We have examined 95 specimens. Distribution. Specimens (Fig. 52) are known from Benton, Franklin, Garland, Hot Spring, Marion, Newton, Polk, Pope, and Stone counties, Arkansas; Crawforn, McDonald, and St. Louis counties, Missouri; and Sabine County, Texas. Diagnostic description. Total length 1.66–1.98 mm; greatest width 0.74–0.94 mm. Light to dark reddish brown, head often darker; elongate-oval in shape (Fig. 2). Head. Finely, sparsely punctate; with faint substriate microsculpture. Eyes absent. Antennomere 2 longer than 3 (Fig. 44); antennomeres 5 and 6 subequal, larger than 4; antennomere 7 larger than 8; antennomeres 9 and 10 lack visible sensory vesicles. Pronotum. Finely, sparsely punctate; with faint substriate microsculpture. Widest at basal one-fourth, narrower at apex than at base, sides rounded; apical margin slightly emarginate, basal margin straight; apical angles rounded, basal angles slightly obtuse. Elytra. Punctures larger and more dense than on pronotum; weak strigae between punctures; striae vaguely indicated basally, absent apically. Joined elytra widest in basal one-half; sides parallel basally, narrowing in apical one-half. Legs. Protibia (Fig. 45) evenly widening to apex; dense, fine spines on apical one-half of inner margin; outer margin with three short spines and two longer spines near apex. Mesotibia (Fig. 46) evenly widening to apex; apical one-half on inner margin finely spinose; outer margin spinose. Metatibia (Fig. 47) elongate, slender, weakly curved in male, spinose. Metafemur (Fig. 47) slender. Male protarsomeres (Fig. 45) and mesotarsomeres (Fig. 46) weakly expanded and bearing elongate setae laterally and white, spatulate phanerae ventrally. Venter. Mesoventrite (Fig. 51) carinate, longitudinal carina with one or two small lobes anteriorly, not excavated behind transverse carina. Male genitalia. Median lobe of aedeagus (Figs. 48, 49) broad, flat apically; apex variable in width. Everted internal sac covered with short, broad spines; elongate spines at apex. Parameres (Figs. 48, 49) broad, not reaching apex of median lobe; each with two apical setae. Spermatheca. Elongate (Fig. 59), tubular, variably curved. Notes. Three specimens, with guts packed with host tissue, were taken on sporocarps of Xylaria polymorpha (Xylariaceae) by Richard Leschen (in litt 24 Feb 1988). Etymology. This species is named in recognition of its discovery by Dr. A.F. Newton of the Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois.Published as part of Peck, Stewart B. & Cook, Joyce, 2011, Systematics, distributions and bionomics of the Catopocerini (eyeless soil fungivore beetles) of North America (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Catopocerinae) 3077, pp. 1-118 in Zootaxa 3077 (1) on pages 17-18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3077.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/524353
Nematode abundance at the oxygen minimum zone in the Arabian Sea
No full textThis paper supports the hypothesis that low oxygen does not influence deep-sea nematode abundance by investigating an oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) on the Oman slope in the Arabian Sea. Correlation with a number of environmental variables indicated that food quality (measured as the hydrogen index) rather than oxygen was the major predictor of nematode abundance. Nematode abundance was also positively correlated with abundance of total macrofauna, annelids, spionid polychaetes and macrofaunal tube builders. Comparison with published data showed Arabian Sea nematode abundance to be similar to that of the Porcupine Seabight and Bay of Biscay regions of the northeast Atlantic, which also receive significant quantities of phytodetritus but have no OMZ
Studies on the littoral seaweed epifauna of St.Croix Island. 3. Gelidium pristoides (Rhodophyta) and its epifauna
No full textTotal area of the midlittoral G. pristoides belt was 4241 m super(2) and total summer standing crop of this perennial seaweed was 265 kg (dry mass). Monthly numerical composition of G. pristoides) epifauna at three sites on St. Croix is presented and discussed. Nematodesdominated the epifauna throughout the year with harpacticoids the second most abundant taxon. The presence of nauplius, annelid and Diptera larvae as well as juvenile amphipods and molluscs in the epifauna indicates the role of seaweeds as nursery areas for littoral fauna. G. pristoides epifauna averaged 1,77 x 10 super(5) animals m super(-2). Total summer standing stock of G. pristoides epifuana on St. Croix was determined by two methods which yielded 6,4 x 10 super(8) and 7,3 x 10 super(8) animals respectively
Representing silk design: Nicholas Joubert de L'Hiberderie and Le dessinateur pour les etoffes d'or, d'argent et de soie (Paris, 1765)
No full textLe Dessinateur pour les étoffes d'or, d'argent et de soie was published in Paris in 1765 depite the reservations of the silk-weaving guild of Lyons, receiving a good response in the Enlightenment press. As the first description on French of the trade of silk designer to appear in the public domain, it has become an important work on which much subsequent history has been based, often rather uncritically. This article delves into the representation of design offered by this text, evaluating it against the personal experience of its author, the literary and manufacturing heritage on which he drew, and the readership for women it was intended. The analysis is based on the form and content of the book, the structure, vocabulary and illustrations. Comparative data are drawn from two other important publications on silk manufacture, the relevant sections of Denis Diderot's Encyclopédie and Jean Paulet's L'Art du fabriquant
