Coelho Neto Canibal: Pseudônimos shakespearianos e literatura licenciosa no Brasil (1890-1940) / Coelho Neto Cannibal: Shakespearean pseudonyms and licentious literature in Brazil (1890-1940)
No full textResumo: Este trabalho estuda a trajetória do pseudônimo shakespeariano Caliban, adotado pelo escritor Henrique Coelho Neto (1864-1934), em 1890, para veicular literatura licenciosa nos impressos. Acompanhamos o pseudônimo desde sua estreia até sua última aparição no mundo editorial na década de 1940. Para levar a cabo a tarefa, consultamos os livros publicados por Caliban e investigamos sua atuação na imprensa periódica por meio da consulta online dos jornais na Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira. Caliban foi um autor de sucesso e parte desse reconhecimento vinha da origem erudita de seu nome. O filtro shakespeariano era crucial para a aceitação dessa literatura nos circuitos letrados, mas muitos a consideravam como mera pornografia. A literatura de Caliban revela um Coelho Neto moderno, contestador e inovador que foi esquecido pela tradição crítica.Palavras-chave: Coelho Neto; William Shakespeare; Caliban; literatura licenciosa.Abstract: This work studies the trajectory of the Shakespearean pseudonym “Caliban”, adopted by writer Henrique Coelho Neto (1864-1934) in the 1890s to convey licentious literature in print. We follow the pseudonym from its debut until its last appearance in the publishing world in the 1940s. To carry out the task, we consulted the books published by Caliban and investigated his performance in the periodic press through online consultation of newspapers in the Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira. Caliban was a successful author and part of that recognition came from the erudite origin of his name. The Shakespearean filter was crucial for the acceptance of this literature in literary circuits, but many considered it as mere pornography. Caliban’s literature reveals a modern, challenging and innovative Coelho Neto who has been overlooked by critical tradition.Keywords: Coelho Neto; William Shakespeare; Caliban; licentious literature
Megistops adiae Clark & Lillrose & Belo Neto 2013, new species
No full text<i>Megistops adiae</i>, new species <p>(Figures 18, 37, 45)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> The large, apically truncate and bifurcate spur at the apex of each hind tibia is alone sufficient to distinguish this from all other chrysomelid species known to occur in the Cayman Islands. For specimens in which the position of the legs makes this character difficult to see, the large, nearly contiguous eyes, in combination with the greatly enlarged hind femora and essentially impunctate elytra, will also quickly enable identification. Similarly colored species of <i>Megistops</i> elsewhere in the West Indies are <i>M. bahamensis</i> Blake from the Bahamas, <i>M. parvula</i> Blake from Jamaica, and <i>M. tabebuiae</i> Blake from Cuba. In comparison with <i>M. adiae</i>, the elytral markings of well-marked specimens of <i>M. bahamensis</i> are less irregular in shape, and the aedeagus is much more arcuately broadened before the apex. The aedeagus of <i>M. parvula</i> is more similar to that of <i>M. adiae</i>, but the pale areas of the body are reddish brown instead of yellowish brown, the elytral markings are much smaller, the anterior marking sometimes being entirely absent, and the hind femora are pale (femora largely piceous in <i>M. adiae</i>, except for in the pale specimen from Grand Cayman). The aedeagus of <i>M. tabebuiae</i> is also similar to that of <i>M. adiae</i>, although Blake (1937) illustrated the sclerotized orificial covering as being much wider.

Effective Integrability of Lins Neto\u27s Family of Foliations
No full textA. Lins Neto presented in [Lins-Neto,2002] a -dimensional family of degree four foliations on the complex projective plane with non-degenerate singularities of fixed analytic type, whose set of parameters for which is an elliptic pencil is dense and countable. In [McQuillan,2001] and [Guillot,2002], M. McQuillan and A. Guillot showed that the family lifts to linear foliations on the abelian surface , where , and is a primitive 3rd root of unity, the parameters for which are elliptic pencils being . In [Puchuri,2013], the second author gave a closed formula for the degree of the elliptic curves of a function of . In this work we determine degree, positions and multiplicities of singularities of the elliptic curves of , for any given in algorithmical way implemented in Python. And also we obtain the explicit expressions for the generators of the elliptic pencils, using the Singular software. Our constructions depend on the effect of quadratic Cremona maps on the family of foliations .21 pages, 7 figure

Apraea luciae Clark & Lillrose & Belo Neto 2013, new species
No full textApraea luciae, new species (Figures 10, 34, 43) Diagnosis. The hind femora of this species are greatly enlarged, the large eyes are narrowly separated dorsally by a distance about equal to the width of the basal antennomere, and the rather coarse pronotal punctures are similar in size and density to those of the elytra. This combination of characters is not found in any other species of Chrysomelidae known from the Cayman Islands. Compared with A. priscilae (the only other species of the genus known from the Cayman Islands), the body is larger (4.3-5.2 mm, as opposed to 3.4-3.7 mm long), the color is dark brown instead of yellowish brown with dark elytral markings, the pronotal punctation is much denser and coarser, and the elytral punctation is coarser and arranged in rows only laterally and distally. Beyond the Cayman Islands, the large size, narrowly separated eyes, dark brown color, and confusedly punctate yet hardly costate elytra distinguish A. luciae from all other described species in the genus. Description of male. Body oval, dorsally glabrous; color dark brown; dorsal punctures deep, largely confused, with some of those on elytra tending to form poorly defined rows. Length 4.3 mm; width across humeri 2.3 mm. Head with eyes large, dorsally separated by slightly less than width of antennomere 1, separated by a distance about 0.1 times maximum width of head; color dark brown; longitudinal, distinctly elevated ridge present between eyes; frontal tubercles small, triangular; frontal ridge flat, narrow between antennae, broadly, triangularly expanded beyond antennae, with expanded area glabrous except distally; clypeal area shining, reflexed beyond level of frons, armed with transverse row of setae. Antennae pale brown, slender, extending to near middle of elytra, composed of eleven antennomeres; antennomere 1 elongate, curved, largely glabrous; antennomere 2 short, slightly longer than wide, largely glabrous; antennomeres 3-11 densely setose, subequal in length to each other, though antennomere 3 shorter and antennomere 11 longer than others. Labrum brown, slightly paler than frons, with four setae arranged in transverse row, with apical margin slightly bisinuate, therefore vaguely trilobed; mandibles piceous; maxillary and labial palpi pale yellow-brown. Pronotum 2.1 times as wide as long, 1.8 times as wide as head across eyes, nearly as wide as elytra at humeri; anterior margin with fine bead; lateral margins arcuate, each with well-defined carina; posterior margin bisinuate, with well-defined but fine bead; discal punctures coarse; interspaces appearing polished but upon close inspection vaguely alutaceous; color dark brown. Scutellum subtriangular, dark brown, in some specimens darker in lateral and posterior areas. Elytra together 1.4 times as long as width at humeri, 3.5 times as long as pronotum. Punctation of each elytron largely confused but tending to form rows, especially in lateral and distal areas; punctures deeply impressed to apex; humeral area largely impunctate. Interpunctural areas appearing polished, but upon close inspection minutely punctulate and very slightly alutaceous. Color dark brown. Ventral areas dark brown, similar in color to dorsum. Prothorax with hypomeron shining, glabrous; prosternum anterior to coxae short, about as long as width of antennomere 3; prosternal process between coxae about as wide as length of antennomere 3; procoxal cavities widely open behind. Ventral areas of mesothorax largely glabrous. Ventral areas of metathorax largely setose. Ventral areas of abdomen, pubescent, alutaceous; mesal area of last abdominal ventrite shallowly flattened, with dark brown fine mesal line, with apex of segment trilobed. Legs alutaceous, covered with setae, dark brown with tarsi paler; front and middle basitarsi distinctly broader than those of female; tarsal claws appendiculate. Aedeagus as in Figure 34.

Pronotum twice as wide as long, 1.8 times as wide as head across eyes, 0.9 times as wide as elytra across humeri. Elytra together about 1.5 times as long as wide at humeri, 3.6 times as long as pronotum. Front and middle basitarsi distinctly narrower than those of male. Tip of abdomen rounded or slightly angulate, not trilobed; last abdominal ventrite not flattened and without dark mesal line. Spermatheca as in Figure 43. Length 5.2 mm; width at humeri 2.6 mm.

Combined wind lidar and cloud radar for high-resolution wind profiling
No full textThis paper introduces an experimental setup for retrieving horizontal wind speed and direction profiles with a high temporal and vertical resolution for process studies and validation of convection-permitting model simulations. The CMTRACE (tracing convective momentum transport in complex cloudy atmospheres) campaign used collocated wind lidar and cloud radar measurements to retrieve seamless wind profiles from near the surface up to cloud tops. It took place in Cabauw, the Netherlands, between 13 September and 3 October 2021. The intermediate processing steps for generating the level 1 and level 2 data, such as second trip echoes filtering, offset correction, wind retrieval, re-gridding, and flagging, are described. In level 1 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6926483, Dias Neto, 2022a), the data from lidar and radars are kept in the original spatial and temporal resolution, while in level 2 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6926605, Dias Neto, 2022b), they are regridded to a common spatial and temporal resolution. Statistical analyses of the lidar's and radar's wind speed and direction profiles indicate a correlation higher than 0.95 for both variables. The bias of wind direction and speed calculated between radar's and lidar's observations are 0.24∘ and −0.16 m s−1, respectively. The foreseen initial application of the datasets includes the study of convective momentum transport and its validation in regional weather forecasts and large-eddy simulation hindcasts.Atmospheric Remote Sensin

Among other things, the elytra of both species are slightly truncate, though less so in <i>L. chlanidotus</i>. In the original description of that species, Blake (1964) did not mention the slightly truncate elytra, nor did she clearly indicate this condition in her illustration. Nonetheless, our examination of material from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands attests to this character for the species. In addition to the specimens included in the type series of <i>L. alisonae</i>, we have also seen a single specimen (BYUC) from Jamaica that probably belongs to this new species.</p>Published as part of <i>Clark, Shawn M., Lillrose, Tiffany & Belo Neto, Luiz A., 2013, Leaf Beetles of the Cayman Islands (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), pp. 1-41 in Insecta Mundi 2013 (279)</i> on pages 23-24, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5175767">10.5281/zenodo.5175767</a>
Cryptocephalus catharinae Clark & Lillrose & Belo Neto 2013, new species
No full textCryptocephalus catharinae, new species (Figures 25, 40, 48) Diagnosis. In this species, the hind femora are not greatly enlarged in comparison to those of the front and middle legs, the base of the pronotum is not margined by a distinct bead, the apical abdominal tergite is largely exposed beyond the elytral apex, and the tarsal claws are simple rather than appendiculate. This combination of characters distinguishes Cryptocephalus from other chrysomelid genera known to occur in the Cayman Islands. Additionally, the dorsal color is pale brown with poorly defined yellowish areas, especially along the edges of the pronotum and elytra; the punctures of the head and pronotum are rather deep, dense, and coarse; there is no oblique impression in the basolateral quadrant of the pronotum; the elytral punctures are mostly arranged in regular striae; and the body is 2.3-3.5 mm long. This combination of characters distinguishes this species from others of the genus known to occur in the Cayman Islands, as well as elsewhere in the West Indies. This species is very similar to Cryptocephalus kirki, but differs in the lighter coloration and in the less densely punctate head. Description of male. Body elongate oval, cylindrical, glabrous, shiny; color yellow with discal areas of pronotum and elytra darker brown; striate punctation of elytra deeply impressed to apex. Length 2.3-3.1 mm; width across humeri 1.3-1.7 mm. Head yellow with darker brown areas on occiput and in median longitudinal groove between eyes. Eyes deeply emarginate, reniform. Vertex deeply, coarsely, punctate; area immediately mesad to eyes sparsely, shallowly punctate; more mesal area between eyes, coarsely, deeply punctate; frontal area below antennae finely punctate. Antennae filiform; antennomere 2 globular, about one third as long as antennomere 1; antennomeres 3-11 slender; antennomeres 1-5 pale yellow-brown, sparsely setose; antennomeres 6-11 dark brown, densely pubescent. Labrum and palpi pale yellow brown; mandibles piceous. Pronotum 1.5 times as wide as long, 1.7 times as wide as head across eyes, 0.7 times as wide as elytra across humeri. Anterior margin possessing fine bead; lateral margins each with strong, carinate bead; posterior margin without bead, weakly crenulate. Discal punctures coarse, larger than those on frontal area of head but smaller than those on elytra; interspaces polished. Color brown with anterior margin narrowly yellow, with lateral margins more broadly yellow, also with two vaguely paler areas near scutellum, these sometimes confluent with each other. Scutellum subtriangular, slightly elevated posteriad, yellow with margins darker. Elytra together 0.7 times as long as wide, 1.7 times as long as pronotum. Color pale brown, with poorly delimited yellow areas along base, lateral margins, apical margins, and sometimes suture, with epipleuron and most punctures dark brown. Punctation striate, with punctures rather coarse and deeply impressed, with those within each row normally separated by a distance less than their diameters, with those in neighboring rows separated by a distance subequal to their diameters; subscutellar stria short, extending about one third length of elytron; stria 1 (first complete row) approaching suture beyond subscutellar row, uniting with stria 2 near base of apical declivity; stria 3 paralleling stria 2 and uniting with stria 8 near elytral apex; striae 3 and 4 uniting with each other on apical declivity; stria 5 uniting with stria 7 on apical declivity; stria 6 located behind humerus, poorly defined, largely confused. Interpunctural areas polished. Ventral areas pale yellow-brown, with lateral areas of metathorax darker brown. Prothoracic hypomera polished, nearly impunctate; prosternum distinctly punctate, with punctures similar in size to those of head; anterior margin of prosternum evenly arcuate, without mesal angulation or spine; prosternum between coxae about as wide as each coxa. Mesothorax pale yellow-brown, laterally alutaceous. Metasternum shiny, deeply, coarsely, sparsely punctate; metepisterna densely pubescent. Ventral areas of abdomen alutaceous, densely punctate. Pygidium coarsely, closely punctate, with punctures somewhat smaller than those at apex of elytra. Legs pale yellow-brown; front and middle basitarsi slightly broader than those of female; tarsal claws simple. Aedeagus as in Figure 40. Description of female. Form and appearance similar to male, but with differences as follow. Eyes dorsally separated by 0.45 times maximum width of head. Pronotum 1.5 times as wide as long, 1.9 times as wide as head across eyes, 0.6 times as wide as elytra across humeri. Elytra together 1.4 times as long as wide and 2.2-2.3 times as long as pronotum. Front and middle basitarsi slightly narrower than those of male. Terminal ventrite possessing deep fovea. Spermatheca as in Figure 48. Length 3.0- 3.5 mm; width across humeri 1.6-1.8 mm. Material examined. Holotype: “ CAYMAN ISLANDS: Grand Cayman, Queen Elizabeth Botanical Garden, 28-V-2009 Thomas, Turnbow and Ball. Blacklight trap ” (male, FSCA). Paratypes: Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman, Mastic Trail, 28-V-2009, R. Turnbow (1 female, BYUC; 3 males, 1 female, RHTC); Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman, Mastic Trailhead S, 20-V-2009, R. Turnbow (1 female, RHTC); Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman, Queen Elizabeth Botanical Garden, 28-V-2009, Thomas, Turnbow and Ball, blacklight trap (1 male, BYUC; 3 females, FSCA). Plant associations. Unknown. Etymology. The species epithet of this taxon honors Catharine Barbara Clark, daughter of the senior author. Comments. The West Indies are especially species-rich with regards to the genus Cryptocephalus. Many species have already been named, and many more are yet to be described.Published as part of Clark, Shawn M., Lillrose, Tiffany & Belo Neto, Luiz A., 2013, Leaf Beetles of the Cayman Islands (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), pp. 1-41 in Insecta Mundi 2013 (279) on pages 30-31, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.517576
