Austrodapus nitens Menard & Schuh 2011, new species
No full text<i>Austrodapus nitens</i>, new species Figures 11–12, 44L–O; plate 4 <p>DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the generic diagnosis.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION: See generic description.</p> <p> ETYMOLOGY: From the Latin <i>nitens,</i> ‘‘shiny.’’</p> <p> HOSTS: <i>Acacia</i> spp. (Fabaceae).</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: New South Wales.</p> <p> DISCUSSION: Within <i>Austrodapus</i> there is variability in the size and overall coloration; some specimens are more castaneous whereas others are more dark brown, and those collected more to the northern part of the range tend to be larger than specimens from the southern part. However there are no differences in the genitalia, coloration of the cuneus, the partial transverse fascia, appendages, or antennae to indicate that color differences warrant separation into separate species.</p> <p> HOLOTYPE: <b>AUSTRALIA: New South Wales:</b> Spring Hill, 33.39857 <b>°</b> S 149.15225 <b>°</b> E, 945 m, 03 Dec 2006, K.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Leucophoroptera gloriosa Menard & Schuh 2011, new species
No full text<i>Leucophoroptera gloriosa</i>, new species Figure 25; plates 6, 8 <p>DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by relatively narrow transverse white fascia with portion crossing clavus broken into two adjacent white spots (pl. 6), narrow vertex, and antennal segment 2 gold basally and dark brown distally.</p> <p> DESCRIPTION: <i>Male</i>: Macropterous, medium sized, elongate, and parallel sided. Total length 2.87, width pronotum 0.83, maximum width across hemelytra 0.84. COLORATION: Eyes pinkish silver. Antennal segment 1 gold, segment 2 gold basally, dark brown distally; segments 3 and 4 missing. Dorsolateral margin of metepisternum and scent gland with relatively thick white band, width equal to about third of total width of scent gland. Procoxa completely dark, meso- and metacoxae dark brown proximally, white distally. Pro- and mesofemora brown proximally and white distally, metafemur completely brown. Pro- and mesotibiae white; metatibia white anteriorly (externally) at joint with metafemur, remainder dark brown with parallel rows of dark spicules. All tarsomeres gold. Hemelytron primarily dark brown with narrow transverse white fascia with portion crossing clavus broken into two adjacent white spots, with dark brown posterior margin traversing entirety of hemelytron (pl. 6). Lateral margin of corium posterior to transverse fascia weakly transparent, with area anterior to cuneal fracture chocolate brown. Anterior half of cuneus white, posterior portion dark brown to reddish brown. Membrane pale brown with dark-brown colored veins. SURFACE AND VESTITURE: Gold simple setae longer that in <i>L. quadrimaculata</i> and <i>L. kangarooina.</i> STRUCTURE: Frons convex, clypeus exserted and partially visible in dorsal view. Vertex convex, posterior margin flat, width equal to width of one eye. Area below eyes at least <b>M</b> total height of head in lateral view, gula well developed. Eyes visibly removed from dorsal surface of vertex in anterior view, posterior margin partially obscuring anterior of pronotum in lateral view. Antennal segment 2 nearly 1.5 times head width. Remaining characters as in generic description. GENITALIA: Not located in genitalia vial attached to holotype and therefore not described.</p> <p> <i>Female:</i> Unknown.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY: Named from Mt. Glorious on which it was collected.</p> <p>HOSTS: Unknown; collecting label states rain forest.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: Queensland.</p> <p> DISCUSSION: This species has several unique characters not seen in L. <i>quadrimaculata</i> and <i>L. kangarooina</i>, but is placed in <i>Leucophoroptera</i> based on the phylogenetic analysis of the tribe and the shared characters of the almost completely white cuneus (Menard and Woolley, in press). Until the genitalia are examined this taxon is placed in <i>Leucophoroptera.</i></p> <p> HOLOTYPE: <b>AUSTRALIA: Queensland:</b> Mt Glorious, 27.33333 <b>°</b> S 152.7667 <b>°</b> E, 750 m, 05 Feb 1961 – 08 Feb 1961, Rain Forest, J.L. & M.
