In the Studio with Munari = Nello Studio Con Munari
No full text"Bruno Munari, that is, creativity through his most important works, presented by the Master himself in his studio. On the occasion of “Bruno Munari. Il gioco della città senza limiti”, organized by the libraries of the city of Rome during the “Festa del Cinema” 2007, "In the studio with Munari" is the video-history of a life made of imagination and brilliance: a special edition book with a 13’ dvd. Following the order created by the “sedimentation” of time in his studio, Munari’s most important works flow between his own hands: from the light “Filipesi” to the fossil clock “Tempofermo”, from the bookcase “Vademecum” to the “Trottola dei colori”. Most of them were designed by Munari himself, but many others have been simply collected in time, unrealized projects or works of the so-called “anonymous design”. The video by Andrea Piccardo comes from one of the last Munari’s interviews in his studio in Milan (1995). The book gathers the most significant stills of the video, together with a selection of short texts from the interview. The foreword by Alberto Munari, son of Bruno, describes his father’s work in the studio from the point of view of his own childhood." -- Publisher's websit

Mathis, 3 ♂♂ 4 ♀♀, [LMC, USNM].</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> This species belongs to the <i>Dasyrhicnoessa tripunctata</i> -group (Munari, 2015a). It differs from the other species of this group mainly by the different outlines, in lateral view, of both anterior and posterior surstyli (figs. 9‒10). However, the specimens examined here differ from those of the type series from Goa (India) in having a slightly different shape of the anterior surstylus in lateral view (fig. 12). This is probably due to geographic variation, in that the posterior surstylus in the two populations is quite similar in both lateral and posterior views (Figs. 9, 11). Actually, the posterior surstylus is always consistently diagnostic in all species of the <i>Dasyrhicnoessa tripunctata</i> -group. Munari (2005a) stated that this species is characterised by having frons and gena distinctly darker than those of <i>D. tripunctata</i> Sasakawa, 1974. However, further observations, including the descriptions of two other new species, have proved these character states are not consistent, and fall within the range of variation seen within this group. Therefore, the most reliable method of distinguishing this species from the others with spotted abdominal tergites is to examine the structures of the male terminalia. <i>D. adelpha</i> is recorded here for the first time from the United Arab Emirates.</p>Published as part of <i>Munari, Lorenzo, 2016, The Canacidae of the Arabian Peninsula (Diptera: Brachycera: Carnoidea), pp. 489-517 in Zootaxa 4092 (4)</i> on page 496, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4092.4.2, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/264498">http://zenodo.org/record/264498</a>

Afrotropical: United Arab Emirates. Diagnosis. Body length 2.0‒ 2.5 mm; yellowish brown species with brown spot on the scutellum (fig. 18); setal vestiture pale yellow to golden brown; wings yellowish. Head higher than long; ventral face protrudent; facial knob strongly callose (much more obvious than in all other congeners of the alboguttata -group); eye small, noticeably oblique and oblong, its longest diameter twice as long as genal height; gena broad, yellow, uniformly microtomentose; mouth parts with labella much shorter than the length of the buccal cavity; thorax brownish, with mesonotum bearing more or less obvious longitudinal brown stripes; prescutellar acrostichals, if present, rather short and thin; both proepisternal and proepimeral setae present; katepisternum with longitudinal, median, black stripe, or even with ventral half brownish to entirely black; meron blackish; wing vein CuA 1 blackish on its distal half; crossveins without any trace of white halo; surstylus of male terminalia with characteristic anterobasal lobe bearing long setae, posteroventral lobe with erect setae (figs 19‒20).Published as part of Munari, Lorenzo, 2016, The Canacidae of the Arabian Peninsula (Diptera: Brachycera: Carnoidea), pp. 489-517 in Zootaxa 4092 (4) on page 501, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4092.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/26449

Afrotropical: Oman. Diagnosis. Body length 1.6‒2.1 mm; pale yellow species with grey mesonotum; scutellum with brown spot (fig. 24); setal vestiture pale, golden yellowish to whitish; wings with pale yellow membrane and veins. Head distinctly subtriangular, about as long as high; ventral face protrudent as in Tethina illota (Haliday, 1838); eye oblique, markedly oblong, its longest diameter 2.9 times as long as genal height; gena yellow, with weak trace of translucent, longitudinal band; mouth parts with labella very long and narrow, much longer than the length of the buccal cavity; palpus very long and narrow; thorax yellowish grey, mesonotum distinctly darker; 3-4 rows of acrostichal setulae on the anterior half of the scutum; prescutellar acrostichals moderately long; both proepisternal and proepimeral setae present; legs pale yellow, with apical tarsomere of mid and hind legs more or less infuscated; crossveins of wing without any trace of white halo; perianal area of epandrium with two distinct patches of micropapillae bearing microtrichia (fig. 26); surstylus long, narrow, bent forward on the distal half (lateral view), large and with broad mesal lobe in posterior view (figs. 25‒26).Published as part of Munari, Lorenzo, 2016, The Canacidae of the Arabian Peninsula (Diptera: Brachycera: Carnoidea), pp. 489-517 in Zootaxa 4092 (4) on page 503, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4092.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/26449
Afrotethina martinezi Munari 2005

Distribution. Afrotropical: Oman, United Arab Emirates, Yemen. Palaearctic: Qatar, Saudi Arabia (new). Additional material examined. Saudi Arabia: Jazan, Alshogaiek, 9 m, 17 ° 41 ’N – 42 °02’E, sweeping seaweed, 12.ii. 2015, H.A. Dawah, 49 ♂♂ 58 ♀♀, plus numerous unprepared specimens of both sexes. (Jazan University, LMC, NMWC, USNM). Remarks. This Arabian species is distinguished from the congeners mainly by the following combination of characters: costal vein distinctly extended beyond R 4 + 5, reaching the apex of M 1; thorax dark grey; setae and setulae dark brown to blackish, often with golden reflections; gena relatively broad, longest diameter of eye about 2.7 times the height of the gena; legs uniformly yellowish; hindfemur of male not swollen, without anteroventral comb of spine-like setae on distal third; male terminalia (figs. 6‒8) with anterior surstylus deeply bifurcate; posterior surstylus distinctly almond-shaped in lateral view. Afrotethina martinezi seems to be endemic to the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, where it is widespread. The zoogeographic affinities of this species are to the south, and specifically with the seashores of the Afrotropical Region.Published as part of Munari, Lorenzo, 2016, The Canacidae of the Arabian Peninsula (Diptera: Brachycera: Carnoidea), pp. 489-517 in Zootaxa 4092 (4) on page 495, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4092.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/26449
Suffomyia dancei Munari 2008
No full textSuffomyia dancei Munari, 2008 (figs. 44 ─ 46) Suffomyia dancei Munari, 2008 b: 42 [Oman. Muscat, Haramel; HT ♂, NMWC]. Distribution. Afrotropical: Oman. Remarks. This species is quite similar externally to Suffomyia scutellaris Freidberg, 1995, but it can be easily distinguished from it on the basis of the features of the male and female postabdomen. It differs from the closely related S. scutellaris mainly by the following characters of the external terminalia: male—surstylus distinctly subrectangular in lateral view (fig. 45), with abruptly truncated apex (in Freidberg’s species the surstylus is markedly subtriangular in lateral view, with rather tapered apex (fig. 48)), roughly triangular and shortened in posterior view (fig. 44) (noticeably rectangular and elongated in S. scutellaris (fig. 47)); cercus sclerotized, short, bowl-shaped, with distinctly concave mesal margin (in Freidberg’s species the cercus is slightly diaphanous, simple, elongated, narrow, with mesal margin membranous, curved but never concave); female (fig. 46)—tergite 6 slightly divided proximally; tergite 7 with a pair of separated sclerites, each bearing a distinctive, very long, strongly sclerotized, proximal process oriented towards tergite 6. The female postabdomen of S. scutellaris (fig. 49) has the 6 th tergite undivided medially, and the 7 th tergite is simple, without elongated processes. These two species of west Palaearctic Suffomyia occur sympatrically and syntopically, at least in the eastern territories of the Arabian Peninsula.Published as part of Munari, Lorenzo, 2016, The Canacidae of the Arabian Peninsula (Diptera: Brachycera: Carnoidea), pp. 489-517 in Zootaxa 4092 (4) on page 510, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4092.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/26449
