broader political, geographic, social, and economic contexts as well as the experience of their predecessors—and personal—opportunities to keep their careers or elevate their statuses while gaining material benefits. Making this argument can help this thesis highlight the paramount roles that officials played in this campaign and, in doing so, offer new understandings of Lin Feng as a historical character and position county and provincial-level officials as being integral to creating and enforcing policies for Ming maritime governance.Arts, Faculty ofHistory, Department ofGraduat
