Diagnosis. Large euryteles with shaft:capsule proportion 3.0– 3.6; in pads on hydranth body, spadix of female gonophores, and in a whorl of 16–25 around hypostome. Female blastostyles with reduced hypostome and tentacles. Etymology. From the Tupi native language “ cáraiurú ” (= powerful mouth), in reference to the presence of large euryteles on the hypostome. Description. Colonies dioecious, arborescent, up to 54 mm in height, main stems unfascicled. Hydrocauli arising from creeping hydrorhiza; branches many, more or less alternate, occurring over entire hydrocaulus, branches up to third order, in radiate planes or rarely more or less planar; pedicels arising from main stem or branches of first, second or third order. Perisarc of main stem strongly developed, dark brown, single tubes 0.40 mm in diameter, with scarce annulations, in sets of 3–8 rings. Branches with 3–7 rings at origin, 0.20–0.25 mm in diameter. Pedicels sometimes completely annulated, yellowish, ca. 0.10 mm in diameter. Hydranths 0.18–0.75 mm in height, 0.18–0.57 mm in diameter (measured in the body region just below the tentacles), orange in color, with a distinct groove in the aboral region; tentacles 23–34 in number, occurring in a whorl below hypostome. Some hydranths with reduced tentacles juxtaposed in two close whorls. Gonophores styloids, arising from body of hydranth. Immature styloids placed in a circle around body of hydranth. Male blastostyle orange, with 10–29 sporosacs, each sporosac 1–2 chambered, linked to blastostyle body by a stalk, with a very distinct spadix over its longitudinal axis, and a terminal tubercle on its apex; distal chamber 0.12–0.18 mm in diameter. Male blastostyles completely reduced over earlier stages of their development with pedicels corrugated throughout. Female gonophores orange, arising on partially reduced blastostyles with highly atrophied hypostome and degenerated tentacles. Immature eggs having a simple and curved spadix over a single egg. Blastostyle reducing completely during development or at maximum with 1–5 stumps (tentacles), and spadices shed. Mature oval eggs thickened by perisarc and linked directly to the wrinkled pedicel by short and shallow concave peduncles. Eggs 4–7 in number, 0.24–0.39 mm in diameter. Nematocysts of two categories, heterotrichous microbasic euryteles and heterotrichous macrobasic (or mesobasic) euryteles. Small microbasic euryteles (seen discharged), 6.1 –8.0 X 2.9–3.9 m, L / W = 1: 2.05– 2.1, oval, abundant; distributed over hydranth body, hypostome, coenosarc, and tentacles. Large macrobasic euryteles (seen discharged), 18.7–22.7 X 7.1–9.3 m, L / W 1: 2.4– 2.6, bean shaped, common. Discharged shaft up to 60 m in length, 3. 0–3.6 times length of capsule; undischarged shaft in 1.5 coils inside capsule; distributed on hydranth body sometimes forming pads to a continuous ring, up to 25 capsules on hypostome, coenosarc, terminal tubercle, and immature female spadix sometimes forming pads. Distribution.

Phallic guide (Fig. 3 I, J) simple, narrow. Phallus trifid, short ramified with ducts distinctly separated only in distal 1/3 and each duct with a small subapical projection (Fig. 3 I, J). Ejaculatory apodeme very large, almost 2 times as long as hypandrium (Fig. 3 I). REMARKS Clistoabdominalis Skevington is easily distinguishable from the other genera of Eudorylini by the following features (Skevington 2001; Skevington & Yeates 2001): tergite 1 with lateral fan of setae absent or minute; syntergostemite 8 swollen, partially to entirely fused; membranous area of syntergosternite 8 usually absent and if present, very small; hypandrium deflected left at nearly 90° to phallic guide; phallus trifid, with ducts distinctly separated only in distal 1/3 and ejaculatory apodeme large, with a swollen basal rosette. Clistoabdominalis mitarakensis Marques & Rafael, n. sp. does not fit all generic characters as the syntergosternite 8 is not swollen, but as it fits most of the Clistoabdominalis characters: (the size and shape of the hypandrium, phallus and ejaculatory apodeme), it is tentatively placed in Clistoabdominalis.Published as part of Marques, Dayse W.

The specific epithet is a patronym honoring Marta Maria Almeida Marques, mother of the first author. Distribution. Brazil: Maranhão (Cerrado Biome). Discussion. Elmohardyia martae sp. nov. is close to E. quadricornis sp. nov. due to the strongly developed right gonopod, almost reaching to the apex of the phallic guide, and the phallus with a long subapical spicule. Elmohardyia martae sp. nov. differs from E. quadricornis sp. nov. by the somewhat triangular apex of the left surstylus (somewhat subquadrangular in E. quadricornis sp. nov.), the simple phallic guide (two additional processes present in E. quadricornis sp. nov.) and the subapical spicule being simple apically (being bifid apically in E. quadricornis sp. nov.).Published as part of Marques, Dayse W.

    The author shares his reflections on state of art in housing and urban planning, deficiencies, expectations and possibilities in the Sahel region of Africa. He notices, that the housing problem in Africa is one of the challenges, which should be solved in order to recover life dignity of African people and secure their rights to traditional family life in acceptable conditions. The paper describes the studies on the typical dispersed urban structures and the need to foster this type of settlement structure and proposals of introduction of new on light steel frame housing system in the area of Sahel, combining the traditional way of building houses with modern technology. The particularly analysed case, is the housing problem in the Republic of Chad. The author presents the basic discussion on this topic and his architectural proposals. Unfortunately, the gap between the needs and the financial feasibility of housing construction in this area, makes this project already at the starting point extremely difficult to be realized without external subventions.Problem mieszkaniowy w Afryce jest jednym z wyzwań, które należy rozwiązać, aby Afrykanie mogli odzyskać godność życiową i zabezpieczyć swoje prawa do tradycyjnego życia rodzinnego w akceptowalnych warunkach. W artykule opisano badania nad typowymi rozproszonymi strukturami miejskimi i potrzebą wspierania tego typu struktur osadniczych oraz propozycji wprowadzenia nowego systemu konstrukcji domów, opartym na lekkim szkielecie stalowym, łączącym tradycyjny sposób budowania domów z nowoczesną technologią. Przypadkiem szczególnie analizowanym jest problem mieszkaniowy w Republice Czadu. Autor przedstawia podstawową dyskusję na ten temat i swoje propozycje architektoniczne. Niestety luka między potrzebami mieszkaniowymi w Czadzie a finansową wykonalnością budownictwa mieszkaniowego w tym obszarze sprawia, że projekt ten, już w punkcie wyjścia, jest niezwykle trudny do realizacji bez uzyskania zewnętrznych dotacji
