Dolichoderus canopus Shattuck & Marsden, 2013, sp. n.
No full textDolichoderus canopus sp. n. (Fig. 4) Types. Holotype worker from 6.5km ENE Canopus Homestead, Danggali Conservation Park, 33 ° 29 'S 140 ° 46 'E, South Australia, 21 May 1996, T.A. Weir & K. Pullen (ANIC, ANIC 32 -000797); 1 paratype worker, same data as holotype except ANIC 32 -0066652 (ANIC). Diagnosis. Pale markings absent from lower margin of the eyes; sculpturing pattern of head and pronotum, although with large fovea, is indistinct; in dorsal view the pronotum with only weakly defined shoulders, with the area between the shoulders convex to flat; pronotum and propodeum lacking spines; dorsum of propodeum weakly and evenly convex, the length shorter (at most approximately the same length) than the posterior face; a narrow, distinct carina separating the dorsal and posterior faces; posterior face of propodeum weakly concave; gaster dark brown to black with sparse pubescence on the first gastral tergite, with hairs generally not overlapping or entirely absent; tibiae with erect or suberect hairs. This species is most similar to D. formosus and D. nigricornis but can be distinguished by the weaker sculpturing pattern on the head compared to the distinct sculpturing pattern of D. formosus and D. nigricornis (Figs 4, 11 and 17). Worker description. See Fig. 4. The two known specimens of this species are nearly identical. Measurements (n= 2). CI 85 – 85; EI 36–37; EL 0.31–0.32; HL 1.01 – 1.01; HW 0.86 – 0.86; ML 1.32–1.38; MTL 0.73 – 0.73; PronI 64.92–68.22; PronW 0.56–0.58; SI 114–117; SL 0.98 –1.00. Comments. This species is currently known from only two specimens collected in a berlesate sample consisting of litter from under Casuarina cristata trees taken in southern South Australia. Nothing more is known of its biology.Published as part of Shattuck, Steven O. & Marsden, Sharon, 2013, Australian species of the ant genus Dolichoderus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), pp. 101-143 in Zootaxa 3716 (2) on pages 110-111, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3716.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24849
Dolichoderus albamaculus Shattuck & Marsden, 2013, sp. n.
No full textDolichoderus albamaculus sp. n. (Fig. 1) Types. Holotype worker from Billabong, 26 ° 49 'S 114 ° 37 'E, Western Australia, 12 August 1984, B.B. Lowery, sand, scrub (ANIC, ANIC 32 -066614); 7 paratype workers, same data as holotype except ANIC 32 - 061315 (5 in ANIC, 2 in MCZC). Diagnosis. Pale markings present near lower margin of eye; sculpturing on head consisting of large, shallow to moderately deep fovea; pronotum and propodeum lacking spines; posterior face of the propodeum strongly concave, separated from the dorsal face by a distinct carina; dorsum of propodeum weakly convex and elongate (longer than posterior); pubescence on first gastral tergite sparse, the individual hairs generally not overlapping, or hairs absent. This species is easily confused with D. semiorbis. It can be distinguished from this species by the presence of erect or suberect hairs on the tibiae (Fig. 1); and the more distinctive carina protruding upwards separating the dorsal and posterior face of the propodeum (Fig. 1 and Fig. 25). Worker description. See Fig. 1. The available material shows little variation from the imaged specimen. Measurements (n= 5). CI 74–79; EI 41–43; EL 0.30–0.34; HL 0.92–1.05; HW 0.72–0.78; ML 1.24–1.53; MTL 0.69–0.83; PronI 68.82–78.05; PronW 0.51–0.61; SI 112–128; SL 0.82–0.99. Material examined. Northern Territory: 60km N Alice Springs (Zakharov) (ANIC); South Australia: 51km W Emu Junction (Forrest,J.A.) (ANIC); Sevenhill (Lowery,B.B.) (ANIC); Western Australia: 0.6km W of Neergabby (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC); Caiguna RH (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC); Henderson (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC); Int. Holland Tr./Norseman Rd. (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC); The Granites (Mt. Magnet) (Heterick,B.E.) (JDMC). Comments. Although rarely encountered, D. albamaculus is widespread across semi-arid southern Australia, occurring from the Western Australian coast to eastern South Australia. It has been found in open scrub and Acacia woodland habitats.Published as part of Shattuck, Steven O. & Marsden, Sharon, 2013, Australian species of the ant genus Dolichoderus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), pp. 101-143 in Zootaxa 3716 (2) on page 106, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3716.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24849

Peter Jaeger, The Shadow Line
No full textPeter Jaeger’s The Shadow Line literally and figuratively shadows Joseph Conrad’s 1917 novella The Shadow Line by reading the original and re-writing its non-identical twin.
Peter Jaeger has produced poetry, criticism, hybrid creative-critical research, and artists’ books. His most recent publications are John Cage and Buddhist Ecopoetics and A Field Guide to Lost Things. He is Professor of Poetics at Roehampton University.
Robert Hampson is Chair of the UK Joseph Conrad Society, the author of three monographs on Conrad, including Conrad’s Secrets, and the editor of a number of Conrad’s works. He has written several books of poetry and is Director of the MA in Creative Writing at Royal Holloway.
MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE was established by artist and writer Sharon Kivland in 2013. The publications are modestly yet attractively produced, usually printed in small editions, and include the seriesThe Good Reader, to which Kivland invites others to reflect on reading (forthcoming are works by Vanessa Place, Kate Briggs, Sarah Wood, and Annabel Frearson).
