Zethus alessandroi Lopes 2015
No full textZethus alessandroi Lopes, 2015 (Figs. 5–6 and 10–12) The newly collected specimen expands the distribution of Z. alessandroi by over 500 km. The locality in Mato Grosso State is the only known record of this species besides the type locality in Acre State. The male greatly resembles the paratype, varying in having the clypeal apex slightly concave (Fig. 6). Still, while comparing both specimens, some incongruences between the paratype itself and the description in Lopes et al. (2015) were observed and needed to be corrected. The first involves the pilosity (Fig. 5), where the identification key mentions “mesoscutum with short thick erect setae among longer, curved, thick pilosity” while the description simply states it as “yellow, thick, erect and long pilosity”. The first is the correct configuration and the reader should ignore what is in the pilosity description. The second relates to the drawings of the male genitalia (Figs. 10–12), where some details were left aside in the original illustrations (Lopes et al., 2015, Figs. 8h, p, x) due to a slight overexposure in the clarification treatment. While most characters remain unchanged, the cuspis appears to present a baso-ventral projection (Fig. 10), similar to most species of the Z. hilarianus species-group such as Z. dicomboda, Z. iheringi, Z. caridei and others and opposing closely related ones in the Z. smithii clade.

Zethus giseleae Hermes & Lopes 2018, new species
No full textZethus giseleae Hermes & Lopes new species (Figs. 1–4 and 7–9) Diagnosis. Zethus giseleae runs into couplet 6 of the key proposed by Lopes et al. (2015). It differs from Z. kaapora Lopes by the lack of thick, erect, golden pilosity along the entire body (Fig. 1). Zethus giseleae differs particularly from Z. smithii by the truncate apex of the clypeus (Fig. 2, concave in Z. smithii), by the shape of the apical male flagellomere (Fig. 3, wider apically in Z. giseleae), and by the higher profile of T1 (Fig. 4). Also, several male genitalic features allow ready distinction between the two species: volsellar crest wider (Fig. 7, narrower in Z. smithii), setae on digitus dense and long (Fig. 7, shorter and sparser in Z. smithii), ventral margin of the ventral lobe of the aedeagus rounded, with a prominent basal projection (Fig. 8, somewhat rectangular in Z. smithii), basal plaque of aedeagus elliptical (Fig. 9), and apex of aedeagus strongly bifid (Fig. 9). All images may be compared to those provided by Lopes et al. (2015) for Z. smithii. Description. Holotype male. Body length from head to apex of T1 12 mm. Forewing length from middle of tegula 13 mm. Body ground color predominantly black, with yellow markings as follows: broad stripe along inner margin of mandibles; apical band on clypeus; small bands on inner orbit of compound eyes near clypeus; spots on inner upper margins of antennal sockets; small stripes on gena at the height of eye emargination; thin lateral stripes on pronotum adjacent to pronotal carina; small spots on apical projections of tegulae and parategulae; stripe on most of metanotum; longitudinal stripes on posterior surface of propodeum; interrupted apical stripes on outer surface of fore femora; stripes on frontal surface of fore tibiae; irregular markings on frontal surface of mid and hind coxae (the latter having markings on posterior surface as well); large stripes on inner surfaces of mid femora and tibiae; stripes on inner surfaces of hind tibiae; apical lateral stripes on each side of T1; basal spots on stem of T2; thin apical stripes on T2 and S2; apical wide stripes on T3–7 and S3–7. Hind femora and tibiae and mid femora with chestnut markings. Wings dark-hyaline, venation black-brownish, especially dark along costal region. Clypeal apex somewhat truncate, teeth slightly developed; distance between antennal sockets wide, around 2.5x a socket diameter; last flagellomere apically enlarged; gena wide, wider than the upper lobe of the compound eye; occipital carina strong and sharp, angular near mandibles, almost touching compound eyes inferiorly near mandibles; pronotal carina lamellar and somewhat translucent dorsally; mesepisternum swollen; propodeal dorsal aperture with two orifices; posterior surface of propodeum with median carina along its entire length; propodeal submarginal carina trapezoidal when seen from behind; propodeal valvula enlarged and rectangular; mid tibiae with two apical spurs; biggest high of T1 before middle of tergum when seen in profile; stem of T2 longer than that of T1; T2 and S2 with translucent narrow lamella. Clypeus with somewhat sparse and shallow punctures; frons above clypeus with strong and striate punctures, becoming regular and sparser on vertex and gena; strong and dense punctures on dorsal surface of pronotum, mesoscutum, mesepisternum and scutellum; lateral surface of pronotum with shallow and irregular punctuation, with weak striae near pronotal fovea; metanotum with small and shallow punctures basally, impunctate posteriorly; posterior surface of propodeum striate, striae becoming weak on lateral surfaces; T1 sparsely punctate basally, punctures becoming denser towards apex; punctures somewhat obsolete on remaining terga, but well developed on S2-7, especially on S2. Clypeus with pubescence concentrated on center, and with long, sparse, decumbent whitish setae on its entire surface; long, erect whitish setae on frons, becoming shorter and decumbent on vertex and gena; sparse and short erect whitish setae on pronotum, mesoscutum and scutellum, longer on metanotum, mesepisterum and propodeum; short and erect setae on base of T1, becoming shorter and sparser towards apex; short and erect setae on S2, becoming longer and thicker on T3–7 and S3–7. Male genitalia: volsellar crest wide; setae on digitus dense and long; ventral margin of the ventral lobe of the aedeagus rounded, with a prominent basal projection; basal plaque of aedeagus elyptical; apex of aedeagus strongly bifid. Female unknown. Etymology. The specific epithet is an homage to our colleague Gisele G. Azevedo, who promotes the study of Hymenoptera in one of the least explored northeast states in Brazil, Maranhão. Type material. Holotype male (CEUFLA), ‘ Brasil, Maranhão, Penalva,\ Real Lodge (Faz.

Antennule with 9+2 aesthetascs, exopod of pleopod 1 elongated, eyes with 24 ommatidia and coxal plate VII with two noduli laterales. Description Maximum length. Male 8.6 mm, female 8.9 mm. Colour. Similar to that of B. trinodulata, except that the unpigmented regions of the pleon are larger on pleonite 1 (figure 32). Cephalothorax. Eyes with 24 ommatidia. Pereion. Tegument smooth and bright. Coxal plate VII has two noduli laterales (figure 49). Co-ordinates b /c and d/c of the noduli laterales (figure 47). Pleon. Narrows abruptly in relation to the pereion; neopleura well-developed on segments 3–5. Pleotelson triangular with straight margins, with a groove on the distal third and rounded apex, reaching halfway down the protopodite of the uropods. Appendages. Antennula tri-articulate, with the distal article having a series of nine aesthetascs at the distal half of the external margin and two apical aesthetascs (figure 33). Antenna when extended posteriorly, reaches the posterior margin of the fourth pereionite. Flagellum and fifth article of the peduncle of sub-equal length. Second flagellar article shorter than the other articles, which have similar lengths; apical organ one-third of the size of the distal article (figure 34). Mandible: similar to that of B. trinodulata, with two penicils on the incisor process and a tuft of at least ten plumose setae. Maxillula: medial endite with two apical penicils, no distal point; lateral endite with 4+6 teeth, five being pectinate (figure 37). Maxilla: external lobe with the distal-lateral margin narrowing; internal lobe covered with fine setae (figure 38). Maxilliped: endite with a long seta and two short teeth on the distal external margin, which has protuberances, dorsally bearing a short and robust seta (as in figure 10); apex of the palp with a tuft of short fine setae (figure 36). Pereiopods: with short tricorns on all articles and a hand-shaped apical seta on the carpus of pereiopod 1 (figure 43). Sexual differentiation: pereiopods 1–4 of the male with the carpus and merus bearing a set of fissured setae; ischium and merus of pereiopod 7 of the male of sub-equal length (figure 44); ischium of the females larger than the merus. Pleopods: exopod of pleopod 1 of the male cordiform, elongated (z: y ratio= 2.3), with a subapical dentiform expansion (figure 39); endopod with small apical spines (figure 40). Exopod of pleopod 2 distally elongated on the internal margin, carrying setae on the external margin; endopod distally tapered (figure 41). Exopod of pleopod 5 with four setae on the external lateral margin (figure 42). Uropod: insertion of the endopod and exopod at the same level; endopod exceeding half the length of the exopod (figure 35). Etymology The name refers to the region where this species occurs, the Brazilian Araucaria Forest. Remarks This species was collected on the Rio-Grandense Plateau (RS), at altitudes above 900 m. Benthana araucariana is similar to B. trinodulata because it has more than one nodulus lateralis on coxal plate VII, is of similar body colour, has similar antenna and uropods, has a similar number of aesthetascs on the antennula (9+2) and in having the insertion of the exopods and endopods of the uropods at similar levels. It can be differentiated by the elongated exopod of pleopod 1 of the male, two noduli laterales on coxal plate VII (three for the other species) and eyes with 24 ommatidia (20 in B. trinodulata).Published as part of Lopes, Paula Beatriz Araujo Elis Regina C., 2003, Three new species of Benthana Budde-Lund (Isopoda, ' Philosciidae') from Brazil, pp. 2425-2439 in Journal of Natural History 37 on pages 2433-243

EAS RADIO DETECTION WITH LOPES
No full text1 LOPES is set up at the location of the KASCADE-Grande extensive air shower experiment in Karlsruhe, Germany and aims to measure and calibrate radio pulses from Extensive Air Showers. Data taken during half a year of operation of 10 LOPES antennas (LOPES-10), triggered by EAS observed with KASCADE-Grande have been analysed. We report about the analysis of correlations present in the radio signals measured by LOPES-10. The extended set-up LOPES-30 consists of 30 antennas which now are absolute calibrated. Additionally, LOPES operates antennas of a different type (LOPES STAR) which ar
