Metrichia brocha Thomson and Armitage 2018, sp. n.
No full textMetrichia brocha Thomson and Armitage, sp. n. Fig. 4. Diagnosis. Metrichia brocha is most similar to M. spica Bueno-Soria and Holzenthal. In both species, the inferior appendage is suborbicular in lateral view, with 2 processes along the ventral margin. However, the anterior process is truncate in M. spica (Bueno-Soria and Holzenthal 2003) and pointed in M. brocha. Additionally, the emargination between the 2 processes is larger in M. spica than in M. brocha. Male. Forewing length 2.5–2.7 mm (n = 7). Head unmodified, with 3 ocelli; antennae unmodified. Tibial spur count 1, 3, 4. Color in alcohol brown, denuded. Genitalia. Abdominal sternum VII without mesoventral process. Segment VIII unmodified. Segment IX anterolateral margin convex, narrowing and withdrawn into segments VII–VIII, posterolateral margin convex; dorsally with posterior margin membranous, flat. Preanal appendage short, rounded. Dorsolateral hook slender, decurved. Inferior appendage setose, suborbicular with small anteroventral pointed process and large, heavily sclerotized mesoventral pointed process; ventrally, large pointed process curved inward. Tergum X membranous, amorphous. Phallus widest at base, narrowing to median constriction, membranous apex with 3 spines, 1st and 2nd curved strongly outwards, 3rd slender, elongate, extending apically. Type material.

Rhyacopsyche totuma Thomson and Armitage 2018, sp. n.
No full textRhyacopsyche totuma Thomson and Armitage, sp. n. Fig. 8. Diagnosis. Rhyacopsyche totuma is most similar to R. intraspira Wasmund and Holzenthal, 2007. In both species, the apex of the dorsolateral lobe of segment IX is truncate and bears peglike setae. The apex of the inferior appendage of R. intraspira bears 2 peglike setae (Wasmund and Holzenthal 2007), while R. totuma bears only one. The membranous portion of the phallus of R. intraspira bears spicules, which are lacking in R. totuma. Male. Head unmodified, with 3 ocelli; antennae unmodified. Tibial spur count 1, 3, 4. Color in alcohol brown, denuded. Genitalia. Abdominal sternum VII without mesoventral process. Segment VIII unmodified. Segment IX anterolateral margin convex, posterolateral margin with truncate dorsolateral lobe bearing peglike setae. Inferior appendage elongate, setose, curved gradually upwards, apex with triangular emargination and 1 peglike seta. Tergum X membranous, bi-lobed in dorsal view, contracted inside dorsolateral lobes of segment IX. Phallus basally tubular, elongate, narrow, apex membranous and with 2 thickened lateral spines.

Belonging: natural histories of place, identity and home
No full textCanongate's synopsis:
"Reflecting on family, identity and nature, Belonging is a personal memoir about what it is to have and make a home. It is a love letter to nature, especially the northern landscapes of Scotland and the Scots pinewoods of Abernethy – home to standing dead trees known as snags, which support the overall health of the forest.
Belonging is a book about how we are held in thrall to elements of our past. It speaks to the importance of attention and reflection, and will encourage us all to look and observe and ask questions of ourselves.
Beautifully written and featuring Amanda Thomson’s artwork and photography throughout, it explores how place, language and family shape us and make us who we are."
Longlisted for the Highland Book Prize, 2023

Outstanding - ROBERT MACFARLANE
Amanda Thomson’s new book manages to carve out a distinctive niche for itself . . . This is a passionate book and infused with a sense of rootedness - STUART KELLY, The Scotsman
In recent years rural landscapes have turned into battlegrounds, and nature writing has become increasingly polemical. Belonging is a quiet book of questions in a genre full of answers, but it is all the more powerful and beautiful for this - PATRICK GALBRAITH, TLS
One of the best things I have read in ages . . . Quiet and beautiful and powerful - ALYS FOWLER
Thomson writes of the natural in a way I have yet to encounter before. There is no real hoo-haa, no flowery description of which to speak yet somehow, I came away with that ache inside me — that renewed obsession with the world that is only borne of a very particular kind of writing — poetic, loving, raw . . . Like no other - KERRI Ní DOCHARTAIGH, Caught by the River
In strikingly original takes on Scottish history, environmentalism, Black feminist theory, artmaking, list-making, memory, and memoir, Thomson crafts a cadence that is as wise as it is vitally alive. - MARGOT DOUAIHY, author of Scorched Grac
Metrichia calla Thomson and Armitage 2018, sp. n.
No full textMetrichia calla Thomson and Armitage, sp. n. Fig. 5. Diagnosis. Metrichia calla is most similar to M. sesquipedalis Bueno-Soria and Holzenthal. Both species bear a large inferior appendage truncate basally, extended and accuminate apically. In ventral view, the broad base of the inferior appendage narrows gradually to the slender apex in M. sesquipedalis (Bueno-Soria and Holzenthal 2003), but does so very abruptly in M. calla. Male. Forewing length 2.7 mm (n = 1). Head unmodified, with 3 ocelli; antennae unmodified. Tibial spur count 1, 3, 4. Color in alcohol brown, denuded. Genitalia. Abdominal sternum VII without mesoventral process. Segment VIII unmodified. Segment IX anterolateral margin convex, narrowing and withdrawn into segments VII–VIII, posterolateral margin convex, with small apicoventral process; dorsally, with posterior margin membranous, flat. Preanal appendage short, rounded; dorsally with posterior margin rugose. Dorsolateral hook stout, decurved. Inferior appendage interior surface bearing row of peglike setae, truncate basally, apex elongate and extended in narrow, triangular process. Tergum X membranous, apex subquadrate in dorsal view. Phallus widest at base, membranous apex with 3 spines, 1st and 2nd spiraling outward, 3rd slender, elongate, extending apically within membranous sheath. Type material. Holotype male— PANAMA: Chiriquí Province: Cuenca 102 (Río Chiriquí Viejo), Quebrada Norte, Mount Totumas Biological Reserve, 8.873613°N, 82.690512°W, UV-light trap, 18.iii.2016, B. and T. Armitage (COZEM). Etymology. Calla, referring to the shape of membranous apex of the phallus, which reminds the authors of a calla lily. Genus Neotrichia Morton. Fourteen species in the genus Neotrichia were previously known for Panama, seven of which were described in Panama and are currently endemic. Herein we add one new species from Mount Totumas.Published as part of Thomson, Robin E. & Armitage, Brian J., 2018, The Trichoptera of Panama. VI.
