Radicafurcus Qin & Zhang
No full textRadicafurcus Qin & Zhang, gen. nov. Type species. Radicafurcus breviprocessus Qin & Zhang, sp. n., here designed. Description. Body small, depressed, and brown. Head broader than pronotum (Fig. 1). Vertex long, anterior margin distinctly produced medially, in profile regularly curving into convex and slightly elongated face (Fig. 2), coronal suture long and distinct (Fig. 1). Fore wing broadened in apical third, all apical veins arise from longitudinal m cell, 3 rd apical cell stalked, veins RP and MP’ nearly parallel (Fig. 3). Hind wing with very small area borded by re-emerging AA and AP’ veins; vein CuA unbranched apically (Fig. 4). Abdodminal apodemes developed and parallel sided (Fig. 14). Male pygofer short and wide, narrowing caudad (Figs. 5, 6), laterocaudal margin of pygofer lobe truncated accompanied by row of rigid microsetae terminally; ventral appendage absent (Figs. 5, 6); dorsal bridge long but less sclerotized in middle dorsocaudad (Fig. 6). Subgenital plate longer than pygofer side, broad at base, setae of basal group undifferentiated, lateral macrosetae not numerous, arranged in single row and reaching apex of plate (Figs. 5, 7, 13). Paramere slim, caudal part strongly narrowing and curved, subapex bearing small dentifer and few setae (Figs. 7, 12). Connective lamellate (Fig. 7). Aedeagus broad at base, with asymmetrical unpaired ventral process arising subbasally, shaft tubular, preatrium very short, without dorsal apodeme, gonopore subapical at left side (Figs. 8-10). Anal tube process short and broad (Figs. 5, 11). Etymology. The name alludes to the ventrobasal bifurcation of the aedeagus. Gender: masculine. Remarks. The new genus is similar to Ifuaria Dworakowska, 1994 in having 3 apical veins in fore wing arising from cell m, the 3 rd apical cell stalked, veins RP and MP’ nearly parallel; the abdodminal apodemes parallel sided; the ventral pygofer appendage absent, and the lateral macrosetae of the subgenital plate arranged in a single row. However, the new genus differs from the latter in having fore wing cell c narrower than cell r (c cell broader than r cell in Ifuaria), the laterocaudal margin of the pygofer lobe truncated (angulately produced in Ifuaria); the subgenital plate lacking macrosetae in the basal group (with macrosetae in basal group in Ifuaria), the aedeagus not fused with the base of the connective (fused in Ifuaria), and in having cell aa in the hind wing apparently smaller than that of Ifuaria. The new genus is similar to Chlorita Fieber in Chinese empoascine fauna by using the key of Qin & Zhang (2008). It differs from Chlorita by the body is slim and depressed (borad in Chlorita), by the fore wing with all apical veins arise from longitudinal m cell, 3 rd apical cell stalked (in Chlorita veins RP and MP’ arise in r cell and only MP”+CuA’ in m cell, 3 rd apical cell not stalked), by the anal tube process short and broad (anal tube process much longer in Chlorita).Published as part of Qin, Dao-Zheng, Liu, Yang & Zhang, Ya-Lin, 2010, A taxonomic study of Chinese Empoascini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) (I), pp. 52-60 in Zootaxa 2481 on page 53, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19542
The Formation of “the Biography of Su Qin” (蘇秦列傳 Su Qin Liezhuan)
No full textSu Qin 蘇秦 is one of the most prominent figures of the Warring States Period. There are, however, glaring contradictions in the biography devoted to him in the Shiji (『史記』蘇秦列傳). These contradictions gave rise to controversies around Su Qin from early on. Some scholars went so far as to claim that all the accounts associated with Su Qin were pure fiction. Analyses of the Zhanguo zonghengjia shu 戰國縱橫家書 from the tomb in Mawangdui 馬王堆, which was discovered in 1973, have facilitated the study of Su Qin. On the one hand, it now seems to be generally agreed that Su Qin was engaged in a plot against Qi 齊 in the 280s BCE, there are still some scholars who, on the other hand, argue for the accuracy of the Shiji. The problems involving Su Qin are still not completely resolved. In this paper, I will argue that the cause of these problems lies in the lack of understanding of the historical development of the images of Su Qin. From this perspective, this paper will examine the editorial process of Su Qin's biography by analyzing the Shiji and other texts such as the Zhanguoce 戰國策. The story of Su Qin in his biography roughly falls into two parts. The first part narrates Su Qin's success in his official career.In this part, Su Qin persuaded the sovereigns of the six states to ally with one another, thus forming the vertical alliance (hezong 合從) which was to counteract Qin 秦. He was conferred a fief as the Lord of Wu‘an (Wu'an jun 武安君) for this accomplishment. The second part recounts Su Qin's conspiracy against Qi and his assassination. I propose that the latter narrative, in which Su Qin is involved in the fall of Qi, was created at the end of the Warring States Period while the former was invented later in the Han Dynasty. The author of the Shiji adopted these two narratives, using them as a framework into which details of Su Qin's biography were inserted. According to this analysis, it is impossible to claim that Su Qin's biography has a factual basis. However, it is not fair to blame the author of the Shiji for having adopted unreliable information about Su Qin. On the contrary, his biography provides substantial and valuable information for scholars to trace the change of Su Qin's images in history
Lauriana Ren & Qin
No full textLauriana Ren & Qin gen. nov. (Figs 1–18) Type species. Lauriana senticosa Ren & Qin sp. nov., here designated. Description. Slender, brown delphacids. Head including eyes distinctly narrower than pronotum (Figs 1, 3). Vertex quadrate, slightly longer in midline than broad at base, anterior margin of vertex sinuate, slightly projecting in front of eyes, submedian carinae originating near middle of lateral carinae, converging and uniting at apex of vertex, Yshaped carina with stem obscure (Figs 1, 3). Fastigium in lateral view rounded (Fig. 2). Median carina of frons simple (Fig. 4). Antennae cylindrical, very long, almost reaching apex of anteclypeus, scape shorter than pedicle (Figs 1–4). Rostrum reaching metacoxae. Pronotum nearly as long as vertex in middle line, lateral carinae not reaching posterior margin (Figs 1, 3). Mesonotum medially longer than vertex and pronotum together (Figs 1, 3). Forewing elongate, much longer than abdomen, apical margin rounded, crossveins in middle (Figs 1, 2, 18). Spination of apex of hind leg 5 (3 + 2) (tibia), 6 (4 + 2) (basitarsus) and 4 (2 nd tarsomere) (Fig. 5). Post-tibial spur thick, concave on inner surface, without teeth on interior margin but with a small apical tooth (Fig. 5). Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view much taller than wide, dorsocaudally rounded, in caudal view much longer than wide, lateroventral margin asymmetrical, with single process on midventral margin (Figs 6, 7, 9–11). Suspensorium absent (Figs 8, 9, 12). Aedeagus attached to ventral margin of anal segment; phallobase asymmetrical, bearing a slender process arising near base; phallus tubular, n-shaped, apical part membranous with spines and numerous teeth (Figs 6, 8, 9, 12– 15). Parameres long, diverging proximally and converging distally (Figs 8, 16). Diaphragm of pygofer open medially, basal transverse roundly produced medially, apicad of which to caudoventral margin of pygofer deeply sunk for containing apex of aedeagus (Figs 6, 7, 9, 11). Anal segment of male small, ring-like, without processes (Figs 6 –8, 9, 12, 17). Etymology. The generic name is an arbitrary combination of letters, and is regarded as feminine. Remarks. This new genus is characterized by its long antennae (Figs 1–4), submedian carinae uniting at apex of vertex (Figs 1, 3), tegmina with crossveins in middle (Fig. 18), and by the following characters of the male genitalia: lateroventral margin of male pygofer asymmetrical (Figs 7, 11), with single process on midventral margin (Figs 6, 7, 9–11); pygofer deeply sunk from the basal transverse of diaphragm to the caudoventral margin (Figs 6, 7, 9, 11); apical part of the phallus membranous (Figs 6, 8, 9, 12– 15) and male anal segment without processes (Figs 6 –9, 12, 17). Lauriana is similar to Malaxa Melichar, 1914 and Malaxella Ding & Hu, 1986 in having quadrate vertex, long antennae and male pygofer having ventral processes. However, the new genus differs from both genera in the anal segment without process (with process at left laterodistal angle in Malaxella and Malaxa). The new genus differs from Malaxella in frons with lateral carinae widest at apex (widest at eyes in Malaxella), the tegmina having crossveins in middle (situated at apical 1 / 3 – 2 / 5 in Malaxella), lateral carinae of vertex convergent anteriad (distinctly expanded anteriad in Malaxella) and the parameres symmetrical (asymmetrical in Malaxella). It differs from Malaxa in the submedian carinae of vertex percurrent and uniting at apex (uniting before apex of vertex in Malaxa) and the opening of pygofer asymmetrical (symmetrical in Malaxa).Published as part of Ren, Feng-Juan, Zheng, Li-Fang, Huang, Yi-Xin & Qin, Dao-Zheng, 2014, Lauriana Ren & Qin, a new genus of the tribe Tropidocephalini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Delphacidae) from China in Zootaxa 3784 (1), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3784.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/22905
