Hedonic Prices and House Numbers: The Influence of Feng Shui
No full textIn contemporary practice, feng shui incorporates a wide range of concepts considered to affect a person’s luck. These include traditional ideas about site selection and building design, as well as newer beliefs about the “luckiness” of certain numbers. Focusing on an area with a relatively high percentage of Chinese households in Auckland, New Zealand, this paper uses hedonic price analysis to investigate whether house values are affected by lucky and unlucky numbers. Sales transactions for 1989 to 1996 are used in this analysis. The results demonstrate that lucky house numbers are capitalised into house values.Feng shui, hedonic price model, lucky, New Zealand
Lathrobium zhui Peng and Li
No full textLathrobium zhui Peng and Li, new name Lathrobium zhui, new name, is proposed for Lathrobium pilosum Peng & Li, 2012: 74, from Zhejiang, which is a junior primary homonym of Lathrobium pilosum Gravenhorst, 1802: 56. The Gravenhorst name was moved to Tetartopeus. The replacement name is a patronym in honor of Li-Long Zhu who collected one of the type specimens.Published as part of Peng, Zhong, Li, Li-Zhen & Zhao, Mei-Jun, 2014, Seventeen new species and additional records of Lathrobium (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from mainland China, pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 3780 (1) on page 34, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3780.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28574

Comparative notes. The new species resembles L. badagongense Peng & Li, 2014 from Badagong Shan, Hunan in the shape of the male sternite VIII, the morphology of the aedeagus (shape of ventral process; distinctly sclerotized apical portion of dorsal plate) and the female sexual characters (shape of sternite VIII; divided median portion of tergite IX). It is distinguished from L. badagongense by reddish brown coloration, the chaetotaxy of the male sternite VIII, the internal structures of the aedeagus, as well as the shape of the female tergite VIII.

Measurements (in mm) and ratios: BL 8.73, FL 4.28, HL 1.33, HW 1.30, AnL 2.28, PL 1.67, PW 1.30, EL 0.83, AL 1.63, HL/HW 1.02, HW/PW 1.00, HL/PL 0.80, PL/PW 1.28, EL/PL 0.50. Habitus as in Fig. 5 C. Body dark brown, legs light brown, antennae brown. Head: punctation moderately fine and moderately dense, somewhat sparser in median dorsal portion; interstices with shallow microsculpture. Eyes moderately small and composed of approximately 60 ommatidia. Pronotum with weakly convex lateral margins in dorsal view; punctation somewhat sparser than that of head; impunctate midline broad; interstices without microsculpture. Elytral punctation dense and shallow, defined to ill-defined. Hind wings completely reduced. Abdomen with fine and rather dense punctation, that of tergite VII sparser than that of anterior tergites; interstices with shallow microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII without palisade fringe. Male. Posterior margin of tergite VIII weakly convex; sternites III–VI unmodified; sternite VII (Fig. 8 A) strongly transverse, with dense dark setae in shallow median impression posteriorly, posterior margin broadly concave in the middle, pubescence unmodified, except for few modified short marginal setae near posterior concavity; sternite VIII (Fig. 8 B) transverse, with deep median impression posteriorly, posterior excision deep and symmetric, margins of this excision with short, blackish setae; aedeagus as in Figs 8 C, D, ventral process long and asymmetric; dorsal plate moderately sclerotized and thin; internal sac with a long sclerotized spine. Female. Unknown. Comparative notes. The similar shape and chaetotaxy of the male sternite VIII (posterior excision with dense short and dark setae), the morphology of the aedeagus (asymmetric ventral process; presence of a long sclerotized spine in internal sac; thin dorsal plate) and the external characters (large body; finely punctate head) suggest that L. shuguangi is allied to L. hujiayaoi Peng & Li, 2013 from Maoer Shan, Guangxi. It is distinguished from L. hujiayaoi by the lighter coloration of the body, the shallow median impression of the male sternite VII and the shape of the male sternite VIII. For illustrations of L. hujiayaoi see Peng et al. (2013). Distribution and natural history. The type locality is situated in the Wugong Shan to the south of Pingxiang, western Jiangxi. The specimen was sifted from leaf litter in mixed forests at an altitude of 1340–1400 m, together with L. taiye. Etymology. This species is dedicated to Mr. Shu-Guang Peng, the first author’s father, who supported us on our field trips.Published as part of Peng, Zhong, Li, Li-Zhen & Zhao, Mei-Jun, 2016, On the Lathrobium fauna of the Luoxiao Mountains, Central China, pp. 385-402 in Zootaxa 4158 (3) on pages 395-396, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4158.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/27221

Pronotum nearly parallel-sided; punctation somewhat denser than that of head; impunctate midline broad; interstices without microsculpture. Elytral punctation moderately dense and shallow. Hind wings completely reduced. Protarsomeres I–IV with weak sexual dimorphism. Abdomen with fine and dense punctation, punctation of tergite VII slightly less dense than that of anterior tergites; interstices with shallow microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII without palisade fringe; tergite VIII with weakly pronounced sexual dimorphism. Male. Posterior margin of tergite VIII truncate; sternites III–VI unmodified; sternite VII (Fig. 2 D) strongly transverse, with shallow median impression posteriorly, this impression with rather weakly modified setae directed obliquely postero-mediad, posterior margin concave in the middle; sternite VIII (Fig. 2 E) weakly transverse, symmetric, with longitudinal and shallow impression in the middle, and with shallow, broadly V-shaped posterior excision; aedeagus as in Figs 2 F, G, ventral process slender and moderately long, somewhat asymmetric in ventral view; dorsal plate with large and sclerotized apical portion, and with short basal portion; internal sac with two sclerotized spines of different shapes. Female. Posterior margin of tergite VIII (Fig. 2 A) weakly convex; sternite VIII as in Fig. 2 B, convexly produced posteriorly; tergite IX (Fig. 2 C) with very short, medially undivided antero-median portion and moderately long postero-lateral processes; tergite X (Fig. 2 C) 3.8 times as long as antero-median portion of tergite IX. Comparative notes. Based on the morphology of the aedeagus, this species may be allied to L. jinyuae, from which it is distinguished by somewhat smaller body size, the lighter coloration of the body, the chaetotaxy of the male sternite VII and the nearly straight ventral process of the aedeagus. Lathrobium bamianense is distinguished from the syntopic L. fumingi by smaller body size, reddish coloration of the body, the broadly V-shaped posterior excision of the male sternite VIII, by the shape of ventral process and dorsal plate of the aedeagus, as well as the shape of the female tergite VIII. Distribution and natural history. The type locality is situated in the Bamian Shan to the west of Guidong, eastern Hunan. The specimens were sifted from leaf litter and humus in a rhododendron forest at altitudes of 1510 and 1760 m, partly together with L. fumingi. Etymology. The species is named after its type locality (Bamian Shan).Published as part of Peng, Zhong, Li, Li-Zhen & Zhao, Mei-Jun, 2016, On the Lathrobium fauna of the Luoxiao Mountains, Central China, pp. 385-402 in Zootaxa 4158 (3) on pages 386-388, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4158.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/27221
