Penis valvae as in Fig. 3e. Larva (Fig. 5). Body length 4.0–5.0 mm. Ground colour green, head yellow green; dark transparent dorsal vessel with flanking white bands of fat body. Cuticle smooth; thoracic segments with two rows of tiny black warts bearing short setae; abdominal segments with six annulets, the second annulet with 3–4 bristles, the fourth annulet with 4 bristles; the first and second postspiracular lobe with three small black warts with short setae; subspiracular and surpedal lobes with four small black warts with short setae. Variability. In adult females the yellow pattern on the abdominal tergites varies to some extent from largely yellow to predominantly black. Differential diagnosis. Pristiphora bohemica sp. nov. is morphologically similar to P. angulata Lindqvist, 1974 (Figs. 2, 4), differing from it in the ovipositor sheath rounded in profile and dorsoapical scopa emarginate in dorsal view, and largely yellow abdominal sterna. In P. angulata the ovipositor sheaths are subtruncate in profile and tapered posteriorly in dorsal view, the abdominal sterna being mostly black. The males of both species are morphologically identical and distinguished only by the genitalia. For comparison the following material of P. angulata was examined: Russia, St. Peterburg distr., Voronya gora Mt., 14.v.1984, 2 JJ 1 ♀ ex Spiraea chamaedryfolia, A. G. Zinovjev lgt. & det. (NMPC). Etymology. The species name refers to the area of origin, Bohemia, the western historical land of the Czech Republic. Bionomics. The larvae were swept from Spiraea salicifolia (Rosaceae) in riverine marshy meadows together with the larvae of the sawfly Dinax ermak and the butterfly Neptis coenobita (Scopoli, 1763) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) from the end of May to the beginning of June 2008. Full grown larvae form a firm cocoon in the soil debris in which they hibernate as prepupae. They pupate in the next spring. All adults (5 females, 4 males) emerged on April 5, 2009. Distribution. Czech Republic: southern Bohemia. Based on the findings of larvae in 2009– 2011, the distribution range of P. bohemica sp. nov. in the Czech Republic corresponds with the native distribution pattern of Spiraea salicifolia in southern Bohemia (KOBLÍŽEK 1992). Supposedly this is a vicariant species to its relative P. angulata, so far known only from Scandinavia, Estonia and Russia (LINDQVIST 1974, TAEGER & BLANK 2011).Published as part of Macek, Jan, 2012, Pristiphora bohemica sp. nov., a new sawfly species from the Czech Republic (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Tenthredinidae), pp. 267-272 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 52 (1) on pages 268-272, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.533024

Josef Macek Between Liberal Socialism and Social Liberalism
No full textMy article is an impetus for a discussion on liberal aspect of the thinking of social democratic politician and economist Josef Macek (1887-1972). In the first part I define Macek´s approach to liberalism (his understanding of the basic notions, concept of the relationship between an individual and the society, idea of the relationship between socialism and liberalism and his interpretation of Adam Smith). My conclusion is that though Macek was a conscious socialist and he had limitations in respect to libertarian interpretation of the classic liberalism of the 19th century, he was at the same time to a considerable extent influenced by liberalism and he constantly oscillated on the threshold between socialism and liberalism. In the second part of the article I contemplate possible sources of inspiration of Macek´s opinions - I primarily question the extent of the influence of F. Oppenheimer and J. M. Keynes - and, moreover, I consider the general ideological context in which Macek´s opinions could be embedded. In this respect I conclude that Macek was influenced both by Oppenheimer as well as Keynes but by each of them in a different manner, on a diverse level of commonness and at a different moment. However, the liberal aspect of Macek´s thinking far more likely grew out of his knowledge of Oppenheimer and some Anglo-Saxon authors, who have either never or seldom been put in context with Macek, than from his knowledge of Keynes.socialism, Political Theory, liberalism, Josef Macek, John Maynard Keynes, history of economic thought, Franz Oppenheimer

Theory of money of Josef Macek and his monetary policy view
No full textDuring 1930s and 1940s Josef Macek developed monetary theory leading to monetary policy recommendations which are deeply influenced by macroeconomic theory of John Maynard Keynes. Macek became leading Czech left-wing keynesian. His theory of money was nominalist and similarly to J. M. Keynes and G. Cassel he elaborated the concept of managed fiat money. He critisized and disapproved the quantity theory of money. In his monetary theory and his monetary policy conclusions he was a forerunner of contemporary post-keynesian monetary theories. Money supply is in his monetary theory highely endogenous and he expressed certain doubts about effeciency of monetary policy measures as antirecessionary remedy.monetary policy, Czech Keynesians, history of the Czech economic thought, Josef Macek, theory of money, anti-recessionary policy

Head orange yellow with variable dark pattern varying according to the stage of development: young instars with head orange yellow without dark pattern, older instars with variable pattern consisting of two parietal spots (as in S. multifasciata), last instar with dark upper half of head. Notes on identification. The last instar larvae differ from the similar S. multifasciata by the black upper half of the head. The larvae also appear earlier (May to June). Bionomics. Univoltine. Flight period from late April to early June; larval period from May to June. Host plants: Dryopteris (= Aspidium), Polystichum (Dryopteridaeceae), Athyrium (Woodsiaceae) and Pteridium aquilinum (Dennstaedtiaceae) (TAEGER et al. 1998). I collected the larvae exclusively on P. aquilinum. Distribution. Palaearctic Region (central and northern Europe, Siberia, China, Japan) (NAITO 1996). Scattered occurrence in the Czech Republic from uplands to highlands. Comments. Both S. xanthocera and S. multifasciata are closely related and frequently occur at the same localities but have clearly separate flight periods. Strongylogaster xanthocera is a vernal species with the flight period from the end April to the end of the May, while S. multifasciata is mostly a summer species flying from early June to mid July, with partial overlap in late May and early June. The larvae of S. xanthocera feed on the bursting fronds of Pteridium and are grown up by early June, when the first instar of S. multifasciata appears. The larval period of S. multifasciata extends from June to early August before the ripening of the fern sori of Pteridium. Eonymphs of both species bore into bark for hibernation (WELKE 1959) and in captivity they also accept dry rotten wood (my observation).Published as part of Macek, Jan, 2010, Taxonomy, distribution and biology of selected European Dinax, Strongylogaster and Taxonus species (Hymenoptera: Symphyta), pp. 253-271 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 50 (1) on page 260, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.532555

Antonín Macek: the poet, publicist and writer
No full textThe present study Antonín Macek: the poet, the publicist and the prosaist is concerned with the works of Antonín Macek, one of the forgotten Czech authors of the first two decades of twentieth century. The literary science has not taken the sufficient account of his artistic legacy so far. Just the marxistic theorists in the second half of twentieth century has perused his writings and viewed Macek's merely as a revolutionary socialistic writer with respect to his leftist politics (displayed especially in his journal articles). Our main purpose is to prove that this view is quite simplified and that Macek's work at full is much richer. For this purpose we tried to restore all the original editions of Macek's writings (especially his poems and tales) to reach new and current interpretation. We attempted to specify his apparently solitary place in the history of Czech literature by marking out his relations to more remarkable writers of Macek's epoch (such as S. K. Neumann, F. X. Šalda, J. S. Machar, M. Marten, O. Theer etc.) and incorporate his works in the field of opposed contemporary styles (such as symbolism, social poetry, nature lyrics, proletary poetry etc.). We have applied special respect to religious aspects of Macek's writings, which were depreciated by the latter marxistic interpreters. Our..
