Resisting the Neoliberal “Modernisation” of Public Services in Contemporary Scotland : the Case of Public Sector Workers
No full textChapter Four, by Patricia McCafferty and Gerry Mooney, examines the changes to work organisation and workplace relations in the state sector, and how these have been resisted by workers, not only in defence of their own conditions, but of the services which they provide to the public

This species is named in honor of the JMW's late grandmother, Dorothy Webb. Diagnosis and discussion. Larvae of N. dorothae are identified by the presence of two rows of denticles on the tarsal claws (Fig. 6c). Nixe dorothae and N. perfida are superficially similar and occur in the same geographic region, but, in addition to the second row of denticles, N. dorothae larvae usually have two pairs of pale sublateral spots on each abdominal tergum (Fig. 1) whereas N. perfida larvae have only a single pair. Nixe flowersi is also known from southern Indiana but differs from N. dorothae by having a single row of denticles on the tarsal claws, clavate robust setae on the femora (similar to Fig. 18), and much more extensive pale areas on the abdominal terga (Fig. 19, McCafferty 1977: Fig. 3, as Heptagenia perisimplex McDunnough, 1929) The reddish brown markings on the abdominal sterna can vary within populations from completely absent to well developed and should not be considered diagnostic. Adult males are differentiated from North American congeners by the combination of the reddish brown dorsal color pattern (Fig. 7) and penes with median spines on the apical sclerites (Fig. 10). The only other North American species with spines on the apical sclerites is N. flowersi, but its abdomen is cream colored rather than reddish brown. Nixe horrida, N. lucidipennis, N. perfida and N. rusticalis all have reddish brown abdominal terga, but the penes lack median spines on the apical sclerites. Nixe dorothae were most often collected from small, intermittent or spring-fed streams in southern Indiana. Material examined.

Susua Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty 1998
No full textGenus Susua Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty 1998 (Figs 1–110) Susua Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty 1998: 24. Type species Afroptilum niandanensis Wuillot in Wuillot & Gillies 1993b. Diagnosis. Tergalius I is sharply different from others, petiolate, i.e. narrow in proximal part and widened in distal part (Figs 20, 41, 72). The same in Dabulamanzia and Cheleocloeon, but not in Crassabwa, whose tergalius I is wide in proximal part, but is bent in such a way that looks like petiolate (Kluge et al. 2017: Figs 13, 84). Each tergalius I–VII with costal and anal ribs on costal and anal margins, with distal margin not bordered by rib (Figs 20–26, 72–76). At least tergalii II–VII are unable for rhythmical respiratory movements: in S. niandanensis only tergalii of 1 st pair make respiratory movements, in S. sigiensis all tergalii are unable for respiratory movements. Cuticular coloration of abdominal terga is similar in both species: cuticle of terga VII–VIII and X either colorless, or with brown pigmentation less intensive than on terga III–VI and IX (Figs 3, 12, 79, 81). Maxillary palp 2-segmented, with 2nd segment very soft and delicate (Wuillot & Gillies 1993b: Fig. 21) (in contrast to Crassabwa, whose 2nd segment is widened). Muscle-abductor of 2nd segment of labial palp is attached at base of submentum (Fig. 5) [in contrast to Crassabwa, where it is attached at median groove of submentum (Kluge et al. 2017: Fig. 5)]. Larval abdominal terga II–VI either without denticles, or with irregular denticles alternating with scales (Fig. 37) [in contrast to Crassabwa, whose abdominal terga I–X have regular row of pointed denticles on posterior margin (Kluge et al. 2017: Fig. 20)]. Larval cerci with small denticles on lateral sides of all segments (Fig. 10) (in contrast to Crassabwa, whose cerci and paracercus have prominent denticles enlarged on each 2nd segment). Postsubalar sclerite has posterior-dorsal corner stretched to a process with convex dorsal margin (Figs 49, 102). The same in many other taxa, but in contrast to Crassabwa, whose posterior-dorsal process is thinner, with concave dorsal margin (Kluge et al. 2017: Figs 36, 98). Postsubalare has the same shape in imago and subimago, being well visible on subimaginal exuviae due to contrasting cuticular coloration. Composition. The genus Susua includes two species, S. sigiensis (Gillies 2001) and S. niandanensis (Wuillot in Wuillot & Gillies 1993). Two species which Salles, Gattolliat & Sartori (2016) reported as «aff. Susua sp. 1» and «aff. Susua sp. 2», were subsequently moved to the genus Crassabwa and described as Crassabwa ameliae Kluge et al. 2017 and C. ludmilae Kluge et al. 2017 correspondingly (see below).Published as part of Kluge, Nikita J., Gattolliat, Jean-Luc, Salles, Frederico F. & Novikova, Eugenia A., 2018, Revision of the Afrotropical genus Susua Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty 1998 (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae: Protopatellata), pp. 1-28 in Zootaxa 4434 (1) on page 5, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4434.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/129084
Americabaetis titthion Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty 1996
No full textAmericabaetis titthion Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, 1996 (Figs. 1e, 30) Americabaetis titthion Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, 1996: 167; Francischetti et al., 2003: 69; Salles et al., 2004: 23; Domínguez et al., 2006: 72; Salles et al., 2010: 302. Diagnoses. Nymphs: 1) frontal keel absent; 2) lingua broadly pointed apically; 3) glossa 0.8x length of paraglossa; 4) apex of paraglossa with rows of pectinate setae; 5) segment II of labial palp with a moderate distomedial projection; 6) posterior margin of abdominal terga with rounded spines; 7) meso and metasternum with a setose paired protuberance. Female imago: 1) forewing with costal area reddish-brown; 2) posterior margin of head dorsally projected; 3) meso and metasterna with small, setose paired protuberance. Male imago: unknown, see comments bellow. Distribution. BRAZIL: Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina; Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais (Fig. 1d). Comments. Americabaetis titthion is until now endemic to southeastern Brazil. Nymphs are present in shallow areas above rocks, in moderate to fast current (Fig. 30). The meso and metasternal projections, typical of this species [see Fig. 51 of Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty (1996)], probably aids the nymph to withstand in this kind of habitat. At the Parque Nacional do Caparaó, where it is abundant, this is the only species of mayfly found above 2250 m.a.s.l. Although only females of this species have been described (Salles et al. 2003), the vestiges of the meso and metaesternal projections should also be encountered in male adults once these protuberances are found in nymphs of both sexes. This characteristic would be enough to distinguish male imagos of A. titthion from other members of Americabaetis. Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty (1996), as well as Domínguez et al. (2006), described the setae at the apex of the paraglossa of this species as simple. However, we examined nymphs of A. titthion from different localities and concluded that these setae are pectinate, just as in the other species of the genus that live in areas with moderate to fast current above rocks (i.e., A. labiosus and A. mecistognathus, sp. nov.). At least in South America, species that live in a similar habitat, such as those of the genera Baetodes and Camelobaetidius Demoulin, exhibit the same kind of setae at the same place. According to Batista et al. (2006), these mayflies should be assigned to the grazer functional feeding group, once they use the tip of its mouthparts, as collectors, to remove periphyton. The presence of that kind of setae at the apex of the paraglossa should be regarded as a convergence among these genera, and a possible sinapomorphy among these three species of Americabaetis.
