Trilobitofoenus Macedo, n. gen.
No full textTrilobitofoenus Macedo n. gen. (Figs. 5, 6g, 7 g –h, 8 b, 11 i –n, 12 e–g, 13g –i, 14 f, 15) Type species. Trilobitofoenus plaumanni Macedo. Etymology. The name of the genus is derived from Trilobite, because of the mesoscutum sculpture, which in dorsal view, gives to the wasp the appearance of a trilobite (Figs. 12 e–g). The gender is masculine. Description. Body length between 10.0–15.0 mm (exclusive of ovipositor). Head. Subtrapezoidal in dorsal view (Figs. 11 i, 11 k, 11m); mandible in frontal view with apex acute; malar space short, almost disconnected from gena (Figs. 11 j, 11 l, 11 n); clypeus with a longitudinal ridge (Fig. 6g); clypeus and face without longitudinal striae; occipital margin simple (Figs. 11 i, 11 k, 11m). Mesosoma. Pronotum with three lobes well defined (Figs. 13 g-i); pronotal process absent (Figs. 13 g-i); propleuron collar shaped anteriorly (Fig. 8 b); mesonotum rounded in lateral view (Figs. 13 g-i); mesoscutum with anterior portion rather smooth and posterior portion rugose or striate, as long as wide, and forming two different planes separated by depressed notauli, parapsides distinct (Figs. 12 e-g); mesepimeron with a dorsal ridge (Figs. 13 g-i); fore and middle tibiae uniformly colored; hind tibia entirely black to dark brown; metacoxa rather smooth at posterior portion (Fig. 14 f); median propodeal carina flattened, either present at anterior half, or absent; fore wing jugal lobe present; discal cell present (subtriangular) (Fig. 7 g) or absent (Fig. 7 h), vein r–m present (spectral) or absent, fore wing vein 2 –M tubular in 1 st 1 / 3 and spectral in remaining portion (Fig. 5 a); hind wing with 3–5 equidistant hamuli (Fig. 5 a). Metasoma. First metasomal tergum with edges separate, not concealing 1 st sternum; female subgenital sternum with a slitlike Y-shaped notch (as Fig. 10 a); ovipositor longer than T 2 +T 3 and shorter than metasoma (Fig. 5). Distribution. Neotropical: Mexico (Chiapas), Guatemala, Brazil (Amazonas and Santa Catarina). Trilobitofoenus shows a more widespread distribution range than the other two exclusively Neotropical genera, occurring between 15 ºN and 27 ºS (Fig. 15). Species occur in tropical rainforests (southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Amazon) and in an area originally occupied by a subtropical conifer forest in southern Brazil. Biology. Unknown. Comments. There is scarce material of this genus, with each species recorded for only one or two localities.Published as part of Macedo, Antonio Carlos Cruz, 2009, Generic classification for the Gasteruptiinae (Hymenoptera: Gasteruptiidae) based on a cladistic analysis, with the description of two new Neotropical genera and the revalidation of Plutofoenus Kieffer, pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 2075 on pages 19-20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18721

I decided not to group the <i>Spinolafoenus</i> + <i>Trilobitofoenus</i> clade into a unique genus because of the six synapomorphies exclusively shared by the <i>Trilobitofoenus</i> species. The autapomorphies of <i>Spinolafoenus</i> are the crenulate occipital margin, the truncate mesonotum, and the entirely light ovipositor sheath. These autapomorphies are not exclusive of <i>Spinolafoenus</i>. However, the genus has other exclusive characters in Gasteruptiinae that were not used in the cladistic analysis: mesosoma uniformly areolate; metacoxa areolate at posterior portion; and longitudinal axis of propodeum slightly concave. The <i>Spinolafoenus</i> isolation was probably the result of the Andes formation.</p>Published as part of <i>Macedo, Antonio Carlos Cruz, 2009, Generic classification for the Gasteruptiinae (Hymenoptera: Gasteruptiidae) based on a cladistic analysis, with the description of two new Neotropical genera and the revalidation of Plutofoenus Kieffer, pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 2075</i> on page 16, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/187219">10.5281/zenodo.187219</a>

An Investigation on Atmospheric Effects in Airborne Interferometric SAR data
No full textThe results of an experiment on atmospheric effects in interferometric SAR data are presented. The main purpose of the experiment was to investigate on the influence of the troposphere on airborne synthetic aperture radar measurements, acquired by DLR’s experimental E-SAR system. The analysed data was acquired at L-band. The main idea behind the experiment is to collect data sets at different atmospheric conditions and to compare the measurements by performing a differential interferometric analysis. The main difference between atmospheric conditions on “Day-One” and “Day-Two” of acquisition was a cloud layer between sensor and illuminated surface, reaching from 750 to 1500 m above sea-level (msl). The sensor altitude was about 4000 m (msl). The test site is located at 580 m (msl). The results of the experiment will be highlighted and an interpretation of the observed differential effects will be given. In a first investigation [1] no pronounced indication of atmospheric effects in L-band interferograms was found. In the paper here proposed, two different techniques, multisquint [2] and weighted phase curvature autofocus (WPCA) [3], are applied to accurately mitigate residual motion errors allowing a better interpretation of any possible atmospheric effects.
