    <i>Docosia fasciculata</i> Polevoi, sp. n. <p>https://zoobank.org/NomenclaturalActs/ 219F5214-51D5-4D05-BA69-2F6413EF180F</p> <p>Figs 15–20</p> <p> TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype – ♂, <b>Russia</b>: Yakutia, River Khotokho, middle part, 61.064° N, 113.367° E, 315 m, 15.VIII 2018, A. Burnasheva leg. [ZISP, INS _ DIP_0001009].</p> <p> DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERS. Small species with black body, partly darkened legs and transparent wings. Resembles <i>Docosia landrocki</i> Lastovka et Sevcik, 2006 and <i>D. caucasica</i> Kurina et Kirik, 2021 by dense submedian tufts of modified setae on posteroventral margin of conocoxites (Kurina & Kirik, 2021: Figs 2 B, 3 B). Differs from both species by the shape of gonostylus. The latter is similar to that of <i>D. mulleri</i> Plassmann, 1986 (Fig. 21), but lacking deep apical excision on its ventral branch. Most of the Nearctic species of <i>Docosia</i> are poorly documented, but as we can judge from available descriptions and illustrations (Johannsen, 1912; Garrett, 1925; Van Duzee, 1928; Fisher, 1937; Taber, 2011, 2012, 2018) none of them is similar to new species.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION. Male. Head, face and clypeus black. Three ocelli placed almost in line; lateral ocellus almost touching compound eye, separated from eye margins by less than half of their own diameter. Mouthparts black, palpi dark brown. Scape and pedicel dark brown (flagellum missing).</p> <p>Thorax. Mesonotum, pleurae and scutellum black, with pale setae. Laterotergite and mediotergite bare. Haltere dark yellow.</p> <p>Wing (partly missing). Length ca. 3 mm. Preserved part hyaline. Sc pale yellow, ends in R1. Radial veins and r-m dark brown.</p> <p>Legs (partly missing). All coxae yellow and darkened basally. Trochanters blackish. Femora mostly yellow, fore and mid femur dark along entire ventral margin, hind femur darkened ventrally at base. Tibiae mostly yellow; fore and mid tibia darkened dorsally. Fore tarsus seem darker because of dense setae. Spur of fore and mid tibia yellow. Ratio of tibia to basitarsus for fore leg: 1.37.</p> <p>Abdomen black with pale hairs.</p> <p>Terminalia dark brown. Posteroventral margin of gonocoxites with short median and posterolateral processes; dense tufts of modified setae placed between them (Figs 15, 18); the setae in tufts are flattened and curved apically (Fig. 19). Tergite 9 slightly longer than wide; posterior margin rounded, bearing strong setae (Fig. 16). Gonostylus: dorsal branch trapezoid in lateral view; ventral branch bearing two short apical spines and one subapical seta (Figs 17, 20). Cercus with 13 combs of retinacula (Figs 17, 18).</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION. So far known only from the type locality in the South-East Yakutia</p> <p>HABITAT AND BIOLOGY. Collected in herb-rich flood plain meadow. Larval biology unknown.</p> <p> ETYMOLOGY. The species epithet (from Latin <i>fasciculus</i> – bundle, packet, bunch) refers to distinctive submedian agglomerations of modified setae.</p>Published as part of <i>Polevoi, A. V. & Potapova, N.

Generally black North American <i>Macrorrhyncha coxalis</i> (Loew, 1870) has scutellum yellow laterally and darkened knob of halter, while in new species scutellum is completely black and halter is uniformly brown.</p> <p>DNA BARCODE BIN REGISTRY. Uniquely assigned to BIN BOLD:AEO8712, with distance 7.22% to the nearest BIN BOLD:AEJ6886, containing unidentified Keroplatidae.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION. Male. Head black. Face, clypeus and mouthparts black. Distance from ventral margin of eye to tip of labellum 1.8 times as long as eye height. Antenna black, fifth flagellomere 1.3 times as long as wide.

    Concerning Investigation of the Cultural Dyssinchrony of the Mental Development of Intellectually Gifted Teenagers. The Social Sciences

    No full text
    In the 21st century, the study of the culture impact on the mental development of a person is topical like never before. However, the cultural-psychological aspect of the personality formation is underinvestigated in the psychological science and practice. This is particularly so with the studies relating to the gifted teenagers. The gap in this area shall be filled with this study during which a set of psycho-diagnostic procedures was developed that also includes the author?s culturally-oriented questionnaire by V. V. Potapova. Totally, 412 teenagers were diagnosed. The performed research study of impact of culture including the ethnic culture on the mental development of the intellectually gifted teenagers was described. The ambivalent nature of this impact is emphasized: from socialization and mental regulation to neurotization of a personality. The scientific definition of the cultural dyssinchrony of the mental development and its types is marginal, mono-cultural, deep
