Type host: “In the gape of the penguin” (Maskell 1885: 20) = Eudyptes pachyrhynchus G.R. Gray, 1845 Remarks. Dumbleton (1953: 24) lists Eudyptes pachyrhynchus as the host of the ticks described by Maskell and collected by A. Reischek at Dusky Sound, Fiordland. However, Reischek (1885: 194) only mentions “… an insect similar to the Membranacea inside the edges of the bill, …”. The taxon “Membranaceae” is listed by Stark (1828: 320) as a “Tribe” within the Hemiptera containing the bedbug genus Cimex Linnaeus, 1758 only. Although ticks and bedbugs are very different animals, their broad morphological and feeding similarities would justify Reischek’s (1885) identification. Although we have not been able to examine any tick from E. pachyrhynchus, other than the types, we accept the designation of this penguin species as the type host. Interestingly, Reischek (1885: 194) also records Eudyptula minor (J.R. Forster, 1781) from Dusky Sound, the type locality of I. eudyptidis, but without mentioning any external parasite. Material examined. Type specimens: Three syntype females (Reg. 2015.162.10; 2015.162.12–13) and six syntype nymphs (Reg. 2015.162.11; 2015.162.14–18), from Eudyptes pachyrhynchus (see above), held in the collection of the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch, New Zealand [CMNZ]. Although Dumbleton (1953: 12) wrote: “Maskell's type material (2 females and 7 nymphs) is in the Canterbury Museum, as is one female co-type and a nymph determined by Nuttall.”, i.e. 11 specimens in total, we have located only nine specimens (3 females and 6 nymphs) and we do not know the whereabouts of the two missing nymphs. Designation of a lectotype: Considering that we have identified and described a species morphologically close to I. eudyptidis, with the type series of the latter composed of syntype females and nymphs, we deemed it advisable to designate a lectotype to make the identification of I. eudyptidis unequivocal. Therefore, we hereby designate one female syntype, with Registration Number 2015.162.10 as the lectotype of I. eudyptidis. All other syntypes: two females and six nymphs with Registration Numbers 2015.162.11–18 become paralectotypes. All types are held in the collection of the CMNZ. Non-type material from New Zealand.

The future of forensic science education
No full textThis chapter explores the impact and implications of the new teaching exercise framework (TEF) and the future of the research exercise framework (REF) for forensic science education. It also considers the current and future for wide-ranging discussions about, and dissemination of, good practice in teaching, learning and assessment in forensic science and related disciplines. A prediction of the next decade of education in light of falling student numbers, increasing university fees and reduced opportunities for funding coupled with a shrinking forensic jobs market is considered. One aspect that will define forensic practice and education over the next decade and beyond is accreditation of not only forensic sciences education but also of practitioners and forensic science providers. Accreditation is based upon a series of 'component standards'. The standards address specific areas of forensic practice and are intended to augment underlying scientific knowledge of the forensic components

BMNH: Cerococcus corokiae on Corokia cotoneaster, NZ, -. iv. 1889 & 90, WMMaskell: 1 / 3 adff paralectotypes. NZAC: paralectotypes labelled: Solenophora corokiae Maskell, on Corokia cotoneaster, Sept. 1889, W.M.M: 1 / 1 adf, 1 /?adf?, 1 / 1 male, 1 / 1 second-stage f (Lambdin and Kosztarab (1977) mention 3 slides with 5 adff). BME: 1 / 2 paralectotype adff. Comment. No material of this species has been seen during this study. Based on Lambdin and Kosztarab’s (1977) description and illustration, the adult female of A. corokiae is characterised by the following combination of character-states: (i) dorsum with two sizes of 8 -shaped pores; (ii) large 8 -shaped pores sparse medially on cephalothorax, around margins and on either side of stigmatic pore bands; (iii) presence of 8 -shaped pores within apices of stigmatic pore bands unknown; (iv) large 8 -shaped pores present in a band along margins of posterior abdominal segments; (v) cribriform plates present in submedial groups of 4–7 plates, some occasionally fused, on each side of segment IV; (vi) leg stubs absent; (vii) posterior stigmatic bands bifurcated; (viii) multilocular discpores in sparse bands across all abdominal segments and submarginally on metathorax, and (ix) small pores, presumably quinquelocular disc-pores, present in a submarginal band between each antenna and posterior spiracles. The adult female of A. corokiae falls within Group D in the key to species of Antecerococcus and keys out close to A. parahybensis from Brazil.Published as part of Chris J. Hodgson & Douglas J.

Development, Oviposition and Longevity of Aleurothrixus floccosus (Maskell) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)
No full textDevelopment of the woolly whitefly, Aleurothrixus floccosus (Maskell) was observed on seedling lemon plants maintained at ambient temperature (ave. 22.5°C) and relative humidity. Total developmental lime from egg-to-adult averaged 27.4 ± 2.2 d. Peak adult emergence occurred between 0600 and 0900. Developmental rates and peak time of adult emergence were similar to those of other whiteflies recorded in literature. Oviposition began within 1 day after emergence and averaged 53.2 ± 9.3 eggs/female. Average adult longevity was 36.4 ± 13.6 d
